![]() ![]() I love the 1.7 release, and look forward to using the Studio Link buttons and other features just rolled out on my work for most of my other clients. Arrrgh! And then to add to my frustration I'm playing with Procreate and it's newly added text feature and see that it exports psd files with editable text (but, alas, it has no real vector tools or full feature photo editing but. Studio Link looks to improve this workflow even more. Now, when I'm working on his projects I miss my Affinity workflow between Photo and Designer for adding Call-outs and other graphics to photos. I'd jumped completely off the Adobe plan almost 3 years ago. +1 Had to re-subscribe to Photoshop because I acquired a client who needed psd files with editable text. I'm not a Pixelmator fanboy it seems clunky to me but it does a couple of things I find useful so I'll have to learn it and just keep hoping Affinity finds a way to implement these two things - Motion Export being a higher priority for me. Yes, that's another topic and I have my request in there but it came to mind as Pixelmator does this as well. that and the lack editable text in PSD exports so I can send my clients Photoshop files in which they can change the text. Anyway, I up vote this as well it would solve my biggest issue with Designer. I just now tried the SVG export from Affinity to Pixelmator import and it kept my layout but broke my text to different layers (still editable text but one line would be on four layers.) so, dang! I'll end up spending as much time fixing that as fiddling with Pixelmator's text tools. I'd prefer to stay with Designer - It's been my go to for the simple graphics I do for low budget TV ads ever since I dropped Adobe. With Affinity I was exporting my layers and then rebuilding my layout in Motion. The text export is not the greatest (I find any custom leading ends up having to be reset in Motion) and the text tools in Pixelmator are limited but - I get editable text (and thus can apply Motion's text behaviors to it) and my layout stays intact and doesn't have to be rebuilt. ![]() I've owned it almost as long as Affinity but haven't used it much until I heard about the Motion Project Export feature they recently added. I just moved over to Pixelmator Pro because of the Motion project export.
