ProCreate's new PSD files don't work in Paintstorm

Post by Joel Stewart » Mon Dec 05, 2016 10:18 am

Just tested whether Paintstorm plays nicely with the new psd import function of ProCreate (since there's lots of cool stuff but no significant improvements to Procreate's brush engine). Put simply, it doesn't.

Procreate's layers appear as empty folders in Paintstorm (I transferred using Documents app). When I added some Paintstorm layers to the same document and transferred it back to ProCreate as a new file (via Documents again) ProCreate crashed every time.

Hey Joel,

As a work around until this is fixed, I was able to open the PSD file exported from Procreate in Gimp on my Mac, export as a PSD from Gimp. Then I was then able to open the PSD in Paintstorm with the changes from Procreate showing up. Yay!

Paintstorm can open a psd file saved to icloud from Graphic (via save to app) and Graphic can open a Procreate psd file saved to icloud. Works on my ipad pro. Layers remain intact. Suggest adding your signature, copyright, or watermark text while in graphic on a new layer as part of a work flow.
