JNMann Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Am I correct in thinking the latest version of Affinity now supports Photoshop Smart Object importing? I've had a go and whilst it appeared to work the object didn't display properly, it showed a flat image? Will be fantastic if this now works, it was the last thing keeping me with PS!!!

Staff Callum Posted February 27, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hi JNMann, It does now support smart objects in .PSD files however similar to .PSD text it first needs to be enabled within the General tab of the apps preferences. Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNMann Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Thanks Callum, I have enabled it and can open the smart object but it isn't wrapping around the object, just a flat file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andriko Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Yes, I found the same when importing a psd with smart objects that needs to go round like eg. on a mug. I opened the same file in PS and AP. You can see clearly the distortion of lines in AP which is on the left in the picture. You will also notice the different handling of the background. But it is a good start and I am sure the Affinity Team will work on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmar Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 If you check out the actual smart object "effec"t, you'll notice that it's a warped object, and currently AF Photo doesn't support complex warps. As it's "only" a mathematical calculation and some sort of support to transfer this onto the warp, I guess it's only a matter of time until more complex warps are supported.
