Hello
Ok , i have obviously misunderstood something about the use of PSD. Try to edit in psd/photo editor.  Has downloaded and installed version 3.2. Choose G3 elastic, female character. Goes to composer mode and then to psd editor (i use Affinity Photo).
Affinity opens/starts but i get the error message: "failed to transver the file from another application". When i press OK, a new error message apperars " the file was not found" (on the top there is ...../appdat/local/temp/CTA3Temp/elastikFolksfemale etc". (alle error messages are in Affinity).  Has downloadet CTA G3 Pipeline PSD Template Sample (according to the manual). Opened this but are not sure where to put them. 
I know PSD has been discussed in another thread but i can not find this, som if someone can point it out to me i would appreciate it.

This is my testing, I use G3 Elastic Folks_Female_01_F.ctTBactor to Composer and launch to external PSD Editor (Affinity Photo).
But I do not get the message about  "failed to transfer the file from another application". Which situation could happen?

I editing sprite and exporting the PSD file to the local address (Desktop).
After exporting, Using the PSD update function to reload character. It looks worked.

Thank you for answering.
My steps are: 
1) Choose any G3 character from the content manager (elastic folks....)
2) Go to composer mode
3) Choose PSD editor.
Affinity open but then i get the error messages.
I have never worked/tried witht psd before so i am sure i am doing something fundamentally (or basic and simpel) wrong. It looked so easy on tutorial so i thought i should try.

Could you help me check folder of C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\CTA3Temp.
In this folder should have PSD temp file for example when you launch the G3 Elastic Folks_Female_01_F character, you will find out the ElasticFolksFemale01F.psd file in this folder.

I think Affinity could not load this local file due to this address have space. But I am not sure.
You also can use PSD Update function of "Import PSD Assets" for updating have modified character.

The psd files are in the folder, but affinity still can not find it. Probably a problem with Affinity. This is a function I will not use with the first so I do not spend more time on it.
 
But thank you very much for your help :)  I will try your suggestion - PSD Update function of "Import PSD Assets" - when i start a new CTA project. (Havent used CTA for a while so i need to "relearn" it/refresh it)
