Hello,

first of all greetings to everybody.

I am new to this forum, tried the Beta version of Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer and just purchased both apps.

I work with Adobe Photoshop over 25 years.

 

I searched the forum but cannot find an answer.

When i open a psd file, where in Affinity Photo can i find my Photoshop path?

Hello MEB,

thanks for your reply. I have about 30000 psd files with paths. I know that i can convert a path to a shape layer in Photoshop, but therefore i have to go on with the Adobe Cloud as Photoshop is necessary. In my opinion this is a feature which prevents many Photoshop users switching to Affinity Photo.

The application is still relatively recent. It already does a good job with several PSD format's features but this one wasn't implemented yet. 

We are continuously improving import/export formats and hopefully PSD will get better too but as you may guess it's not possible to ensure 100% compatibility.

This is already logged to be looked at.

Just to add to what MEB said - we have been clear that we never intend to replace Photoshop for people that require it in an Adobe tool chain.  There are going to be some PSD features that we may not support, or are not a priority.  PSD is a beast, and is only getting more bloated as time goes on.  I don't see this slowing down as Adobe try to shoe-horn in more features.

We also only import and export features to PSD when we have an appropriate equivalent in Affinity.  The PSD export process in particular is complicated by the need to support indirect features.

 

If you need Photoshop - you need Photoshop.

 

If you need the best new creative app on the market - you need Affinity.   ;)

Hello, my problem is similar but in the other direction: I have created a path into affinity, but when the file is opened in Photoshop path is not present (.tif file). I have to give this material to a person who uses photoshop but I does not see it. I have to do some special affinity export setup to make it visible?

 

thank you
