Error Opening Photoshop CC File

[KensonPlays]

I hired out a graphic designer back in 2016 for my livestream channel, and had a license for Photoshop then, but I currently cannot afford the price they're asking for even just the Photography plan. I tried opening the file in Affinity, and I get the following error:

 

 

The left image is the way Affinity is rendering it. The right is the proper rendering I want, from Photoshop CC 2016, from what my gfx designer has told me. (Currently has way too many projects/clients and has no idea when he'll have any time to fix, could be months, swamped with lots of work)

 

Is it possible to render the psd in the format where it'll show up like the right side image, not the left? Been stuck trying to figure this out for weeks now.

 

I am running Affinity Photo 1.6.5.135.

For the PSD file in APh no I don't think so, see also related:

• Clipping masks on groups?

But if you still have PS running or a trial version of that, you can remove those group clippings and leave them as plain layers in that PSD file. Then when importing into APh you can readjust emulate again the clipping effect.

Or you add and draw on the left image some curves which do emulate what the right image shows, sort of an inner frame outline and shadow. - Something like this here (just a quick'n'dirty one) ...

Unfortunately I don't have PS installed at all. I guess I could try that. But would changing the clippings to plain layers mess with how it looks?

Maybe can't tell since I don't know how that it is setup and looks in PS there. You have to try out and see if it leaves layers in a way you can then afterwards perform an emulation like this in APh ...

I'll look into it later tonight. Thanks! (Getting hungry. )
