Normally I have no problems opening PSD files. This one crashes the program. Also I tried attaching it here but even in a zip file its too large. Could I email someone with it?

How do you plan to deal with it in CorelDRAW? You can't sep it there.

Do you know for a fact that it even opens in PS?
If so, perhaps, someone can open it in Photoshop and see if it's in channels in which case, I think that each channel could be saved as it's own file which may import without crashing. That's how I often output my PS stuff.

I can't promise that I have the time or skill to work on it, but I can try to open it and at least assess it a bit. Send it on over
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Yes.  Opened fine in PS.  I think Gerry is trying to open the .PSD in Corel.  My Corel will open it but the graphics are way off.  Opened it in PS and saved out as .eps and it opens fine in Corel.  Sent to Gerry.

I could save out each Layer as a separate .eps to open in Corel.  I don't know what his next step is, but I'll see what Gerry wants to do.

Ahhhh, no can do that after all.  The layers are more complex than that.  One layer has text with a colored drop shadow and Bevel/emboss.  Another has a gradient overlay and Inner Shadow....yuch.  he may have to work with the colors and sep it out in Corel.

What my customer wants is some shirts DTG'd, some business cards, some window perf for his truck and then see if we can knock his logo down to 2 colors to screen print some giveaway shirts.

You'd have to rasterize each layer, a pain. It's best to do this in PS, since it was created there.
