When you work on a project in Affinity Photo (or Designer/Publisher), saving your work properly is crucial. A program crash, power failure, or unexpected error can cause you to lose progress. Plus, if you want to share your design, post it online, or open it in another program, you’ll need the right format.
Let’s go through the main ways you can (and should) save or export your work in Affinity.
A lot of resources available online are in EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format. Those are vector format, but when you open them in PaintShop Pro, you lose the vector feature. Typically, you end up with a flattened jpg image. That is not what you want. One vector format the PaintShop Pro can handle is WMF. Let's see how we can go from EPS to WMF.
Occasionally, as a PaintShop Pro user, you might want to take advantage of some supplies you are able to purchase or download, but they are not in a native format for PSP. Although PSP can use some Photoshop file formats (like .abr brushes and .psd layered images), not every file format can be used as-is. What can you do? This is how I discovered Convertio.
