Can't edit text when exporting to Photoshop - Kariena - 07-15-2018
Good day
I've created an artwork in Gimp and exported it as a .psd file. When I open the file in Photoshop I can't edit the text.
How can I fix this?
Kind Regards
Kariena

Gimp text layers when exported to psd format remain as layers but are 'flattened' ie become a bitmap same as the rest of your image.
Solution. Save your work as a Gimp .xcf file until completely finished. Then export to some other format.

Likely not possible AFAIK. I assume the PSD export in GImp converts text layers into plain bitmap layers (since this is also what it does when importing PSD files).
