Problem with Gimp

[FTC_SimSonius]

I have a big problem if I liked to open the PSD file with Gimp.

I have made for you 2 Screenshots to show you a picture comparison. As an example the La-5 Template

 

Thus it looks in Photoshop:

 

 

And thus it looks in Gimp:

 

The fuel lecks and stuff like this are gone.

 

It seems to me, that some layers are destroyed if you open it with Gimp.

But I need Gimp to Export it as DDS Image.

 

Has anyone a solution for this problem?

Or can someone show me how to Export it as DDS Image with Photoshop?

Im using Photoshop CS2.

 

Thank you for reading this.

You can get the NVIDIA Texture Tools (plugin for PS) here: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop

After installing them you can export files as .dds

 

As an alternative you could just flatten the image in PS before opening it in Gimp.

Im using the alternative way. It works.

Thank you for the quick answer

To answer the initial question (why the images look different) and help other people with the same issue:

 

The templates were created in Photoshop so they are setup to work fine with it but in Gimp certain layers of the template will not be visible due to the way Gimp treats layer settings.

To solve the issue look for any layers with blending mode set to "Overlay", "Multiply", "Soft Light" ect and  drag them out of their sub layer group into the main layer group. Usually this includes smaller details (rivets, panel lines), weathering and shadowing layers.
