[Affinity Photo extension for Mac Photos app not retaining edits in Affinity Photo]

Hello R C-R,

Thanks for the idea… I tried that sequence, and it does not fix the issue.

It's funny, but I found and read through the link that you sent, just this afternoon!

I may have missed something, but I don't think I found a definitive answer in that article either. I guess I'll see if anyone else chimes in on this as well.

Thanks again!

[Affinity Photo extension for Mac Photos app not retaining edits in Affinity Photo]

Hello,

I use the Affinity Photo Extension inside of the Mac Photos app. Here is the workflow…

1) I do some basic edits on an image in the Photos app

2) Then I'll open the image inside of Affinity Photo using the "extension" inside of Mac Photos app. (Note: this is where the problem appears, i.e., the edits that I made to the image in Photos don't appear in Affinity Photo)

3) There, I perform more of the heavy-duty editing chores.

4) Finally, I save the image in Affinity, close it, and then go back to the Mac Photos app and save it there. 

The problem is that, as noted above, the edits that I first made in Mac Photos don't appear when I open that image via the extension in Affinity Photo.

I've attached a screenshot that just shows step #2 listed above.

Can anyone help me solve this issue, as it would otherwise be a deluxe workflow for my purposes. Thanks!

BTW MEB,

Can you tell me how long it generally takes to hear back from the Dev team. Just curious, as this is the first time I've submitted a bug. Thanks again!

Hi Mitchla,

Thanks for the heads up. I will check this up and fill a bug report. From your description seems we have issues importing text on PSD's exported from Pixelmator.

I did have Import PSD text as text rather than bitmap set in prefs already.  When I opened the PSD doc, I got a warning saying:

Bad text data

Bad text data

Bad text data

Bad text data

 

 

I'm using Affinity Photo v1.6.6 and I am still having this problem. When I export a document from Pixelmator as a PhotoShop file, then attempt to open it using Photo, I get the "Bad text data" alert and the Text layers don't come across as Text layers, but bitmapped layers.

I do have the preferences set to import PSD text as text rather than bitmap. I'm using v3.7 of Pixelmator. I've attached a very simple Pixelmator-to-PhotoShop .psd file for your examination.

Thank you for your assistance with this issue, as I'm trying to convert my old Pixelmator documents over to Photo.
