.PSD to Affinity Photo - Smart Object translation?

[erickp]

When opening an existing .PSD into AP, I notice that the "smart objects" get converted to "Pixels" i'm assuming.  In the original .PSD within PS, some of my Smart Objects are connected to Vector Objects and another can be a layered .PSD file. Is there a way to reconnect these files when opened within AP?  I want to use Affinity Photo but I make heavy use of Smart Objects with in Photoshop and if I can find a somewhat simple way to convert these over, it going to be difficult to transition. With that said, I think you've all done an amazing job with it and really do want to switch but as a professional with a business i can't sacrifice too much time in a transition. Thank you.

We currently don't handle smart objects.

 

It's on the list of improvements we hope to make.  It's dependant on us having a comparable feature into which we can import smart objects.

Thank you for the reply.   Make sense.   Hope you guys figure that one out because it's HUGE. Probably one of the biggest things stopping me from completely switching over.  Will keep an eye out.

We know.  There's a few structural things we need to resolve in the way smart objects would need to be handled. The main issue we have when adding any PSD compatible feature is that it fits with our plans - and that we are not just replicating what PSD does.
