Thanks ! This worked. When I drag in a colour photo now it retains its colour. Next, I need to find out how to change the size of the inserted photo(s). I also did not see a command like "Insert a file as a layer" (as I it know from ACDsee). Therefore I just dragged it in. I'm sure there is a better way, or a way to adapt the size of the dragged in photo (s).

Thanks. I see (after size and MP) Grey/8-Greyscale D50. Can I change this and make it a colour photo?

I have a picture (pure white). This should be my background for two colour pictures. Every time I insert one of my colour pictures it becomes black & white. I'm new to Affinity and a little less new to photo software, but I can't solve my problem. Any help? I'm using Affinity photo and designer. Thanks in advance, LuBu

Finally, dpp and dpx files should be readable by Affinity designer and Affinity Photo

Hi, I just (Dec 2019) made the switch from SerifDrawPlus X8 and SerifPhotoPlus X8 to Affinity Photo and Affinity designer. Luckily I did not uninstall the former Serif software. It seems both Affinity programs can't open dpp or dpx files!!!; it also appears that there is no format I can use via 'safe as' or export in the Serif programs, Affinity programs can then read (apart from jpg or bmp or suchlike). Is Affinity not a kind of successor of these Serif programs? How can a company (I assume Affinity belongs to Serif) not make sure that the outputs are upwards compatible. This is probably not a problem unique to me. Did anybody find a solution? Thanks in advance.
