I am now able to use Affinity Photo Beta successfully. Here's why: First Issue - "Affinity Photo" wouldn't (and still won't) launch from within Apple Photos. Solution to first issue: Use "Affinity Photo Beta". Down load it. Install it. Launch it from within Apple Photos. Second Issue - I downloaded "Affinity Photo Beta" but couldn't complete the installation of it. Solution to second issue: My "Affinity Photo" app was in the wrong directory. I moved it back to Macintosh\Applications. I then double clicked on the "Affinity Photo Beta" app and it launched and installed successfully. Next, I opened Apple Photos and successfully launched "Affinity Photos Beta" from within Apple Photos. Below is a photo of what I now see from within Apple Photos. You can see that both "Affinity Photo" (triangle shaped icons) and "Affinity Photo Beta" (square shaped icons) are available. I now use just the beta options. Thank you to everyone who helped with this successful resolution.

Hi Dan, Thanks for the information on the beta version. I downloaded it from the link you provided. This box appeared when I subsequently launched Affinity Photo Beta. It states: "To participate in the beta you need to install Affinity Photo Beta from the Mac App Store, or have a valid product key." I don't see Affinity Photo Beta in the Mac App Store. Where is the product key? (Note that I purchased Affinity Photo from the Mac App Store.) Thanks!

From the Apple App Store.

I use Photos on my iMac. When I attempt to launch Affinity Photo from within Photos, I get the error message, "Affinity Photo could not be launched. Please press cancel." Is there a way to fix this?
