Ordered on Dec 30... arrived today, thé AD Workbook. Yeah!! As a study book it's not very practical with the hard cover, can't really keep it open when placed beside my MacBook. Nevertheless, I Love it! ;)

Menu: File > Export

This should be it...

+1 on the double click reset. ...and a Dreamweaver killer from Affinity would be nice too! ;)

Hoi Ruud, I just tested with my A5 Wacom Bamboo and It's very responsive (MacBook Pro i7 2010 8Gb SSD), also with all other apps open like Affinity Photo Beta, Safari, Mail etc. I've tried the beta (it can realy do you no harm installing it besides the App Store version! And its namend Beta, so in your programs you see them side-by-side. The fun part of the beta is that you're able to use new functionality, and it's quite stable!) and I've tried the bought version, both do well with my tablet. I also don't close down my MacBook very often, but do put it to sleep every night (lid closed).

...and a Dutch, French, Arabic, Norwegian, Russian and don't forget a Chinese forum B) . I thought nowadays German people all learn English in school? On the other hand, watching ARD/WDR/ZDF etc... movies are still being synched to German: James Bond is still saying "[...] geschüttelt nicht gerührt", so much fun! It's the same in France. "secouée pas bougé". LOL. I wouldn't mind this keeping forum single language: all English, though I'd rather read in Dutch. :)

Not sure if I understand your question correct but you can already interact with Lightroom from AP, check out this topic. At first it didn't work with me, but now it does. Still don't know what I did wrong. What you have to do is to add Affinity Photo as an external editor in Lightroom (in preferences > external editing), et voila you can edit your photo's in AP; save and return to Lightroom. Hope this helps!

And the answer is no, individual layers are not kept and the image is flattened (see attachment). I've also tested 'Edit original' and 'Edit a copy', same results. LR-AP-LR-AP-LR.mov To compare: I've tested with photoshop as well. No difference, (text-)layer is also gone when re-entering LR and image is flat. LR-PS-LR-PS-LR.mov To be honest, this is exactly what I would expect within LR. It doesn't handle layers. Hope this will answer your question. Remco

Sorry, it didn't show... used the keyboard (CMD+S) to save, before closing the document (CMD+W) so Affinity didn't have to ask me anything. I haven't tested if I could edit the text(layer) again when editing the document for the 2nd time in AP (from LR), will do that for you and post the result. As said, for me this is not very important. When I'm finished with a photo I save it as a 100% jpg and I also keep the 'non-destructed' RAW files in a safe place. The TIFF is going to the bin when I'm finished in LR, I don't keep them. I only collect and post-process photo's in LR, not artwork; so once finished I don't need editable files anymore. p.s. please forgive me for my English, it's not my native tongue and sometimes things are a bit hard to explain... @MikeFromMesa, Thank you very much for your help!! :)

THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP!!! I must have been sleeping, the last couple of days. Just tested again, and :huh: ...ûh it works!! I'm not sure what I did wrong in my previous encounters, but it works the way it should and as I expected (see attachment). WOW, I'm stunned to see it work now as it didn't before! Can you comment on my previously posted export preferences. Are they okay? Thanks! LR-AP-LR_TEST.mov

Correct! I understand LR doesn't eat .afphoto files and I agree, it's most unlikely Abode will ever support it. But AP does have an option to save (export) to TIFF, the format LR uses interacting with photoshop. Photo's are flat when they are sent from Lightroom to AP, aren't they? So personally I don't mind if it's the same "on their way back". I don't need layers in Lightroom, so a flat TIFF would do fine (for me at least)... The workaround for now is: 1) "Edit in..." from Lightroom > AP 2) Retouched image exported from AP to TIFF 3) Import in Lightroom. Step 2 & 3 are automated when using photoshop when you press "Save". It just appears back in Lightroom, as a second file. Would be great if this could be done from AP!

Hello, I use the "Edit in..." option in Lightroom, to optimize my workflow. 1) Which are the best settings for AP to use? I've now copied the standard Photoshop settings, which were already in de preferences panel. It works, but I don't know if these are the optimal settings to use. 2) From photoshop the edited image 'returns' to Lightroom. This doesn't seem to work with AP. Is this 'by design' or am I doing something wrong? I'd love to see that the edited image is presented as a edited image in Lightroom when I'm finished in AP. Thanks for your help! Remco

Hi from The Netherlands! I'm not a professional designer, but I do have great interest in designing stuff (logo's, leaflets, websites etc.) and retouching/editing photo's as I also am a hobby photographer. Up to now I've been using Adobe CS4 Web ('student edition') products. Primarily photoshop, illustrator and dreamweaver. Never upgraded to the latest version, it's way too expensive for non-professional users and 'cloud-only'. I was very excited when I saw Affinity Designer and been using it since november, and I'm having so much fun with it! Recently I also installed Affinity Photo Beta, so most of my Adobe products are no longer in use. The only thing I still "need" to replace is Dreamweaver (haven't found a affordable replacement yet) & Lightroom, and then I'll finally be Adobe-Free. That 'll be the day! Thank you Affinity for your products and keep up the good work! I like the way you include your user base in developing new features, testing the beta's etc. It's great to see so much enthusiasm in your team! Best regards, Remco p.s. I'm more of a 'forum-lurker' not so much a contributor. Sorry for that.
