DavidDoesAffinity Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Has there been any change that I have missed for an Affinity made psd to have it's text layer(s) edited once saved as a psd? (I realise that saving as a .afphoto gives full editability). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidDoesAffinity Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Is this likely to be addressed? I cannot find the earlier response from the beta days. The issue only raises it's head on odd ocassions but when it does it's a pain for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue only raises it's head on odd ocassions but when it does it's a pain for sure. The response is the same as it has always been: it's a big job, and Serif have said it's one they'd like to do, but they have not said when they might do it. My thoughts: It's a complex undertaking. While many users consider PSD as a "standard" format, it is really a proprietary one, and is only partly documented by Adobe, with some aspects being either poorly documented or not documented at all. And it changes at Adobe's whim. I think that anyone who wants to create a PSD file with editable text basically has to do a lot of experimenting and reverse engineering of the file format to figure out how to make editable PSD text, supporting all the possible attributes that text would have. And then they need to keep doing that on into the future as Adobe makes further undocumented changes.

DavidDoesAffinity Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Thanks for a very informative post Walt. Can you think of another way to deliver editable layers and editable text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best is to use .afphoto (or .afdesign or .afpub), of course Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennweb Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Guys, this one is killing me. I am using Adobe XD for prototyping and for spec exporting. However, the text being converted to images is a death blow. Affinity does not even need to worry about all these cloud prototyping and exporting tools if they can just fix the export to psd. There is also a problem with masks not being correctly formatted. Yes, I can export to PDF and then use something like Photopea to then export to PSD. But the problem is the pdf export is exporting at double the size? i.e. my canvas is 1000 pixels wide, its exporting as 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
