meitnik Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I have made a closed vector path in Photoshop. Applied an inner glow to the path. I can copy the path as SVG and paste into AD. The path gets pasted but not the effect applied to it. So...what tricks are there, if any, how to preserve vector layer effects when importing/pasting from Photoshop.

meitnik Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 AHHH, if saved as a PSD file, at least the glow effects get parsed....off to experiment more; however, a detailed list of which layer effects on paths do get parsed when opening a PSD would be helpful.

Staff Dan C Posted September 12, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hi meitnik I don't believe any of the PS FX , such as inner glow, are SVG compatible - which is why you're not seeing the effect when copy and pasting an SVG. I've just created a test PS document with a rectangle for each of the FX that PS offer, the following imported into Affinity and were fully editable - Bevel & Emboss Stroke Inner Shadow Inner Glow Colour Overlay Outer Glow (provided a gradient is not used) Drop Shadow The following were not imported into Affinity and would require rasterisation in PS before opening the PSD - Advanced Blend Modes Satin Pattern Overlay I hope this helps! meitnik 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

meitnik Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 footnote, the inner glow is rendered differently than in PS. The mathematics of glow are not same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
