  1. —With this being the case, why does copy/pasting an object from Adobe Illustrator into Affinity Designer (mostly) work? My experience: Tried opening an EPS file from iStock. The illustration is of multiple items on a desk. Affinity turned some parts of the image into bitmap. Also, the whole layer organization became a total disorganized mess when opened in Affinity. But, inside of Adobe Illustrator (free trial), I selected a group (illustration of eyeglasses), copied it (Command-C), and pasted it into Affinity. It worked! The one difference I notice between the eyeglasses opened in AI versus the eyeglasses copy/pasted into Affinity: There is a shadow on the eyeglasses, which was created with multiple copies of the eyeglass frames, where each shadow-copy of the frame is shifted a little bit, and each copy is successively lighter in color—the look is akin to opening a book which makes the pages slightly stick out one from each other—only the pages get darker in color from one page to the next. Also, these shadow-objects each have a transparency of 50% inside of Ai. However—and this is the difference—when copy/pasted into Affinity, the transparency in these shadow-objects becomes 100% opaque. In contrast, the lens of the eyeglasses retains transparency when copy/pasted into Affinity. If copy/pasting works (mostly), why is Affinity not able to open the file (mostly) correctly?
  2. When a Layer Effect of Outer Shadow is used, and the Artboard is flipped horizontally, the shadow effect does not flip too. Not sure if there are instances where this is the desired behavior, but my preference is to have the effect flip with the flipped Artboard.
