Problems importing MB 4.53 task in MB 4.62

somaKG

We get this error when we try to import some of our MB 4.53 task to a MB 4.62 server;
Error importing task
Reason: Unable to import task file. Check logs for details. (0x8004043d)

In MBP.log, it shows this error:
06/25/09 18:09:55 Error Importing Task: C:\Interwoven\MediaBin Server\System Tasks\tsk9.tmp Unknown primitive: {8CEA4130-7CC1-11D3-8D95-005004084986} this may be due to the lack of Adobe Graphics Server.

The problem happens because "PSD Layer Replacer" is no longer available in MB 4.62. I also confirmed that when I remove that primitive I can import the file without any problem.

Has anyone seen this problem? Were you able to find a replacement for that primitive?

There is no direct replacement for the PSD Layer Replacer however the new Image Compositor primitive behaves similarly. However instead of sandwiching one layer into many as the old primitive did, the new primitive acts on pairs of images and therefore in some cases you will need two instances of it one for the layers "above" the image to be replaced and one below.

Some of the advances effects such as drop shadows are unfortunately not available with the new primitive, at least to the extent that they are image-dependent. For example, I have seen instances of a drop shadow in which all the layers to be replaced had the same shadow and we were able to incorporate that into the "below" layer.
