Opening is not the same as full fidelity
PhotoCraft is early alpha software. A PSD opening is useful evidence, but does not establish complete Photoshop compatibility. Documents can combine blend modes, type, effects, smart objects, adjustments, masks and color settings in different ways.
Keep an untouched source, a reference image exported by its author and a separate test copy. Never make a browser round trip the only copy of an important PSD.
Inspect the parts that matter
| Part | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Raster layers and masks | Names, order, visibility, edges and mask boundaries. |
| Type | Font substitution, line breaks, spacing, baseline and editable state. |
| Gradients and effects | Stops, angles, opacity, blending, strokes and shadows. |
| Smart objects and filters | Appearance and whether the original structure survives. |
| Color and transparency | Profiles, alpha edges and differences against the source application. |
These are inspection categories, not claims that every feature is supported. A discrepancy is a reason to retain the original and use its source application for that part of the workflow.
Read specific upstream issues
Issue 2976 concerns text pasting and issue 3028 concerns a PSD gradient case. Their status can change. Read the issue and reproduce its document before assuming a release fixes it.
This site does not label those cases resolved. Our test record covers only named fixtures and operations, not the entire PSD format.
Check the round trip separately
- Open the PSD and compare its initial appearance.
- Make one small visible edit.
- Download a saved document copy and a flattened PNG.
- Reopen both and compare the expected change.
- If interchange matters, open the saved file in the receiving application as a separate test.
The browser and desktop build can have different constraints. Success with one simple document cannot predict every interchange case.
