gionaguidi Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hi guys, i tried opening a complex Photoshop file which basically is a resume organized in 4 pages with multiple layers each. The file is definitely big (300mb) but the problem seems to have to do with compatibility between the file created in Photoshop and how AP will manage the same objects. In particular, there’s a smart object in PS which is a photo that should be visible only as a portion covered by shapes in other layers. Unfortunately the photo is not visible at all unless i re-organize the layers but obviously that brings to losing the original order of layers and the picture is totally visible instead of being shown as a portion only. In PS everything is working perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 28, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hi gionaguidi, Welcome to Affinity Forums Currently Affinity apps don't support Photoshop's smart objects. They are rasterised on import. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand... so this is a big problem when it comes to switch from PS to AP because all of your previous files that have smart objects won’t work properly. Any known roadmap on adding smart objects in AP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 28, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hi gionaguidi, As far as i know we do intend support smart objects but there's no eta for its implementation. It's not in the Affinity Photo's roadmap for the 1.x cycle of the app (although we occasionally implement some things not listed/planned there).

I want to highlight that besides the limitations with smart object the app for iPad is constantly crashing with this psd file. I lowered the time between each auto saving but the app is crashing so frequently that every single adjustment on the file is not saved. Not that easy to rely on this piece of software for people coming from PS and its proven stability honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gionaguidi Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hi again, any chance to get support on my constant crashing? May i email someone at Affinity Support a download link to the psd file so they can investigate what is causing the app to be totally unusable working on it? THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrPx Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Does it also happen if you save the file as native affinity file, instead of keeping it as a *.psd ? I would perhaps try that. Even saving it so, close it, and open the new native file to work on it the rest of the time. With the possibility of at the end export again as a PSD, if you absolutely need the final in that format (probably would need to flatten or rasterize some things for the very final PSD save, but the result could be made 1:1, visually). I don't know if has to do with that, I'd just try that. And is only pure instinct, I have no other reason. ramses and gionaguidi 2 Quote AD, AP and APub. V1.10.6 and V2.4 Windows 10 and Windows 11.
