Importing PSD files into Harmony - Error

Hi,
I’m having trouble importing PSD files into Harmony 16.
I’ve followed the guide. And it did work the first time I tried it.
But since then I have been getting an error message “Exception while importing PSD file”.
Could anyone help me figure out why it suddenly doesn’t work?

Cheers
Sean

Hey Sean,

Not sure if it helps but I have a few ideas.

  • Each layer should be flattened into a single image and placed in a group (each layer should be 1 image inside 1 group).

  • Make sure all Adjustment layers are turned off or baked into your images as Harmony won’t read adjustment layers.

  • Certain characters in the folder/layer names can cause issues when importing into Harmony. I think using a dash is problematic so I usually switch those to be underscores. I’ve had that issue a few times.

  • Try deleting any excess layers in PS that you don’t need for your project. A few times I’ve seen issues caused due to nested groups inside layers that were turned off but still affected the harmony import until I deleted them.

If you find a different solution, let me know! I’m doing a lot of photoshop imports lately so any new info helps!

I have the same problem but solve it creating an 8 bit psd, with the 16 bit psd it merge all the layers into one.
