GIMP cannot open png files due incompatibility

Hi,

I need to know whether your PNG file has layers. If there are no layers, that means the file has been created by Firework and will only open in Fireworks.

Ask the designer to change it to .XCF format. You can also do that by opening your image in fireworks and save it as .XCF.

Otherwise, you can try converting it in any other format because GIMP won't open a PNG without layers.
