hence my question-aro guys... i does say anything that is PSD compliant...this is BP..and might bring some benefits and hazards over PS.

I was just thinking the same thing... but instead to BP, I was curious if I could link it to Painter. Since it can read PSD's...
Sorry, carry on folks :)

If it works with the standard Photoshop Plugin format then it should work with BP.

well it does and it doesn't work. Its a sad issue maxon needs to fix, there is no way to specify which window cinema opens the image files to, and unfortunately it ipens them in the picutre viewer. so it does open cinema/BP, but it loads the image in the pictureviewer wehee its utterly useless.

Good question though, I'd never even thought about trying that before, would be nice, This goes along with a battle I've had between picutre viewer and texture view for along time. Alwasy welcome a little more ammo for the battle.

simply make a generic psd. file that you will use as a image now right click file and select
painter not photoshop. Now all painter is your default psd link to all psd formatted fies.
Zapp link reads .psd files
