Yes, but it would be really great and super useful if I could open the RAW file again at a later time after editing it in develop persona (without needing to save it as an .afphoto file). Having all my changes saved within the raw file or in a sidecar and to be able make any other further ammendments would save a lot of time.

This has probably been suggested already, but I really wish Affinity Photo could add a method of saving RAW edits using a xmp sidecar file (or other non destructive way like how Adobe Camera Raw remembers edits to dng files) so that I can re-open edited raw files a later date. An option to reset edits back to original settings of the RAW file should be included too. The current method of having to bake edits after developing and to save as an .afphoto file is a pain, due to making another large file or having to re-edit the RAW again.

Thank you for your reply. I guess I'll have to find a new workflow. It's a shame that edits made in the Develop Persona don't get saved within the dng file or even in a side car xmp file. I'd rather not make another new file save of the edits, especially when I edit lots of photos at one time.

Hello, I am new to Affinity and a bit confused to how to save DNG edits in Affinity Photo. My workflow when I was using Photoshop was to first convert my raw Nikon images in Adobe DNG Converter, open the dng file into Adobe Camera Raw to edit, then open into Photoshop. If I was to close that photoshop file without saving, I could re-open the dng file (back into Camera Raw and my previous edits would be saved. So I have opened a dng file into Affinity Photo 2 on iMac, it opens up in develop persona and I make my edits. I then click develop (raw layer embedded) and if I close the file without saving, and re-open that dng file again, the edits aren't saved. Is this normal behaviour? Is there a way to save the dng edits without making an affinity save file? Lee.
