Maybe this will help?
I know it doesn't contain your specific error,
but perhaps the solution is the same?

I found it @ Gimper.net...

Error loading PSD file: Unsupported compression mode: 65488

If the file does not load in either Gimp or Krita then probably gone for good.

Since you are using linux you probably have ImageMagick already installed. As an act of desperation try in a terminal (where the file is)

Code: Select all

identify -verbose filename.psd

That might get a "not recognized report" or with luck a very long listing of the file properties. example: https://i.imgur.com/pHySMxd.jpg

It then might be possible to extract layers using

Code: Select all

convert filename.psd[x] somename.png

where x is the layer number. example: https://i.imgur.com/QCg0q4q.jpg

You have to be careful saving/exporting large files in Gimp. The save/export dialogue closes but the file is still writing to disk. Close the image/gimp and file is corrupt.
