seabreeze Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Wondering if I will be able to use these mockups by Photific inside Affinity Designer? Here's the main page, which says that the mockups are Photoshop files, delivered as PDF ... https://creativemarket.com/Photific/400296-STOREFRONT-Apparel-Mockups-Bundle And this screenshot talks about "3D design mapping" and "proprietary layer processing" ... https://creativemarket.com/Photific/400296-STOREFRONT-Apparel-Mockups-Bundle/screenshots/#screenshot3 Hoping someone can advise me, from looking at those two links. Many thanks! Sheila Quote http://instagram.com/ohyesdesigns
seabreeze Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Here's a response I got from Photific: As of now Photoshop is the only officially supported platform. It's possible you could get Affinity to work, although these templates have some advanced features that trip up some other designers. Specifically: displacement maps and nested layers with group layer can cause compatibility issues. There are nested layers within a Group that has a layer mask. If affinity can handle that you'd probably be okay :)Anyone have some thoughts on this? Thanks! Quote http://instagram.com/ohyesdesigns
Staff Leigh Posted June 21, 2016 Staff Posted June 21, 2016 Welcome to the forum seabreeze :) I can see from the description that these files use Smart Objects. Our apps will open PSD files that contain Smart Objects but they will be automatically rasterised. This will most probably cause issues when trying to make changes to the PSD file. Without seeing a sample file it's hard to say if they will work fine in our apps, sorry. TinPianoMan 1 Quote
TinPianoMan Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Sent you a PM, Leigh. I'm interested in this too, though I suspect it may be a stretch too far for AP. Quote

I would suggest that you download our 10 day trial and see if your document opens as expected. The apps have changed quite a bit since 2016 👍 The trial can be downloaded from the bottom of this page here: https://affinity.serif.com/designer/ Quote
j.king Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 This may not help much, but... sometimes mock-up PSD files work great and sometimes they don't. I don't believe any of them work in Affinity Designer, you have to use Affinity Photo. Make sure "Import PSD Smart Objects where possible" option is checked in General Preferences. Quote

It’s never been purely about exchange rates. Apple’s pricing matrix reflects the cost of doing business in various countries around the world, and this obviously varies over time. Even in the Eurozone, where the current Tier 51 price of US$54.99 translates to 59,99 €, the proceeds paid to the software companies ranges from as little as 33,87 € in Finland and Greece to as much as 35,89 € in Luxembourg.

AFAIK, Apple updated their underlaying price matrix due to currency conversions a few weeks ago, so we updated our prices: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=o0uodgu Hope that helps! Quote
