Juan T Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 What is the current level of support of Affinity for PSD? Quote
Joachim_L Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 AP opens them, text layers are preserved, smart objects also (not 100%), hidden effects in a PSD will be discarded, cutting paths (do not know the translation) have to be converted to vector masks. Maybe someone else wants to jump in with more information?

Juan T Posted April 10, 2020 Author Posted April 10, 2020 I'm asking about full compatibility status @walt.farrell. What is missing about smart objects @Joachim_L? Quote
walt.farrell Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 It certainly does not have full compatibility, and there is probably no comprehensive list of everything that isn't supported. Editable text, when saving or exporting, is one important one. If you want full compatibility because you're planning to exchange PSD documents with Adobe users you should probably use Photoshop.

Joachim_L Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Smart object support is quite new so there can be some issues. From my experience this feature works well. Maybe some PSD experts like to join the discussion? Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed
