Affinity Photo Linear Burn blend mode not exporting to PSD


Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I'm exporting a project with some layers in Linear Burn blend mode to PSD.

When I open the PSD, all Linear Burn layers are in Normal blend mode.

This also happens with the following blend modes:

This ruins the project completely.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a known bug or limitation?

Thank you in advance.

In Photoshop?

I don't have Photoshop but I opened a PSD in Photopea and everything was fine but...
...i had to replace the fill layer with a layer effect (Color Overlay/Linerar Burn).

Obrigado pela ajuda Lisbon.

Here's an use case:

1. create a new .afphoto file

2. add a layer and set it to Linear Burn

3. export it as PSD

4. open the PSD in AP or Photopea (same result)

5. check if the blending mode changed to Normal or if it's still Linear Burn

If I try this, the layer blending mode has changed to Normal. This also happens with any of those blending modes in my original post.

I'm not sure if this is a bug only happening on my machine or if it happens to every one. So if you can try these 5 steps and report back I would appreciate it.

FWIW, it happens to me when reopening the export in AP on my Mac.

Is there any way to download a previous version so I can try to properly export to PSD?

You're able to download previous versions of Affinity from here - https://store.serif.com/update/windows/photo/1/

However I have checked this issue going back to version 1.8.5 (released in August 2020) and the same bug is present, so I don't believe reverting to an old version will change this behaviour for you currently, my apologies.

EDIT -  I've been informed by our team internally that Linear Burn should be retained when exporting, however the other blend modes you've listed here aren't supported by Photoshop and therefore are converted when exporting.

At this time, the bug report with our developers is to fix Linear Burn not being retained when exporting to PSD. I hope this clears things up :)
