   Trying to 're-import' a normal map using the 'reimporter' but get the following error in Photoshop: System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid. at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(String filename) at DDO.IDMapper.GetAlphaXml() Any ideas? Thx in advance.

   Just came across this issue and thought id share a quick fix. If you have moved the files from the time you started the project, just open up the Project.xml file and replace the path(s) for the files in the <Inputs> section.

   Sorry I should have been more clear :) I meant that if you moved your files from the time that you started the project to when you tried to reimport inputs, if so, the projects can´t find the original files and will cause this crash. Could that be the reason?

   @StillLife: Did either of these advice help? Also, you say you haven't had problems with the backup routine you have going - have you tried re-importing for backed up projects before?

   I know this thread is kind of old, but I just had this issue and managed to resolve it so I thought I'd share. Basically DDo seems to convert ID maps from .tga to .png. Since I always work in .tga I thought the .png one was a mistake or something so I deleted it. That's when the issue happened. Putting that file back in…

   Thanks for your timely reply ; ) Sorry, not clear what you mean by moving project files "during your reimport". In this case I am working off a backup copy of the project folder but this hasn't caused me problems with previous projects. I tested the 'reimporter' on several other projects and I'm not getting this error.…

   Hi StilLife! Did you move any of the project files during your reimport, does this only happen with the normal map and only on this project?

   Thanks for your reply. So, this may not be the 'recommended' way of working but, I will occasionally copy/paste my working folder/directory as a sort of iterative backup scheme, i.e, it gives me the ability to go back to a previous version in case something goes terribly wrong with dDo :) I know, I know, but this method…
