Lianne Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi, sorry, another newbie question. I want to make a box set book cover, and the easiest way to do it is to buy a template from this guy http://bookboxedset.com/how-to-use/ (I've seen the finished ones in the writer's forums - and they're awesome). He does say they only work on photoshop, not GIMP. Can I import a smart object layer template into AP? And can I make it work in the same way as the tutorial? If I can't, would I be able to design something similar without taking too much time? Or where would I advertise to commission one with the instructions?

Staff Callum Posted September 21, 2015 Staff Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi Lianne, Affinity Designer doesn't support importing Smart Objects they get converted to pixel layers on import. This means that you wouldn't be able to get the template working like it does in the tutorial, you could design something similar by hand but that would depend on your skill level with the app. You may also be able to commission someone to design this but I'm not sure where you would advertise for this. I hope this helps :) C Lianne 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lianne Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thanks, Callum. I thought it might be like that :( I definitely don't have the skill to design a similar image. No, I'll have to keep paying for the individual box sets. At least I can do my own single title covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
