Photoshop .PSD import

Can Zbrush handle 16 and 32 bit PSD files from photoshop ?
Basically I created a displacement map in ZB opened it into Photoshop CS3 and saved it as a .psd 32 bit.

What I get when I open it in ZB brush again is a garbled mess of colour…
I’m doing this because ZB won’t open TIff’s even a Tiff that it has created…

ZBrush can export 32-bit displacement maps, but cannot display them within ZBrush. When ZBrush creates these maps it actually takes the data set and exports it directly from RAM without ever putting the map into the interface.

ZBrush can import 16-bit grayscale PSD’s. They can only be imported into the Alpha palette.

Hope that helps.

Grayscale !!! thats about the only option I didn’t try.
Yes it does help - a lot. Thanks. :slight_smile:
