IN PROGRESS: My PSD Albedo file is all messed up!

manilamerc

I'm texturing a character and I WAS able to assign materials to my assigned swatches but I can't do that anymore. Also my masks don't even show up on the material list. When I want to add a material I get an error. My other PSD files work fine but not this one. I have PS CC

Here take a look

this is what I was talking about missing masks and swatches are greyed out



when I make a new material I get an error






I tried my other psd files and they work fine. I also tried reinstalling a few times.

this is the quixel suite. I'm using DDO but for some reason my file is messed up

This is very strange, so its only one file that has been corrupted, and you haven´t done anything between the time it worked and now? updated PS or The SUITE?

I did do something but I can't really remember. I just remember it saving out to a giberish name like "alijfhj" but I don't know how that happened. I updated quixel but not PS. My PS is torrented.

I can confirm that this has happened to me many times before.

@Eric, if you want I can send you my project files for the broken scene

You could try to recreate your material masks by selecting right colors for missing swatches but there is no guarantee they will be lost again. Welcome to my problem as well. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2293193&postcount=1 Something is definitely wrong with the ID maps or how Photoshop (Quixel Suite) interpret them. It might be some color management problem in Photoshop from file to file or something else linked to the colors in file.
