File psd is messy in Affinity Photo


Recommended Posts

Hi @rixboy and welcome to the forums,

This looks like a masking issue... are you able to upload the psd file so we can take a look?

@rixboy, this appears to be a bug specific to v1.10, as in it opens correctly it v1.7.3, v2.0.4 and the current beta v2.1.0.1742.

In v1.10 a series of live perspective filters have been added which don't appear when the file is opened in any other versions so it looks like a bug which I don't believe will be fixed now we've moved on to v2 of the software...

Uncheck Import PSD Smart Objects Where Possible in the General preferences and the file will open correctly.

You can equally open the file with Import PSD Smart Objects Where Possible enabled and make a few simple tweaks while maintaining editability. Affinity Photo hasn't translated Photoshop's smart objects accurately but it's reasonably easy to fix...
