Fill Layer lose alpha when exported to psd

[Arini R]

Hi there,

I want to export layered .afphoto files that has Fill Layer with alpha (by adding a new fill layer with selection on) to .psd but I found out that when I open it as .psd, the alpha channel from the Fill Layer is not translated. I attached a test file to demonstrate what I meant. Both preserve editability or accuracy is giving the same results. The .psd has the fill layer but the alpha is gone.

Is this a bug? Is there any workaround to make the alpha also translated to the fill layer?

Looks like it is, the fill layer is being expanded to fill the entire canvas - not what you want or expect

Rasterise the fill layer before exporting

thank you for responding @carl123!

I don't want to rasterize it because I need it to be editable in .psd format.

 After experimenting, I found a workaround. I have to create mask from the alpha channel and then mask it to the layer. Then it will be translated as a fill layer with alpha in the .psd format.
