Title: Editing .IFF files on Photoshop?
Post by: zonaps2 on June 08, 2009, 04:43:32 AM: Is it possible? I can open amiga .iff files on photoshop and edit them but I cannot save them as an IFF.
Anyone knows how to edit and save them so I can open it on my A500?
thanks.

EDIT- **SOLVED**
I just search on this forum for "photoshop" and found a better plug-in for iff files, the one I had was corrupt or something.

I've read their spec, they are not the be all and end all, but noone has really made a replacement for them. :confused:

that's because one of the early developers was originally an Amiga guy

I can also load IFF's in AfterEffects, but unless you are a professional it's unlikely you (regular folks) would have that program :)

Lightwave (on a PC) used to load IFF's - I have no idea if it still does

PSP v7 too, not sure about more recent versions.

Is that 'Amiga' IFF's or Maya IFF's? Stupid Maya stole our extension! It can get kinda confusing if you are a Maya user.

Amiga IFF

although it's the earier version - not the IFX version with the alpha channel

It is not really an editor though, in the sense that you can't adjust individual pixels (only do resizing, cropping, brightness and other processes/filters).
