Sr. Picasso Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hello everybody, I am desperatly trying to edit a normal vector .psd file (no smart object) . Unfortunately erveytime I open the file, I get an ugly bitmap image. The different layers appears correctly, but I am not able to get a pixelfree image (=vector image). I already tried to take .ai copy of the file, unfortunately it didn´t worked out neither. How can I load a.psd vector file without any quality loss? Any clue someone? Thanks in advance!

Staff MEB Posted November 29, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi Sr. Picasso, Welcome to Affinity Forums Without seeing the file is difficult to guess what's going on. Are you trying to open/import the file in Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo? Affinity Photo does rasterise document's view on screen, so vector objects will appear pixelated if you zoom in, however they are still vector objects - if you scale them up they don't lose quality. Affinity Designer renders them on screen as vectors so they never get pixelated no matter if you zoom them in or not.

Sr. Picasso Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Okay, so I guess, you just found the problem. I am using Affinity Photo. I would surely have to use Afinity Designer to get the "real" vector file open... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just that in Affinity Photo, they are displayed in rasterized form.
