That would imply first the use of sidecar files which is not in the scope
nor the finality of AP. -
Hey KA,
AP is a pixel editor. Granted, a pixel editor with RAW development limited capabi-
lities but it is NOT a dedicated RAW converter — and, AFAIAC, does not need to be.
So, AP will open many RAW files but will convert them upon opening to images
with the final goal to publish editable images — anything but RAW. Uultimately, AP
will NOT save your work in sidecar files — like a dedicated RAW converter, this ex-
plains why one never has to save the work done in a converter — but will save each
and every single images on is own as they all are separate documents.
AP has this limitation with RAW files as my RAW converter has others in pixel edition
through layers only.
A RAW converter is never destructive. -
I suggest that before adding this tethering feature to AP,
Sérif should come up with a real, dedicated, RAW converter. -
Now, I can open images but all the previous settings are gone.
Can you point at a file(s) I could restore from TimeMachine? -
I do see that menu as you suggest, Callum, but I will lose then
all the work of fine tuning I did on my workspace, not?
It want to send report to Apple — which I did — but I can copy it
nor save it.

Yes, to Apple!
— Affinity Photo was just fine even after I updated to 1.8.6 !?!?!?! -
I've been a long time AP user — using now the latest v. 1.8.6 release successfully since
day one — and I am experiencing issues since yesterday: AP launches but won't load my
interface / workspace AP crashes opening files… any files My reflex was to restore from
TimeMachine first its Application...
Any idea… suggestions? -

My reflex was to restore from TimeMachine first its Application Support folder
— that didn't help! — then I restored the app itself — didn't help either!

I'm certainly not asking for it to become Capture One etc, just to save a sidecar - that's it, that's all, nothing else added.
AF is a pixel editor… coma.
It does have the tools to develop a RAW file — only one at the time, that is — but the
main purpose of it is an immediate conversion from a data file to an image that will
be edited. Given this, side car files are irrelevant.
I do, in my workflow, use first a proper RAW converter — and that suffices most of the
time — when not, I will publish an editable image to work eventually in a pixel editor. -
+1, +1, +1, +1, +1…

A DAM is not usually in the scope of a pixel editor but many converters offer it. -
The purpose of a pixel editor like AP is to modify, manipulate an image.
A RAW file is not an image but an unalterable data file that may be de-
veloped by means of unsaved sidecar(s) files and then exported to any
image format of your choosing that can then be worked in a pixel editor.
The AP's develop persona means to give one access to such an image
from a RAW file. For this reason, AP will develop but one file at the time.
I use a dedicated RAW converter and Affinity's suite in my workflow. An
all in one solution at this point is possibly a good idea but I', not sure it
would be a blessing.

Hi Paul,
photography needs a given toolbox that is different, more ap-
propriate to pixel editing. To be including vector graphics on a
photo would make am image (IMO) look phoney at best unless
it is no longer an image but a layout — and that's Publisher's job.
Working as a photographer in the publishing industry, I use both
Photo and Publisher but only after development in an other app
that is a proper converter.

what's the difference between them?
Designer is a vector graphic app as Photo is a pixel editor.

@deedee123
That wood make APhoto perform non related tasks to photography.
The next step then would be RAW development persona in ADesigner?As a photographer, I'll pass.

Salut Bernard,
j'utilise aussi la version en anglais, merci pour la note! -
This is how I organised my UI at this point

Salut d'un montréalais en Europe depuis 30 ans!
Ben oui, Alain, après avoir travaillé avec CS6 a part quelques semaines
d'adaptation à la suite de Sérif, je me suis remis au boulot content d'être
sorti du cercle d'adobe. Je me suis débrouillé tantôt tout seul tantôt avec
les tutoriels en ligne.
La pandémie ralentit tout, j'ai donc un peu de temps pour le forum. -

You cannot save raw development progress.
Hey Jeffrey,
AP is a pixel editor that added a single RAW file development persona
(only one!) because the purpose is to edit an image. Since a RAW is
unalterable it won't record or save in sidecar files the tweaks, for that
one needs a real converter.
There are things that bug me too after being a user for years. -

Thank you for helping!

It seems to me that keyboarding and/or tagging is more of the resort of a DAM
capable software and not in the scope of a pixel editor — these are not, IMHO,
desirable features in AP… or am I missing something?
