PSD Font Export (on editing an existing PSD)

[Gernot]

Heya,

 

My workflow.

 

Receiving PSD (texts and fonts included)

Edit with affinity (text and font editing)

Export PSD

 

The exported PSD does automatically convert editable text fonts to "pixel", which cannot be edited after psd export neither by photoshop, pixelmator, nor by affinity native.

 

two questions

- When is the psd font export feature on the roadmap?

- GIMP does not import any psd file created by affinity. (compression incorrect), why?

 

thank you!

Hi Gernot,

 

Welcome to the forums :)

 

The ability to export PSD files with fonts isn't something that is on the roadmap but it is a feature our developers are looking to improve. I have tested your issue with opening a .PSD file in GIMP and it does appear to be a bug. I have logged this with our development team to see if they can resolve the issue. Thanks for reporting this to us :)

Hello Callum,

 

PSD files with fonts (vector based export) is somehow for us very important to ensure a smooth workflow with others that do not yet have affinity.

We love affinity for its easyness to use and for its outstanding performance.

though we encourage everyone to use affinity, yet a few people still use PSD files.

 

thanx for looking into the import on the other program.
