chochi Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I'm trying to open a file that I worked on in photoshop recently, I just made the switch to affinity photo. There is an error message that shows up saying that there are unknown properties. Is there anyway I can fix this instead having to pay for Photoshop again? I have the .psd file attached so you can open it on your end. Olivia.psd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 When you press "Okay" and the file opened in Affinity: Do you miss any appearance of a "gradient fill"? As far I know Affinity doesn't have an Effect (fx) for Gradient Fill – but as Gradient Overlay only, which appears not to be set / used in this file for the two layers which have layer effects activated.

chochi Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 It is definitely missing. It's a reddish color rather than being a more greenish color. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I don't see "GradientFill" in your file, maybe it is set in one of the text layers which have a few settings for the text – but they wouldn't affect the colour of the whole image. It seems that this colour shift is related to the "Colour Balance 1" layer which appears to affect the two apps differently, though with same setting. Compare below the difference in both applications when this adjustment layer is shown or hidden. (with other layers hidden to narrow down the "culprit").

You can also try out that PSD file behavior with Photopea then.

I tried it out and it shows the files, but not the actually artboard, if that's the correct term. Thank you for the suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
