micky-a-55 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I'm currently using a trial version to see if a certain operation is possible. The operation is whether the photoshop mockup file can be used with Affenity Photo. I will buy it if it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some effects and features from photoshop can't get rendered correctly in Affinity Photo. If there are just basic effects and perspective distortion, most mockups work. Whereas i. e. Photoshop's (mesh) warping causes issues most of the time. Quote »A designer's job is to improve the general quality of life.

micky-a-55 Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Dear Andy05, Thank you for your advice. I just recently downloaded the trial version. I can work with Mockup files in Photoshop, but Affinity Photo doesn't understand how to do it yet. From which menu bar should I pull the operation to handle the mockup file? I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy05 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 That depends on the mockup, it's not a problem with the Affinity apps. Typically, the creators of the mockup include some layers with names like "Your design here" or similar. You'd have to double click onto that layer icon in order to place your own motive.

v_kyr Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Affinity deals with those usually as embedded files, so some layer parts can be independently altered in contrast to others. - For a plain to Affinity adpted/converted example see here.

Then you may have a mockup (PSD) file that uses functions not supported by Affinity. Note that the preference does say, "where possible", so you may have one of the cases where it's not possible.

As Walt already stated, Affinity can't render all effects, styles and features in Adobe's files. I. e. free warping/distortion is such a candidate, which Affinity fail to render unless it's a really simple perspective distortion. In your case, I am pretty sure, the parts messing up with the bottle mockup are warped in a way that Affinity can't correctly transfer them.
