[Photo Files Corrupted]

I've uploaded the file.

Not that it really matters, but this file started as a camera raw file that I edited in Capture One. I then edited with Affinity Photo and changed the plain grey wall to a jpeg texture. The jpeg obviously is an 8-bit file and the camera file was 16. I do this all the time and have never had any issue with doing it this way before.

I just tried drawing a rectangle on a psd file and it worked just fine. I don't know what I did earlier that it didn't work. I must have done something different.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi tomrock,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
1. Do you still have the original file you created in Affinity 1.8 (or 1.8.1) that fails to open in 1.8.3 for us to check please? Can you attach it here (i can provide an upload link if you wish to keep the file private)? Thanks.

2. Features (LUT adjustment) not supported by the PSD format (Photoshop) are rasterised on export. That's expected.

3. What's the format of the image you have opened? If it's a JPG or PNG and you use File > Save after editing them and select Save Flattened in the dialog that will appear, then the JPG/PNG will be rewritten as a flattened image (these formats don't support layers among other things depending the format). If you select Save As instead the document will be saved in Affinity Photo native format (afphoto file) and you edits will be kept intact/editable. That's expected as well.

Thanks!

Number 1: I do have the file that can't be opened. Send me a link and I'd be glad to get it to you. It's an 800 meg 16-bit psd file.

Number 2: I didn't know that. Simple explanation.

Number 3: I think this is the same a Number 2. If I open a psd file, draw a rectangle on top of the pixel layer, save the file and re-open it, the rectangle has turned into a pixel layer. Maybe saving rectangles in psd files isn't supported?

I've seen the "This File type not supported.", too. I had a psd file that I created in Affinity Photo 1.8 (or maybe 1.8.1) that wouldn't open in 1.8.3. I tried opening it in Photoshop CC and one of the layers was corrupt.

I've also had issues using LUT adjustment layers in 1.8.3. If I make a LUT Adjustment Layer, save as a psd, close the file and re-open it the adjustment layer has turned into a pixel layer.

If I draw a rectangle over an image, adjust the blending range, save and re-open, the rectngle has turned into a pixel layer.

Something is not right here.
