Affinity Designer: Export to PSD


Recommended Posts

Hi to all.

The conversion to PSD of an AFDESIGN file containing an effect, for example 3D, is particularly long (10 to 30 minutes), especially if the dimensions are large, in this case 11,000 pixels in 400 DPI, making this conversion impossible.

The result produced is of poorer quality with a text converted into an image, therefore pixelated.

 

Afinity Designer Bêta 1.9.0.852.

32.afdesign

6 cœurs, 12 processus - Windows 11 pro - 4K - DirectX 12 - Suite universelle Affinity (Affinity  Publisher, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo).

Mais je vous le demande, peut-on imaginer une police sans sérifs ?

Text is always rasterized when exporting from Affinity in PSD format.

Hi Pyanepsion
Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce the export time - it exported in about a minute for me. What export settings are you using?

As Walt says, text is always rasterised when being exported to PSD - this is currently by design.

Yes, but this is a pity, because the function loses much of its interest.

Here are the settings used. I left them by default in PSD.

It was the wrong file.

Try again with this one.

Please note that it is the PSD export with the filter (3D effect?) that slows down since if you save the file in AFDESIGN format, the saving is done in a much shorter time.

Yes and no.

  • Possibly yes if we are sure that the file will only be used for export.
  • No here, because these are the French images of a book created with Affinity Publisher which will be published in a foreign language (English) in May.

Editions Hachette wants to have these francized images in PSD for an upcoming French version to be published in April.

The problem appears to be with the large orange rectangle which has a 3D FX applied

More specifically that FX has a profile applied to it

If you click on the Remove Profile button then exporting takes just over a minute
