Staff MEB Posted June 3, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hi roh821z, Have you double-clicked the embedded document layer's thumbnail (NOT the perspective filter thumbnail)? It should open the embedded document as well. Same if you double-click it on canvas. Without seeing the file i can't say why it's not working for you. Do you mind uploading it for us to check out? I can provide an upload link if you wish to keep the file private. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roh821z Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I got it to work this time, guess I made a mistake last time haha. Thanks so much for helping me with this!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirti.k.purohit@gmail.com Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hello to the Forum and MEB, Thanks for the update. A long time user of Designer and I've just bought Photo on the news that Smart Objects could be supported (couldn't trial it due to doing this previously). Slightly disappointed as my tests so far with mockup templates have all failed to fully work. Photo does indeed now import the file and it does work to an extent but falls short of the desired affect. If I could point your attention to this freely available example: https://graphicburger.com/plastic-pouch-packaging-mockup/ Am I missing something - is there an additional step I can take to get this working? Is there functionality to tinker with the smart object settings within Photo to reach the desired output? Look forward to your feedback with the above example in mind. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Because Affinity doesn't have an equivalent feature to "Puppet warp" which is nondestructive effect yet. Mesh Warp is close one but it's destructive effect.

Overall really pleased about Affinity Photo and this update. I'm going to stick with it and play to its merits. ashf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeyJay Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Me too! I've been trying this for days and was about to give up and re-install CS6 just for this one function, but now, thanks to MEB, it works perfectly. Just loving this suite more and more! Many, many thanks you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeyJay Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Goddamit! It looks like it works but it doesn't. The replaced area (in my case a label on a bottle) doesn't respect the bend of the bottle when examined closely - it's just placed as a rectangular area and doesn't 'bend' like a real label would in 3D. Please fix this. Have to go back to the dark side for this now... 😟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to one of the next releases. Until then you and everybody else may want to try Photopea.com. Cheers, Helmar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayman Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 upvote this! I'm having more and more client send me bloated PSD files. When I bring them into Affinity Photo it rasterized the layers causing me to have to use Photoshop, which I hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komatös Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 4 hours ago, playwell said: "Unfortunately, Affinity Designer may not fully support editing Photoshop Smart Objects, including text adjustments. Consider recreating or converting the Smart Objects to editable layers within Affinity Designer for better compatibility." Since the Adobe file formats are not sufficiently documented, especially the proprietary data area, third-party providers can only offer limited compatibility. Adobe will continue to exploit this supremacy to maintain its monopoly position. For Adopay, you self-employed people and small businesses are just by-catch, like deep-sea fishing.
