Oval Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Apps like PhotoLine, PS, InDesign, GraphicConverter, … handle this. A must. And the Curves in PSDs? Ignored? Not on the Common Feature Requests INDEX yet? It is not a problem to program. Give us hope, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ben Posted July 21, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 21, 2015 Can you please keep your threads in one place - it takes us time to read every thread, so repeating things is just making more work for us. You've also added this under Bugs. Please read there for my response.

You've also added this under Bugs. Please read there for my response. No, Ben, under Bugs, psd files are asked, here: jpgs. We do not know both: Are that bugs or are clipping paths a missing feature for importing from jpgs (and psds)? Why does it work a long time in other apps like PhotoLine, but not in APh? What are the plans, please? An answer would help to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ben Posted July 21, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 21, 2015 No - your first line says, "And the Curves in PSDs? Ignored?" Same as your post in bugs. And you keep copying and pasting identical lines of text in multiple postings. It makes following all your thoughts very difficult. In this case I had to read the subject line of this post to understand what your bug post meant. To be clear - we do not yet import/export clipping paths from JPEGs. We do not import clipping paths from PSDs - they do not contribute to the image in Photoshop, which is what we replicate when we import. Until we have a plan as to how we handle clipping paths that only affect exported images, then we will not handle them. We have no way of creating them in Affinity as yet.

Oval Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Sorry, we are four and Andrea did not told us, what she had already posted. So sorry, we will fix that. It is very often used for a long time in layout apps to knock out the background of a photo e.g. When we would need to change the file format (jpg), it would be a huge problem for all assets in databases. You wrote “not yet”. Will the import (of those hidden) paths together with the pixel data be a feature in future? Wosven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ben Posted July 21, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 21, 2015 It means, we don't do it now, but as with all reasonable feature requests it will get added to the road map if the feature is required by enough people and it fits with how we do things in Affinity. If added to the road map it will then get done based on priorities of all tasks in the road map, and other factors.

silvioch Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 It's really a pity that clipping paths are still not supported. This is a very basic feature. My plan was to switch to Affinity Photo, I bought it already last year, to support this great company. Unfortunately I need to renew now my Photoshop / Indesign subscription again.

Staff MEB Posted November 9, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hi silvioch, Welcome to Affinity Forums This is already possible in Affinity Designer/Photo. When exporting to JPG click the More button and make sure Convert clips to paths is ticked. The clipping path will then appear in the Paths panel in Photoshop. To use a clipping path in Affinity Designer/Photo just drag a filled shape over the thumbnail of the image layer in the layers panel.
