Abdushakur Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 So I am using a PSD file with textures. I have opened other PSD files 90% of the time without any problems but this one gives me an error pop up. Can anyone explain what this means and if there is a fix?

firstdefence Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 In all likelihood it's because a gradient mesh has been used from Photoshop and Affinity doesn't know what a gradient mesh is so Affinity throws an error message warning you. As far as I am aware this cannot be fixed until Affinity understands what a gradient mesh is. See this post for more details.

veeper Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Affinity please fix. Even Photopea can do it so I doubt this feature is locked behind Adobe paywall as you suggested in the linked thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serif have never suggested that, as far as I know. Some users have suggested it, as in that linked thread, but not Serif staff. Serif have generally pointed out that PSD is a proprietary and (in many areas) an undocumented format, which is true. Anyone trying to support those functions needs to invest the time to reverse-engineer the file format, and risks making mistakes doing that, and then having to keep reacting to further changes in that area.
