Hi. This is based on In my case on bottom is raw file linked layer. I create Merge visible layer and apply B&W adjustment. This is first effect layer. Second effect layer this is with inverted/Color dodge blend mode/blur applyied. This two layers I want to put inside group. I know how to do this with mouse (ctrl+click) but this not works with macros. My base question is how to create group with to or more layers when creating macro ? How to select more layers using keyboard ? Darek

Hi. First we have raw file with date and time taken. During post processing changes we get afphoto file with new date and time creation. Next we export to e.g jpg. This jpg has the same date end time creation as afphoto file. How to set creation date and time of the jpg the same as exif date and time taken of raw file ?

It is possible to recover color in this area ? Color of walls is greenish, not grey. ...to be visible ke this ? What I have to do without creating layers ? Budapeszt 2023-10-22 at 18-25-02 - 0128.ARW

My question is in heading. Darek

Done. I was quite sure I was sending original raw. My iPad issues Darek

IMHO good option would be message like this "Affinity found similar named file FileName_here in the same folder, would You like to relink them?"

ok, done Darek

Hi. On Windows there is pair of files name.arw and name.afphoto. Both files are stored in the same folder on Synology nas. When I try to open name.afphoto with Afinity Photo v2 on iPad I see message window „Resource file missing, would You like to locate them?” My answer is YES. BUT. During opening afphoto file - File manager was open in folder on Synology, now is open on „Recent folder” - KK. WHY not the same folder ? Next, when I locate disired folder I see unlinked arw file but it is grayed out and I can’t relink this file. Darek

Yes - Synology Drive as Linked service.

I have Synology nas with Drive installed. Drive works exactly like Dropbox but this is my own cloud service. How to connect Drive to Affinity Photo as Linked service ?

Lee. Yes I know paths in various systems are vary. In windows it is : z:\path\to\myphoto or \\nas_name\path\to\myphoto in ipados it is very\long\path\staragelooking\to\myphoto. But when myphoto.arw and myphoto.afphoto are in the same folder it should be only common part of path like this .\myphoto.arw and .\myphoto.afphoto. Darek

i run AP on Windows. Created afphoto with raw file linked to afphoto. Both files are in the same folder on NAS. I was trying to open this afphoto file on iPad but… received message „assets not found” Why ? both files stored in the same folder and raw not found ! Darek

Hi @Paul Mudditt Good news. Open function needs special type of data (I think so) prepared by other function like Get file from. This function needs two parameters : - special formatted Folder and - file name which could be a text (provided e.g. by function Combine) Darek

I was trying to run this script when file is on nas, on my ipad, jpg, cr2 and arw. Run fron Files and from FileBrowser Pro. Exactly the same result. Show „function” returns proper extension. But Open function shows error with txt extension. Darek

Hi. This is my shortcut. I created this because of I try to debug my another shortcut. It has command Show with parameter FilePath This command shows that file extension is arw. In last step is command Open with the same parameter FilePath. Result of this command shows that file extension changes from arw to txt. My simplae question is : why file extension changes ? Darek

@BarKeegan - when I try to use Copy command in Photos and than use New from Clipboard in AP i have two responses : 1. arw file from rx10m4 2. Normal jpg - all works ok. Darek

This shortcut works very well … in other apps (like Files), but when I try to use it in Photos I see popup message „you don’t have permissions to view it” Thank You Paul. Darek

RX10M4 arw files, jpg files too are „affected” by this nice feature.

Thank You. The way „from Photos to AP” is better because in Photos there is ability to compare photos which are very similar and choose better one. But way „import from Photos” simply works. Darek BTW. When I try to copy/save (Save command in Shortcuts) file from Photos to „on my ipad” folder I receive „no permission” message. And nothing helps, even restart.

Hi. When I try to to send photo from Files to Affiniti Photo I see AP icon on the Share sheet. But when I try to do the same from Photos app there is no AP icon present. Simply - it is not possible to send photo from Photos to AP. How to send photo stored inside Photos to AP ? Darek K

Hi. I have two situations on my iPad. 1. Files app (and any other files manager like File Browser Pro)- open share sheet - i see AP icon and i can send specific photo from Files to AP 2. Photos app - open share sheet and that’s all, AP icon not visible, sending specific photo to AP not possible. And YES, I was trying to create shortcut which is working … with any other app, but when I try to use it in Photos I see popup window „you have no permissions”. My main question is - how to send photo from Photos app to AP. Darek

Thank You. I was wondering if it is possibly to do something like this

Hi. I know how to remove these shadows using clone stamp, inpainting and copying parts of the photo to new location. But how to tweak shadows with masks and adjustments ? I can create luminosity mask or paint mask from scratch with paintbrush. Problem is when all adjustments are done (or allmost done) appears very visible edge around maked areas. How to get rid of this edge or how to prepare mask without this edge ? Origina photo in atachment. Darek K _RXV6270.ARW

Hi. For now because I did not found Info panel in AP for IPad I assume it is not present. How to do convenient readout of color and brightness form specific two points? Darek K

My idea for this issue is - grab idea from Photolab. 1. Tap and hold on icon 2. Move up, more up = less step = bigger distance to change value 3. Move left, right And sorry for my english. Darek K
