Here's another user requesting better Affinity Photo / Apple Photos integration on the iPad. I'm trying to use Apple Photos as my organizational tool, while also using Affinity Photo's superior editing capabilities.
On the Mac, this works fine. In Photos, Edit With > Affinity Photo 2 creates a temporary file and opens it in AFPhoto. When this file is saved, it becomes the edited version in Photos, with all the context that the original had.
On the iPad, all I can do is "import" from Photos into AFPhoto. I can then export from AFPhoto to cloud or local storage, find the file in the Files app, and do Share > Save Photo. Now the edited copy is in Photos, but as a separate image, with no relation to its source.
My particular application is underwater photography. My hope is to work on photos on the iPad while I'm still on my dive trips. But as it is now, I'll have to wait until I get home to my computer, otherwise I'll have a disorganized mess, and need to duplicate a lot of work.
Thanks for listening...
