Question

Fresco merges my layers when sending to desktop

FRUSTRATING: I have been trying to send a file I tweaked a little from fresco (which has a mix of vector and pixel layers) to my desktop. When it imports it merges all my layers together and I can't further edit it on my computer. Help it never used to do this and I can't figure out a workaround!

 

I saw someone say something about an "experimental simplify" setting but I can't change that.

Hi @n26270402dvni,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind confirming if the pixel layer & vector layer are different in Fresco? If yes, then it should send the file to the desktop as separate layers. However, if you have merged the pixel & vector layers, you have encountered a limitation in the imaging model. When merging a vector with a pixel layer, the new combined layer is converted to a raster layer because layers must be either one or the other. A layer cannot have both vector and raster content.

 

Also, would you mind confirming to which Desktop app you are sending the artwork and if any blend modes are applied to the layers?

 

Thanks,
