can you look at the layers in P10.
If i open up a PSD file in PS10 it opens up in big square blocks of color where i have colored a b&w picture.
what i want to do is change my color of skin tone i used in the originally, as P10 seems to have a better color scheme than Elements does for tones of flesh.
Any ideas?
.psd files in P10

I am using Photoshop 7.01 and PI 10 when talking about the two programs. Don’t have Elements, but maybe this will help.
Yes you can open a PSD in PI 10 in Layers. First of all your original image is part of the PSD background. So, should you want to work with the original image you must create a copy of the background image as a layer in PSD. Each time you want to add an effect, you must create a new layer in PSD. When done you can then save in the PSD file format.
PI 10 will open the PSD in multiple layers. To do so, you must change the following Preferences in PI 10: File, Preferences, General, Categories, Open & Save, PSD Settings. Change Open options to Open each layer as an object. Also if you are to save and work on this file again in PSD, check the Save options, make the correct selection as to whether you want the image saved merged or in layers. Select OK and the changes are effective.
When you Open the PSD File in PI 10, you will get the Open PSD File Dialog Box, select Open each layer as an object (some settings are not supported), select Open. You will find the last layer in the PSD file highlighted with the marching ants; you can work on this or any previous layer, as long as PI 10 supports the effect created on that particular layer.
Although you can work on each layer PI 10 really doesn’t support Layers in the way that PSD does but is pretty close. So, to work on a layer you may have to use the Arrange Tool in PI 10 to move a layer Front to Back to get at it to work on it. Don’t forget to move all Layers back to their original order before saving. If the Save option is set to save in layers you will be able to open and work on this file in PSD again. You may have to use the Move tool to get at some Layers in PSD.
Remember both programs have their way of doing things and so not all may work in harmony, so check your image and changes carefully when opening them in each program to make sure all is there.

hi thanks for reply apologies for getting back.
I tried at the weekend to have a look at what you said and could see all the layers but when saved back it went wrong. what i did do in the end was to change the color cast to yellow the picture slightly and this did the trick.
Basically i only had one color pic to work from all the others were originally B&W. the original pic is slightly yellowed anyway so the continuity will be correct.

It sounds as though you are getting a difference between each programs sRGB Profile. Unfortunately this is a complex issue and takes quite a bit of understanding to get a match so there are no changes between programs. You might want to read the thread on this forum titled Print Callibration in PI 10 before you proceed with the following recommendation.
You want to set up PSD and PI with the same profiles and the same Gamma settings so there are no changes between programs when working on an image. Refer to the previously mentioned thread for greater understanding.
What to do is this; once all of the settings are made in PI, then load an image in PSD make a copy and then save. You will then open that copy in PI. Compare both copies of the image in each program respectively side by side on screen. Then make additional changes to the Preferences and Gamma in PI to match the image in PSD. This allows you to work on the same image in each program, and then both images will reflect changes without any viewable difference.
