I'd give this a +1000 if that were a thing... I love Affinity Photo, particularly since I can use it on my iPad Pro - I'd love to see their take on a Lightroom replacement that could also work on the iPad as well... Based on their thoughtful design of Affinity Photo and Designer, I can only imagine how great their Lightroom replacement could be...

Yes it is weird. Do you have any tools to determine the difference between the photoshop clown psd and the one created by affinity photo (sorry about the really bad samples - scary).

BTW - BMD Fusion Studio is the standalone version of Fusion, not the Fusion page in Davinci Resolve Studio. The PSD from Affinity appears to work fine within Davinci Resolve Studio. I'm trying to understand the difference - something in the way Affinity forms the PSD is not compatible with Fusion Studio (perhaps you will be able to determine the difference between the two attached PSD and that will provide a clue?). Thanks again for your help, Gabe.

Yes. Out of curiosity, when you say you created one and it's fine, where did you use it? How do you know that it's fine? The reason I posted this as a bug is because Fusion Studio imports 'real' PSDs made with Photoshop and they work fine. If I open these same photoshop documents in Affinity and then export them as PSD, Fusion cannot see them correctly (the images are black). Attached is Colorful_Clown_3.psd which was made a couple of years ago with Photoshow Creative Cloud 2015 (I believe). I opened this in Affinity 1.7.2 and exported it as a PSD (maintain editability setting). Notice that the export is half the size of the original for some reason. At any rate, the original works just fine in BMD Fusion Studio while the PSD created by Affinity does not. I should note that some apps see the PSD correctly (Avid Media Composer, for example, seems to bring in a PSD created by Affinity correctly although I did have an unexplained crash with that clown PSD from Affinity - but other PSD's from Affinity seemed to work). Thanks. Colorful_Clown_3_from_affinity.psd Colorful_Clown_3.psd

Lol - Davinci Fusion Studio. I can't believe GoPro co'opted that same name (Black Magic Design should call them on that one). Thanks for the warm welcome, Gabe.

I realize that so much can go wrong with a PSD export from Affinity. I'm on a Windows platform and I've brough in a layered PSD into Affinity and saved it back out with the 'preferred editable' setting. The original PSD is RGBA/8 Adobe RGB (1998). I can load this file into Fusion Studio (with its PSD Import function) without any problems. If I export this PSD document out of Affinity as a PSD I can open it again in Affinity and it seems to be the same (RGBA/8 Adobe RGB(1998)) but its file size is much smaller and Fusion Studio sees only black layers when it tries to open the PSD created by Affinity Photo. My thought is that there is something wrong with the way Affinity Photo creates PSD files but I really can't figure out what could be wrong (and I no longer have Photoshop to test with). Anyone have any suggestions? The original PSD opens just fine in Fusion Studio.
