Staff MEB Posted January 23, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi Evernote, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) This depends a lot on the type/format of files being provided. You shouldn't have problems with fonts, PSD, Ai, SVG files and most generic formats (PNG, JPG, TIFF). There's however some limitations in a few formats: for example currently Affinity Designer/Photo doesn't support Photoshop Smart Objects, so any file that relies on them will not take advantage of the, (smart objects as rasterised when imported in Designer/Photo). Ai files must contain a PDF stream to be imported in Affinity Designer/Photo (and on other apps except Illustrator). You should have issues with SVG's unless they use effects/filters. If you tell us which files you are trying to work with we may be able to give you a more detailed reply.

Evernote Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hi, thx for the answears, its an -psd - file - how can i use them in Affinity Designer? Or is that not available / possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 24, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hi Evernote, Yes, it's possible. Go to menu File ▸ Open and select the PSD to open it. Note that not all PSD file format features are supported in Affinity Designer/Photo, like smart objects for example (which are rasterised on import).
