Saving from Fireworks .png to Photoshop .psd #5

Open adobefireworks opened 11 years ago

adobefireworks commented 11 years ago

Problem Description When saving a document from fireworks .png to Photoshop .psd, everything works more or less OK and now comes the issue...

Text boxes appear in Photoshop too big. Height is 500% more than it should be. So basically text-boxes in Fireworks appear OK but when it is save it as .psd, all the text boxes breaks.

Only thing you can do is manually adjust text box height in Photoshop which is very time consuming.

The area text in Fireworks doesn't seem to have a height; it simply expands vertically to fit the content. Maybe this is related somehow.

Looks like the bug is related to switching between point text and area text

Workaround Instead of manually adjusting the height of a text box in Photoshop, you can convert it to point text and then back to area text, using the commands Layer > Type > Convert to Point Text and Layer > Type > Convert to Paragraph Text.

To make this easier, you could record these two commands as an Action (and call it "FW Text Box fix" or something).

Your workflow is backward. You should be exporting from Photoshop to Fireworks, and not the other way around. It's not a bug for a web page designed in Fireworks to look or behave differently in Photoshop. It's an incompatibility. Incompatibilities between applications with different purposes have to be expected. Every change made to Fireworks to make it more compatible with Photoshop has weakened it. Why not change Photoshop to be more compatible with Fireworks instead?
