PSD Smart Objects on Yellow Images


Recommended Posts

I've encountered a problem when using the free downloads in Yellow Images to practise with Affinity Photo.

.tif files preserve the Smart Objects correctly - these are labelled as "embedded documents" in affinity when opened. These can be edited in affinity and work quite well.

.psd files don't translate Smart Objects and the ability to edit the layers/smart objects is lost - layers aren't smart.

Am I doing something wrong? (Smart layer conversion  turned on)

Hi 10on12,
If you have smart layer conversion turned on (Affinity Preferences, General section, Import PSD smart objects where possible) it's possible the PSD uses some feature we don't support yet.
Without seeing the file i can't tell you what's going on. Any chance you can share it? I can provide an upload link if you wish to keep the file private.

I am surprised that .tif files created by anything other than Affinity would have Layers that Affinity can interpret.
