Did you create all the document content, or was some of it imported from another document?

As wonderings says, if you can provide a sample that would be good.

I create the text content direct in Affinty. This problem i dont have during my Gimp time. Then i moved to Photoshop and here was the same problem.

This was one reason , beside the coast to start my time with Affinty 3 Weeks before

Text is definitely not editable as far as I can see. When you create your text what are you doing next?

I did my own test made a blank document, typed in text, saved it as a default photo file. Closed Photo, reopened with the saved test file and my text was still editable. If you can lay out your steps one by one I am sure we can find where this is going wrong.

I am asking what you do, from start to finish.

I open a new document > type my text > save my job. Open saved job, select text>edit text. 

Layer is not labeled  (Pixel)

When you make your document, and type your text, what are you doing next? Are you right clicking on the text layer and selecting something there?

I do it in the way you show before.

Yes, sometime i choose a layer with right clicking. But only for copy and paste the layer. Sometime build a group. Not more and no rastering

Can you do this:

  1. File > New to create a new document.
  2. File > Save History with Document
  3. Create your text layer, and do whatever else you normally do.
  4. File > Save to create a new .afphoto file
  5. Upload that file here for us to look at.

Thanks. I just downloaded "test 2" and the text is perfectly fine in it?

Is it still OK for you if you load that file again?

Sorry; I have no more ideas at this point.

If I understand you correctly, though, you have had this problem with both Affinity Photo and Photoshop. That should mean that there is something you do later, in both applications, that causes the problem. I think you need to find what that is.

If this happened to you again (text rasterization), it would be good to look at the history of when (during which operation) it happened.

Do you use an Assistant? It will automatically rasterize during some operations. The message pops up for a while, but the user may not even notice. Unwanted rasterization is the main reason why I have the Assistant turned off.

Hi, that sound good. Sofar i remember, sometime comes a small popup with rendering. But i think this is a notice only fo the active pixellayer. But i think it is possible that the hole document rastered.

I looking for the option to turn off the automatical rastering. Wher can i find this?

Exactly for these cases of undesirable and overlooked rasterizations, the possibility of inquiry/confirmation before its execution would be useful.
