I have a weird problem that I cant open PCX- files in photoshop (see pic) . I tried 2007,2015 and 2020 they all give the same error and it came with WIN10 since it worked in WIN7, anyone have some solution?

Maybe post the file that others can check the format?

Hmm its all pcx-files, non will open in photoshop, gives the error above

Irfanview to the rescue

Probably because they aren't .pcx - how do I know? I run an iMac - normally if I single click on a pcx, Preview will just show a generic file image and not open the pcx as I have nothing (outside UT) to open them. WIth the pcx files in your UMSniperRifleV, Preview shows the content of the pcx - I see the image - so, for example, with the WolfBullets0.pcx I see the bullet box and the UM motif. If this file was a pcx I wouldn't see this.

The pcx file is exactly the same size as the bmp. So I would suggest that the pcx files aren't pcx but bmp and so Photoshop won't open them as a pcx because they aren't. I may be wrong but that's what it looks like to me.

I convert 256 colored .pcx files to True Color .png files, edit them like that, and then convert them back when I'm done.

Don't use photoshop though. I use ThumbsPlus for conversions and do edits with Microsoft Paint.

Gimp and Wally are a great combo, provided you can find where to download Wally (ANCIENT EDITOR!)

yeah I use irfanview if all else fails. I also have (ancient) paintshop but not photoshop. maybe irfanview can convert to png like one of the other posters said. edit then reconvert to pcx. I only use bmp 256 grayscale for UT99 because I make my terrains in bryce and dump the bmp's into terraedit

You could open PCX files on win7?
