Create smart objection problem?

[surfbug]

Spoiler

I am learning to use Affinity photo software but I don't find the convert smart objection in the menu or click on it beside the layer but I don't see any create smart objection either. Can anybody help me, please?

Affinity doesn't create PS like smart objects, instead it partly can load/reuse PS files with smart objects inside. - In Affinity itself you would emulate sort of smart objects handling by making/creating embedded files with image objects & portions.

See for example for loading/reusing PS smart objects ...

• Affinity Photo - Mock-Up's with Smart Objects

• Xmas Mug mockup

• Affinity Photo: How Can I Create a Smart Object?

• Smart objects and mockups like in Adobe CC

• ... etc.

I cannot create Smart-Objects in Affinity Photo. I would create the ps element smart objection and I export the image to Affinity. Is it correct?

If you need exactly a PS smart object type yes. But if you just want a similar behavior like those completely Affinity related, then use file enbedding.
