DGee Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I'm trying to leave the Adobe ship but it's a very difficult task. I can get over the many features missing in Affinity but the fact that PSD mockups open broken or look different in Affinity is a deal breaker. Hopefully I'm missing something and that´s the reason for this post... BTW I have the import PSD smart objects option checked in preferences. The main issues I'm encountering are: 1. In many cases layer masks won't import and I have to manually mask those in Affinity Photo 2. Gradient Fills won't translate even if those are not mesh gradients 3. Sometimes layer styles won't translate accurately. Even if I uncheck the import psd smart objects there are clear visible differences. This a serious problem. Every mockup out there is made for Photoshop so if Affinity apps cannot properly open and render PSDs , they are not usable as a replacement for Photoshop in any professional workflow. This is a problem that has not been solved since Affinity Suite came out and to this day it has not been fixed, while there are free apps like Photopea.com that are able to open any PSD file and render it without issues... it's frustrating...

Staff NathanC Posted April 9 Staff Share Posted April 9 Hi @DGee, The Unknown property errors are normally the result of a lack of feature parity between the apps on FX layers resulting in mapping issues which can also include gradient fills, improved support has been requested before such as the thread below and is hopefully something we'll see in later versions. As for the masking issue, could we take a look at the .PSD file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I'm, not sure I could do that because it's a psd mockup that I don't own the rights to. but here is the link to the file https://mockups-design.com/free-hoodie-mockup/ walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Re the hoodie mockup, I can't see anything wrong with it at all in Affinity Designer, it works just as if it's in Photoshop, Layer structure is the same too. In Affinity Photo you have to nest the colours to get the same effect. Forgot to do the hoodie design too, nest that.

It should not need any work otherwise there is a problem. As I said before, Photopea, which is a free online editing tool is able to read the psd and render it as it should.

DGee Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Maybe Canva should also buy Photopea 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff NathanC Posted April 15 Staff Share Posted April 15 Thanks @DGee, Looks like there is a bug with the .PSD clipping mask import with smart objects, we do have this logged with the developers so i'll bump it with your report.
