dpc Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hi! I was trying to export a photo file from Affinity Photo 1.5 as a PSD to process further in Adobe Lightroom using File>Export. I downloaded the file onto my desktop (27" iMac running osSierra). It appeared there. I loaded it into Lightroom 5.7.1. When I did so the following message appeared on the image icon: "Preview unavailable for this file". I double clicked on it to see what would happen and the following message appeared: "Could not read file." This only happens when trying to export as a PSD. What settings should be used when preparing the PSD file (Preset; Resample; Area)? I have a feeling that I did something inadvertantly to gum things up. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I'll greatly appreciate it. Have a great day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted June 29, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hi dpc, Welcome to the forum. I can't seem to reproduce this using Lightroom (2015.10.1) when exporting to .PSD I used the default options. Which options did you select and what kind adjustments did the PSD file contain.

dpc Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hi! Thanks for answering. I tried to export a PSD again this morning and the same thing happened. The "Preview unavailable for this file" notification popped up when I opened my Lightroom folder. I decided to press the import button anyway to see what would happen. The following popup appeared: "The file uses an unsupported bit depth. (1)". I'm guessing that somehow when playing around with settings yesterday I must have adjusted the PSD bit depth in a way that Lightroom doesn't like. How do I get back to default settings? What should the bit depth of a PSD file be? How do I adjust it back to where it normally should be. I'm sure there's no issue with either Affinity Photo or Lightroom as far as this issue is concerned because I was able to import Affinity PSD files into Lightroom prior to yesterday without issue. Thanks for helping out. I do like AF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
