    Hi both,

    No problems here pasting the SVG. 

    I right click > Copy SVG code from XD, then just a normal "Paste" in Designer brings in the shape. Are you doing something different? 

    I see, I used normal copy command and then used paste special in Designer.
    As I mentioned there was SVG data inside the clipboard so I thought normal copy would work.

    Do you know of any other programs or methods that I can open the EPS file in and convert to SVG preserving the layers?  I would like to upgrade my Macs but then I will lose Illustrator.

    Adobe XD(free) can open .ai file.
    So rename the file extension to .ai in order to open eps in XD.

    Then save the file as SVG.

    Here is a more or less random test on AI (non-PDF based) features imported in a selection of graphic design apps:

    Would you provide the sample file?
    Or would you test the file in Adobe XD?

    I noticed XD has improved ai compatibility compared to a old version.
    I can open an ai file with proper layout that was kinda broken in old version.

    Alright, I've figured it out:
    In AI CS5 the technique is… wait for it… basically the same as in Affinity per my example above, except more complicated because first you have to add a clipping path to the placed image, then convert it back to regular path while keeping it grouped with the image, then you can apply multiple fills to the path which is now same size as the image below. Of course, you can do the same workflow in Affinity as well, but why should you, when you can do everything with just layer effects directly on the image layer?

    I think you can colorize the image in RGB mode if it's 1 bit or grayscale.

  5. Really? it's different on my side.
    The image layer without K only will be monotone-ish(total white and total black part will remain as is) when apply a color.
    but it's not exactly the same color as specified.

    It seems that once the K only is enabled in CMYK mode, it will be inherited even if the document is converted to RGB mode.
    But the color can not be applied to the image just placed. (you see thin red border around the logo, that's the color I applied)

    That is already possible. If you open a raster image file (JPG, TIFF, PNG) and make changes that do not result in adding layers (that is, the file remains a flat image file) then you can use File > Save (or Ctrl/Cmd+S) and overwrite the original. But you cannot use Save As; that would give you a native format file (.afphoto, etc.).

    If you do add layers, and try to Save, you will be prompted to Flatten the file. If you flatten, it will overwrite the original file; otherwise it will create a native format file.

    Yes, I'm aware of it including the override option for PSD.

    I agree with you (in my applications I divided into Save/SaveAs and Export many years ago), but I will add for completeness.

    Yes, saving JPG>JPG/PNG>PNG would be ok I think since the user must be aware of that it's a non-native format.
