Hello, I have many crash problems with my Affinity Photo App. It crash very often when opening or importing files (psd, tif...). When it comes, it is impossible to open the file, even I save it with Photoshop (in the same format or any other format). But the same original files can be open with AF Designer without any problem. Any ideas to solve this?

Hi Paul, I agree with you and I do the same most of the time. Because I have the Adobe suite. But Eps is still very widespread for those who don't have it (the client who want a source file of your job for example). More other, I have many common works with a graphic who doesn't AD and is attached to the Adobe Suite. We need a good and simple way to exchange. Ok, pdf could be the solution. But with the AD export tests I did, the colors where modified (you know when a value is transformed from 45% to 44.89%...) and texts became cut by letters and not by words (depending on kerning, line return, etc). That's why the PDF/X export is so important. But AD is a very promising soft and I will continue to learn to work with it.

Hey Meb! Thanks for the answer. I look at the roadmap and it seems printing is important for you :-) But what is the calendar for it? I know it's a lot of work ( and Bravo for all you've already done!) but to be a really operational, AD has to be full compatible with all professionals who don't have it yet. Eps is really the generic exchange format for all vector illustration. So it has to be a priority.

Hello, reading your talk, it seems that AD is mainly design for digital uses. What about the print? Eps is still very important format in print because it's the main format to import vector files in Indesign or Quark Xpress. It's also a main way to exchange with people working with Illustrator. Our illustrations created with AD must be usable by others graphic designer. SVG is not a solution because it convert colors in RVB. PSD is not a vector app. Even PDF make changes in illustrations (cmyk colors are modified, transparencies are transformed...) See the file attached: a very simple illustration. I'm unable to export it correctly as an eps file. The transparencies disappear or the shapes become bitmap. The texts become courbs and are not editable anymore. Is there a good method to export in eps and keep the illustration safe?
