Hi MEB, thank you for your reply. some files open but many others show the message 'parsing of the file failed' and I don't find an export possibility either. .psb is used for files, exceeding 2Gb. I just found out, that sometimes'Levels' layers are reproduced incorrectly, in other files they appear like in PS. Why? Hue/Saturation (in Affinity HSL) is not reproduced correctly either..... I know HSL is much more powerfull, but I have to be able to import PS files 1:1 because it still is the industry standard and everybody works with it. I love this program, but obviously there is still a lot to do before we can use it together with photoshop.

Beside layered tiff, another most important file format to be supported is the large file format (.psb) Many, if not the majority of our files are 2Gb plus... and are thus saved as .psb in Photoshop. (Much faster than layered tiff) Both file formats are an absolute must before we can integrate Affinity in our workflow. Is there a maximum file size in Affinity? Best, Dick
