[Yulya]

Hi @Yulya,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Do you mind uploading/sharing the psd file you exported using this link for us to check out what's going on please? Thank you.

The fact is that my friend was able to open this psd file on her iPad, but I can't. And other psd files do not open.

Do you have Adobe Fresco installed in your iPad? It usually cause the issue you are referring to.

Yes, indeed! There is such a program on my iPad. Thank you very much, you helped a lot!:)Sorry, there was another question-why does this program give such a picture?

Hi @Yulya,
I'm not sure i understood you question. Can you rephrase it please?
If you want to know why Adobe Fresco is blocking access to the file (it appears greyed out on the iPad), we are not sure yet. This issue is logged to be reviewed/checked by the development team.

Thank you, you answered my question 🙏

Dealing with same issue. Psd files grayed out and yes I have Fresco installed. Interestingly the very same psd files CAN be opened in Procreate (even with fresco).
Please fix this ASAP.
