Agypsy

I have just had my iPad replaced, backed up to iCloud immediately before now when I finally got Affinity to reload I have lost absolutely everything that was on there, I has opened as a new install. I had months of edits and folders, now nothing. Is there any way to find and restore them

I am still unable to find a way to open photos in RAW from my desktop and if I do manage to save them back to my camera roll, seems we have come to a dead end and the program is virtually useless for my purpose, I am so disappointed.

Thanks, I think Dan, but where does that leave me? With a reasonable expensive program sitting on my desktop that is almost useless. I can't access photos to process without a long roundabout route and then they may or may not be in Raw, then I can't save them in a place I can find them. I can get plenty of practice in editing though, but to no avail. I must say I am really disappointed as the iPad version has been great, and I just purchased your workbook also at great cost in order to master the process. Not happy.

Ok , changed in edit to RAW the hope in Affinity

Tried 2 ways. in photos edit changed to Image use raw as original 1. tried edit I Affinity from the edit section - same answer, can't open Affinity photos 2. Tried open from Affinity File Open and picked from photos and it opens the file as a TIFF so I am blowed if I know what is happening.

Yes I can open it perfectly from the dock

Found Edit in as you have shown me, but it sends a message that Affinity Photo cannot be launched. Please press Cancel. I haveHigh Sierra 10.13.6 SO I have a problem here somewhere

Just tried that, and the file opened as a Tiff.... this is crazy, the iPad does it just so easily. It this is the way it is I want my money back, I will stick to the iPad Where is the choice to Edit in... please

Thanks, but can't see where the Edit IN is

Thanks for that At the moment I don't know how to get my raw files in, when I click on the edit with Affinity photo it opens in JPEG format, and that's not what I want. So far I have only managed 1 RAW pic , not sure how and then I don't know where it saved the edited photo to. It is so annoying. It is all so much easier in the iPad version. Thanks for the link on saving I will read it all through

I am sure this is a dumb question, but I have just started on the desktop version on iMac , have been using the iPad version for a few months. In the iPad version. Raw files open straight into Raw from my photos and when I save go back there, but I have no idea how to do this on the desktop version. If I try t open from Photos it opens as the JPEG file and I have no idea how and where to access my RAW version and how to open it. I did manage to find one but when I saved it I don't know where it goes or how to save it into photos again. It is so much easier on the iPad . I can see it has saved to a file with a number, but I don't know where. Hope some one can help telling me how to set this up. Cheers

IPad 1.6.9 update, where are the back and forward move buttons please.

The new version has suddenly appeared on my iPad, can you please tell me what has happened to the back step and forward step buttons. They are not above the ? Are they anywhere. This is a pain

Thanks MEB, I can't believe it was that easy, I had no idea what that did and must have knocked it by mistake when I was working on the last image and it stopped in the middle. So many things to learn, I feel so dumb sometimes. Cheers

I am actually working straight from Simons lesson and following his steps exactly, and in his on the layer mask you can see the white blob showing in the layers studio, but it doesn’t on mine. I am trying to change the toadstool to blue from the HSL adjustment.
