DGee Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 If I open a PSD in Designer containing optically kerned text in Photoshop the text looks totally messed up in Designer. I was exploring this as an option to deal with Designer’s lack of optical kerning which btw drives me insane. There’s also another issue here: either the guides I set in Photoshop don’t match those in Designer or the text changes in size in Designer. I used guides for each character in photoshop to use them as a reference and be able to track changes in the psd in Designer. However no matter how I adjust the characters in Designer there is always a slight deviation from the guides I brought in from PS. Meaning no matter how I readjust the kerning to match the guides in Designer, the characters won’t perfectly fit within the guides i set in PS. Quote

Did you try setting the PSD options in Affinity Photo preferences which is the app most similar to Photoshop. Affinity Designer is a replacement for Adobe Illustrator not Photoshop.

Dan C Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 Hi @DGee, Thanks for your report! As Paul mentions above, please ensure you have enabled the PSD import options under Affinity Designer 2 > Preferences > General - If you're still having trouble after enabling these options, are you able to attach a copy of this .PSD file here for me? Many thanks in advance Quote
