PSD export breaks masks.


Recommended Posts

I'm hoping I'm not repeating anything here that has been covered. I've run into another embarrassing issue trying to use Affinity Photo for my client work. On recent project I had to send my client a .PSD of a pretty complicated composite with lots of layers containing masks, and adjustment layers containing masks. Not expecting any issues I sent him the .psd export and got back an email with him freaking out that there are a bunch of blank pixel layers and no masks associated with my layers. I can't provide a file (NDA). The job had to be completed by the client's Photoshop person, so that leaves me with lots of time to figure out how not to lose more money. I'm running 1.9.2.1035, and I've tried exports using both "preserve editability" and "preserve accuracy". Any ideas?

Since the PSD format is not fully documented by Adobe, it is difficult or impossible for other companies to create 100% compatible files. So there are also PSD files that cannot be loaded error-free in Affinity Photo.

I understand that going from Photoshop to Affinity would be a problem with all the layer types Affinity Photo doesn't have. I can't seem to reproduce the issue for Gabe, so maybe it went away by way of magic.
