Publisher: Edit linked PSD in Photoshop

[photoshop1.0]

When I right click on a *linked* PSD in Publisher, the resulting menu does not enable me to open that PSD in Photoshop. I have hunted around Publisher, and the Serif forum, to see if this can be done via right-clicking or any other method, but I cannot find it.

InDesign has this very essential right-click workflow. Does it exist in Publisher? Or, do we have to go through this 4 step process each time:

1. Click the linked image.

2. Go to Document > Resource Manager (the linked image is highlighted)

3. Click "Show in finder".

4. Double click PSD in finder to then edit the image in Photoshop.

There is no way in the Affinity applications to edit linked files in another non-Affinity application.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll put in a feature request, because this is a very necessary feature.

InDesign has this link because it's unable to directly edit PSD files.

Publisher hasn't got that limitation because it can edit PSD files directly through Photo Persona. You need to own Affinity Photo for that to work.

But you can most certainly put in a feature request.

Thanks, that makes sense. And, I do find the Persona model intriguing (I enjoy new ideas).

However, because Photoshop is still a powerhouse app (with reasonable pricing, considering all the extra apps and features that one gets under the "Photography Plan"), I think it is not going away any time soon. For this reason, I will avoid the learning curve associated with a new photo app, and instead try to replace InDesign and Illustrator (it's really just a matter of whether Affinity can get all the "little things" baked in, like the aforementioned right-click menu item).

Any news about that feature to open a edit a psd file in Photoshop or other App.? Procreate maybe for example or Corel Painter.
