@R C-R  I am curious.  Do you work for Serif?
@R C-R So we as consumers and customers don't have a right to provide our input, needs and concerns to Serif for a product we are supporting.  That we should in your opinion just shut up and take what we get without out any comment, suggestion or point of view?  In your world we should just abandon our support monetarily and just go use something else, walking away from the expense?  Why, because you don't like us posting our point of view in a the forum or you personally don't think our point of view is "worthy" of our input here.?  This is what I get from your comment.
Although I completely support your right to that point of view, I can not defend it.
I can not characterize the support of a file format as "bloat" or "baggage".  I do not agree that some common features with other application excludes Affinity from still being uniquely poised in the industry. Uniqueness of the product does not in my opinion dictate some arbitrary minimalistic approach to the use case. This is clearly demonstrated by Affinity providing some unique features that surpass (not replace) other applications.  I also can not agree that adding the .tga format would break Serif's bank in some way.
Again, If you agree with Serif's opinion that the format is not a fit, fine.  You are of course entitled to that point of view.  Many of us simply do not agree and the fact that if we do not agree, that somehow invalidates our reasons for disagreeing with you.  
Our hope (those who are asking Serif to include .tga formats) is that Serif will at some point listen to our opinion with a response to meet our request.
We respectfully reserve the right to make our opinions know and defend them.  It's up to Serif to make the decision to respond.
 

@Patrick Connor  I understand.  Thank you for your time to add some input from someone at Serif.
Yes, I know this subject hasn't been discussed in some time but maybe it's time now to discuss it with Serif staff.  We would greatly appreciate you bringing it to the table at the appropriate meeting.
My background and training are actually in software development and support so I appreciate your position.
Regards,

Ok.  Very weird but I tried directly downloading into photo again and it worked for all three bonuses.
 
I have not idea why it didn’t work earlier today.
 
Thanks

Is there a way to do this with Photo?
 
If now now, will there be Please? :)

Perfect Browse of On1software is also a good alternative ... and it was free some weeks ago.
