Pick up where you left off
Bring your existing projects into Affinity and keep working in the file formats you already rely on.
Open PSD and AI files and keep their structure intact. Will Paterson covers import settings, and what happens to your layers, editable text, Smart Objects, artboards, and vector elements.
