PRN747 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 When i try to open a PSD file with text on a circle it places the text randomly on the canvas in a text frame. I have seen several posts regarding this from years ago. Any idea when this import function will be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted November 20, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hey PRN747, welcome to the Affinity Forums. Thanks for the report, however, could you please follow this link and read our guidelines on how to effectively report a potential bug:https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/76-report-a-bug-in-affinity-photo/ We usually ask for a file and the steps on how to reproduce this. Unfortunately, not everyone on the support team is familiar with all the bug reports we receive so this will help us get this passed to the developers to investigate further.

PRN747 Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Please find attached 2 samples. Sample.psd Circle.psd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted November 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 25, 2019 Ah so you mean 'text on a path'! It looks like we do not import text on a path from PSD files. The text will become a pixel layer and the only option to retain editable text is in Preferences > General > Import PSD text as text rather than bitmap so this looks like it is by design.

Ushur Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Perhaps it is not a bug but I think it can't be called "by design". I think it's a missing feature so perhaps a feature request should be made. "By design" is when there is something for a specific reason and you can't implement it without blasting the architecture. I know it's always easy to tell someone it's "by design", but I think in this case (and the most other cases) it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted November 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 25, 2019 Can you explain why the two samples you attached are different? Sample.psd in Photoshop looks the same as Sample.psd in Affinity and Circle.psd in Photoshop looks the same as Circle.psd in Affinity. Yet the two files differ from each other.

Staff Chris B Posted November 26, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 26, 2019 Also, I should mention that Photo doesn't even support text on a path as you cannot make it from scratch. Anyway, I have spoken to the developers about this so your feedback has been passed over. Thank you.

PRN747 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 The different files are to show that when importing i get different results. Regarding the end-result, there is no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRN747 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Which of your tools does support text on a path? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
