jeffers Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I downloaded some greeting card templates in PSD (photoshop).format to a new folder on my PC. When I added this folder in the presets and templates and selected the folder no templates showed. So I opened each template as .PSD in APhoto no problem then saved as AFphoto extension to a folder. But the same thing happens. Does this mean A photo doesn't show a preview of the template and you have to open the folder in windows explorer then open each one in the main window to get a preview?

Old Bruce Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Essentially: Affinity reads Affinity files, Adobe reads Adobe files. So a Photoshop file is not an Affinity template file.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffers Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Understood. But does not saving as a new and seperate affinity file now make it an Affinity template file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Once you have saved the file you have to export it as an Affinity Photo Template file by going to File > Export as Template... You may be able to skip the saving (as an Affinity file) step, it depends on what the Photoshop file has in it that is unique to Adobe, and just open the file and export.

The "Save As" dialog allows either extension, though it defaults to .afphoto.
