same here ... time to make it work you awesome folks at Serif!

thanks for the input guys! saves me a lot of time trying to figure it out by myself. but still surprises me that next to effects, adjustments and more ... all works just fine after being exported. and a "basic" thing like text doesn't make it through?! being almost freed from the Adobe-Subscribtion-Claws ... hope dies last to replace their apps completely and still being able to exchange documents as a professional in the design field ... and I talk for many colleagues! anyway ... it is the way it is and thx again!

hello, I hope to find a answer or workaround for an important matter when exporting from Affinity Photo as a PSD file. just sent a PSD file that I exported from Photo to a client and he reported back, that all the Text-Layers are rasterized and not editable. i tried the "PSD (preserve editability)" and "PSD (preserve accuracy)" but both versions export the document with rasterized text-layers. anything I missed or a workaround or is it not possible with Photo to export text-layers to a PSD file? BIG thanks in advance for your help!

great that his thread comes alive again and that you guys miss this feature as well!

I use the standard settings -> EPS (for export) -> PS level: 3 and nothing is rasterised therefore the "Raster DPI" field is blank. good luck mate!

just a little useful request from my side would be for Photo: for the Crop-Tool to add a Mode -> Crop to selection if you have an active selection it would crop the image to the size of it. THX for reading and considering this for future updates!

@RNKLN ... Apple Motion is a good package ... if you want to do the 1st steps in Motion Design or use it in combination with FCP. but After Effects is the one that most professionals use in their workflow and it is (at the moment) the industry standard! I am aware that 99% of my colleagues would change that tomorrow ... just to escape Adobe's claws (and obviously: the industry standard would change too)! I underline that money is a concern in Adobe's politics ... but what bugs me the most: the day I'll stop paying, I am not able to open my work anymore that I created in endless hours! and again my colleagues think the same way but at the moment their is no alternative which would allow to easily make the switch like you guys here at Serif made it easy with Photo and Designer! and that is important to make you right away comfortable inside a new software because there is no time to learn a new one that uses a different concept/approach like "node based" for example. so ... make it happen ... and you would make a ton of people even happier!

FANTASTIC!!! THANKS so much ... that trick worked to import the vectors into Cinema 4D!!! such a live-saver to simply change a suffix!!!

thanks for the good suggestions guys! @Hokusai no PDF's or better C4D recognizes them as a picture format and opens it in the picture viewer and not as Spline to work with it in 3D. @MBd changing the suffix from .pdf to .ai didn't do the trick: Unknown file format! SVG and EPS don't do the trick either and even from Illustrator the file has to be saved as V8 to work with C4D.

here we go -> download zipped psd file and BIG thx for looking into this!!!

thanks @ JimmyJackfor the useful inputs! I tried out all possible combinations in saving a render to test if I get an alpha channel in Affinity Photo ... but no luck! in PSD i get them (check attached img). am I still to used to the PSD channel-panel that I don't understand the one in Affinity Photo?! or are the alpha channels not read/shown?

THX @MEB for the information! I am sure that you have many requests for more applications after the great success with Affinity Photo and Design! my post was just very egoistic and I'll keep my hopes high that one day you will make it happen!

just a side note: Maxon Cinema 4D uses this format to import vector art into their 3D programs too! so it would be great and highly appreciated to export V8 files from Affinity Designer!!!

you guys made the market for creative software really rock!!! and I am telling everybody proudly that I have made the switch from Adobe to Serif!!! over 25 years of intensive professional use and after the silly change to the Creative Cloud ... I am almost free from the Adobe machine and that feels so good! just one more thing is missing in the Serif collection: an alternative to replace After Effects! and I guarantee you guys if you'll manage to get that one as excellent as Affinity Photo and Designer ... there will be another big wave of switcher's be rolling in!!! are they any plans for an "Affinity After Effects"?
