Thanks much your replies. The other threads made for an interesting read. I guess my approach will be to make the edits I need, and export the results as jpeg. I have no need to keep the affinity photo file most of the time.

I've made some simple edits of a 17.9 MP JPEG using a few layers. When I save the file in the Affinity Photo format, the file is 225 MB, which is more than 10 times the size of the original RAW file. Is there a way to optimize this? With files this large I can't justify the disk space. Please advise.
