Limitations of importing and exporting PSD files in Fireworks

• PSD import and export improvements
• Known limitations of PSD import and export

Owing to enhancements in Fireworks, many elements of the original PSD file are retained when importing and exporting as a PSD file.

The improved support for PSD import and export allows you to import and export the following elements in a PSD file:

• Layer affects
• Layer groups
• Transparency
• Text
• Slices
• Smart objects
• Vector shapes
• Guides
• Gradients

• Text objects with transformations applied revert to default fonts if the original font used to create an object is not found on the system.
• Photoshop adjustment layers are not preserved when imported.
• PSD files are not a valid file type when creating a slideshow.
• Text on a path does not retain its original position.
• Reopening a PSD exported from Fireworks could move the layers up or down in the stack when reimported.
• Editable clipping mask
• Editable adjustment layers 

• Fireworks groups are exported as flattened layers. Blend affects applied to the group can be lost during the flattening process.
• Images with gradient fills or pattern are exported with a random fill or pattern. There are currently no PSD Live Effects that allow you to apply these features to images during export.
• Strokes are not preserved.
• Blend modes don't always retain exact appearance.
• Symbols are flattened as bitmaps.
