Issue with blending modes import in 5.3

Ran_TH

If you import a new PSD in Live2D 5.3 to start a new project, it will default to SDK 5.3 which will use all new 5.3 like blending modes.

However this poses a problem if you intend to create a model for earlier SDK version. All Add/Multiply layers are imported with new 5.3 blending modes set. If you want to export to earlier version, there's no way to automatically revert those layers back to "before 5.3" modes. You have to find and select those layers manually, which is a major inconvenience.

There should be a way to select target SDK before PSD import process, so blending modes would be correctly set to its target version. Or provide a way to automatically find and select those layers with incompatible blending modes.

I have another finding, importing a new PSD on 5.0 or earlier project will assign them new 5.3 blending modes, if you have Multiply/Add layers.
This just adds more work to revert them manually. PSD import should respect project SDK settings on the top-left corner.

This seems like an oversight that will trip many users who are not familiar with the changes.
