evtonic3 Posted December 20, 2023 Posted December 20, 2023 Just saw this in my email, is Adobe finally letting go of their tight grip of their file format and sharing the goods? Quote

I highly doubt it. Most likely Pixelmator Pro has reversed engineered Adobe's proprietary file format(s). Reverse engineering requires a lot of time and money and cannot be 100% guaranteed to be compatible.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

I recommend changing to at least "AI file support".

firstdefence Posted December 20, 2023 Posted December 20, 2023 The blurb from Pixelmators Apple page... Quote Support for AI and Illustrator EPS Files • With support for AI file format, you can now open documents created using Adobe Illustrator and other compatible apps. • Open AI documents with original layers, shapes, text, and layer groups. • Thanks to full metadata support, AI documents keep their original layer names, color tags, and hidden layers which are often lost in other apps that open only embedded PDF previews in AI files. And, you can even open AI documents saved without PDF previews. • Support for Illustrator EPS also lets you open designs in this very popular Adobe Illustrator file format, which is no longer natively supported on macOS 14. • Batch-convert AI and Illustrator EPS to other file formats with support for the Convert Image/Video action in Shortcuts.

It's less work to keep up with the changes once compatible to whatever degree it really is. Harder, but not much difference to figuring what needs to be to make .idml compatible as it changes for APub. walt.farrell 1 Quote
