darinb Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Hello, I'm trying to export to Photoshop and preserve the layers (a background and another image). When I export it gets compressed to a single layer. What am I missing? --Darin Quote
firstdefence Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 What are you exporting to? PSD, PDF, JPG, PNG?

darinb Posted February 27, 2019 Author Posted February 27, 2019 I'm exporting to psd. I expected the layers to be there, but they are not. I'm new-ish to Affinity--is there something I should look into? I don't have photoshop but I saved the psd file and reopened it in Affinity. No layers. I also sent it to my designer ti check (he has photoshop but no Affinity). No layers. I'm sure I'm making a dumb mistake, but what? --Darin Quote
firstdefence Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 I have Photoshop, can you upload the file so I can take a look? If you would rather keep it private a mod can give you a link to their dropbox space for them to look at. The Affinity apps will only use the PDF portion of an Adobe file and only if that PDF portion is Available. I have just created an image made of 3 layers, I have renamed the layers and then exported it to PSD fully editable see screenshot below. This is the PSD preset I selected Not only did Photoshop open the exported PSD file correctly it also imported the guide info, which I was surprised at. Exported PSD: Space.psd (8.6MB) Original afphoto file: Space.afphoto (8.1MB) Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

darinb Posted February 27, 2019 Author Posted February 27, 2019 Ahhhh, thank you very much. Choosing the drop down "preserve edibility" seems to have made all the difference. Thanks! --Darin Quote
