Sudden Problem w/PNGs! As of today, AE is choking on my grayscale PNG files, even those which are in older comps.
The error messages are:
Internal verification failure, sorry! You can only assign RBG profiles.
AEGP Plugin PNGIO Support: Unable to decode PNG file.
Why would this occur - even on older files which have been working correctly until today?

Re: Sudden Problem w/PNGs! No, however, in looking further into my other PNGs, I don't think any of them are grayscale, so maybe this issue has always been there. If a gs png is imported, the thumbnail displays correctly in the project window, but AE chokes on the image when it tries to display it in a comp.
The problem goes away when the png is converted to rgb.
Thanks for the reply.
Re: Sudden Problem w/PNGs! What color depth and color profiles do you use (if any)? I could only imagine this happening in 16bpc or 32bpc mode or by assigning a output simulation profile other than sRGB/ Adobe RGB...

Re: Sudden Problem w/PNGs! The images were 8bit grayscale, saved from PShop. When converted to RGB, they work properly. But as mentioned, they don't behave consistently in AE.
Re: Sudden Problem w/PNGs! Yepp, seeing it on my end as well now. Seems to be a bug. The same file imported as a greyscale TIFF behaves correctly :-/.

Re: Sudden Problem w/PNGs! Bug filed, workaround as follows: Safe the PNG via "Save for Web". The issue only occurs with files saved directly from PS using "Save as...", so PS is messing up the header, it seems.
