Unsupported Photoshop Features and Issues
When you import a Photoshop file that contains one or more layers that are set to an
unsupported transfer mode, the “Unsupported Transfer Mode (Mode Name)” message
appears in the Viewer, and the mode for that layer in the Parameters tab reads
“Unsupported.”
Shake has no support for the following Photoshop features:
• Photoshop layer masks
• Alpha channels created in the Photoshop Channels tab
• Layer styles
• Text layers
• Fill layers
It’s important to name the layers in a Photoshop file carefully. Observe the following
restrictions:
• Never name a layer “color,” “time,” or “track.”
• Never use a name that’s identical to a C++ keyword.
• Never use a name that’s identical to a C++ function call, for example “sin” or “rnd.”
