cey Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 hey guys! I am using tayasui sketches on my iPad, it is a simple sketches app with nice brushes and layers. luckily the app can export the drawings as psd-files. I have used this option for additional editing on photoshop afterwards. through my path of switching to affinity I first didn't recognised it, but the psd-files exported with tayasui sketches are not openable on affinity. I get an error that the filetype isn't supported yet. My solution for this problem was since to open and save the psd-file first with photoshop and THEN open it with affinity again which worked always without mistakes. Now that I don't have an adobe subscription anymore this is a big problem. I've attached a file as an example. the file isn't really big and the layers are simple pixel layer without effects or stuff like that. I can't think of a thing that might be a problem. unfortunately I can't set up anything while exporting with tayasui sketches, it is just an export button. (in the future it may be a better workflow if I would use affinity photo for my sketches but at this moment I have to stick with tayasui.) can somebody think of a solution? is there anything I am doing wrong? is it a bug? I am using: Macbook Air M1, macOS ventura 13.4 and Affinity Photo 2.1.1. Innenpers neu.psd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hi @cey and welcome to the forum. I was able to open the file with IrfanView, but the layers are merged and the file can only be transferred to another format this way. Unfortunately there is no Mac version. But you can use XnViewMP (xnview.com) Quote MAC mini M4 | MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1 | 16 GB RAM | 256 GB SSD AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | INTEL Arc A770 LE 16 GB | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.2161) Affinity Suite V 2.5.6 & Beta 2.6 (latest) Interested in a free (selfhosted) PDF Solution?

walt.farrell Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Photopea.com opens that file successfully, with layers intact. Possibly saving it from there would work.

Is there a forum for "tayasui sketches" users? This could be a bug with their export routines. The Photoshop file format is quite complex.

cey Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Thank you all for the alternative options and the tayasui forum suggestion! I will have a look at all of these. Everything is better than exporting every layer as a png-file and combining them one by one with affinity photo 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
