Affinity Designer PSD Editable Text Export

[upendra169]

Hello, Affinity Designer is great app for designing but also great for Website and App Mockup but why I can't export PSD as editable text this is a really important feature for only this function I need to go back to PS every time I do Website or App Mockup because 90% of my clients want Mockup in PSD with editable text if this feature is not available please implement this as soon as possible ( I search a 2-year-old post requesting this feature) and I say goodbye to PS and AI. Also if anyone knows any workaround for this please help me.

AFAIK there is no workaround so far, AD doesn't export text in an editable manner for the PSD format. Even AD itself can't import/read it's previously own generated and exported PSD in a readable text manner back. Meaning in it's actually state it always treats text as pixel layers here.

By default AD imports PSD text as an image, but there is a Preferences setting to change this behaviour. The default is set that way so that the text will look correct even if you don't have the font installed, and if you need to edit the text you'll find out soon enough that it isn't editable.

That "Do not import PSD text as a bitmap, but as text" pref is always as default checked in AD for me, but doesn't change the overall uneditable text behavior here.

I’m pretty sure that importing PSD text as text is not the installation default, but there’s nothing we can do about the export behaviour.

Well don't remember for the initial state of this toggle (if it's enabled per default or not). However, the problem is more that it is useless here at all!
