Hello, I bought AFFINITY today and, after staying one hour online with APPLE CARE, we could not understand how to link AFFINITY to PHOTOS. When opening PHOTOS, the only extension shown is BEFUNKY which I downloaded as a trial (free APP) and I did not have to do anything as the extension appeared automatically when opening PHOTOS for the first time. I failed to create the extension on 2 computers, meaning there is something I missed as Both computers are under OS X EI CAPTAIN... I have tried other ways to create the link with PHOTOS but failed. Would be great to get some help as I am eager to use AFFINITY with PHOTO. Thanks

Hello, Last October, I have bought AFFINITY but I did not manage to use it as an extension for PHOTOS by APPLE like AURORA HDR for example. When downloading AURORA HDR, it automatically becomes an extension recognized by PHOTOS but I could not find a way to do so with AFFINITY and I have been reimbursed. Any improvement on this ? I would love to buy AFFINITY again .... in case no specific process is needed after downloading because the link would automatically appear when opening PHOTOS with a clic on EXTENSION. Thanks in advance for your comments.

well, when it comes to selecting affinity photo or affinity photo Beta or any other file, the "click" is prohibited, all the icones are shaded. Anyway, I bought Affinity to have an easy extension of Photos and replace Aperture but it does not serve its purpose. It is far too complicated. Need to export each Photo and then import it back. At this stage computer skills are far more important than photo skills. it is a bit frustrating. First, i bought Affinity for the extension, then I realized that extension can only be used with the Beta version and finally i learn that the Beta version is only available with a very limited purpose (maybe 1% of what affinity offers, what's the point really ?) if to be used as Photos extension.

i have triedFile ▸ Export ▸ Export Unmodified Original within Apple Photos app then drag to or import the file in Affinity Photo but it does not work.

Ok I understand but then it would be great if you could explain how to drag a photo already filed in PHOTOS and send it back to PHOTOS after having made modifications in AFFINITY in between ? I can't find the way...

Hi MEB, I notice that you are based in Lisboa, like me ! Thanks for your comments but the conclusion is that APPLE is promoting PHOTOS with a very important new tool (Affinity) which basically does not work on PHOTOS. You mentioned this would be solved with the next update. Any idea when it will happen ? Otherwise, what is the point for me using Affinity while Aperture is still there ? The main issue to forget about Aperture is to organize the migration of photo base and I have more than 10 000. So i was expecting Affinity to allow me going around this big issue. Now, I see that Affinity is not operating as shown on advertising and guess that I would need to organize the migration of my library if I intend to use Affinity with its full capicity. I look forward to receive your comments. Thanks

it works now. I could open it and the extension is there also.Thank you. But (sorry) when I open Affinity through Photo, it goes directly to this "add/substract" mode (see attached) and I do not how to get to the main page with all the other mode options ?

1. I am running OS 10.11. 2. i have done the right click exercice before letting you know. OS gives me only two options : cancel the opening or throw away the beta version...

Thanks MEB for your concern. I have downloaded the beta version but : 1. Apple does not allow me to open it saying it is dangerous for my computer and offering, as the only option, to throw it in the dust pin... 2. when I go to system preferences, extensions and photos, I still face the same issue. Affinity is not there I have no option to link it. Can you please continue to guide me. thanks
