Dennis13 Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 I have the Adobe suite at the office. I need to work from home sometimes. I discontinued my Adobe subscription at home -too expensive. Will my Affinity Photo - created files be openable and editable in Photoshop? Can I work back and forth between the two applications? I had the trial version of Affinity Designer for a week. When I opened the files in Adobe Illustrator I remember them being not quite the same. Will this happen between Affinity Photo and Adobe Photoshop? Quote
firstdefence Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Try using PDF, I would say it’s probably the best transferable file type between Adobe and Affinity and visa versa.

walt.farrell Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 There are features that Photoshop has that Affinity doesn't have. And while Affinity can open PSD files, and can export to PSD format, some things won't export in an editable format. For example, when exporting to PSD any text will be rasterized, and non-editable.

Afromalone Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 I recently purchased Affinity Photo. PSD files made in Affinity Photo definitely work in Photoshop but the text files definitely don't. The only solution I've found is to use Affinity Photo to export a .PDF version of the file your working on then visit photopea.com and use the 'file save as .PSD' option on the PDF file from Affinity Photo. The resulting file will open in Photoshop with all layers editable. Really annoying and has stopped me from being able to completely leave Photoshop. Hope this helps though. Quote
