Thanks for responding Jim....but the crux of the problem is that FCP is
telling me the .psd I'm trying to Import is an "unknown file"...since I'm
creating it in Corel Photo-Paint (then "saving as" or "exporting" as Adobe
Photoshop) I'm wondering if there is a problem with Photo-Paint not really
formatting the file correctly or what.....it adds the .psd extension, and
the file does show up in the FCP "Import" navigation window (the other
Photo-Paint documents (.cpt) in the same folder don't), but FCP won't open
it...I'm wondering if anyone else has tried to create PSD files in
Photo-Paint and have had the same problem, or, even had the same problem
with real PSD (actually created in Photoshop) files not opening.

Thx again...MP
