That worked Walt but FYI when you hold CTL and click the icon iy opens the icon menu. You then select open and it works like a charm. Be safe. Stay healthy. We need you!

Glad you see the issue. I purchased AP through the Apple App store. That sight just pushed an update on 4/3. (Note: After update I lost the ability to save from AP editing directly back to Photos, been down that road before and just use workaround) MacOS 10.15.4 AP version 1.8.3. Using only one monitor. This issue developed when I did an Edit in Affinity Photo swap and tried to save back to Photos. I went to the Photos screen to cancel the save operation and I had a weird shut down of both AP and Photos editing. When I tried again from Photos I got AP back but there was nothing but a black screen. What tools you see in the screen shot I restored manually. Thanks for the quick help.

I have the same problem and started by trying to restore tool bars and panels. When I hit the tab key to tools I've restored goes away to just black screen. I have none of the top tool bar rools. This includes everything that was there. Develop selection, automatic color, contrast and white balance, snapping, all the default tools. I'd really like to get this working again. I've used the product for several years and never had this happen. Thanks for any help. Screen shot attahced

After enduring disappoint with the AP/Photos editing issues described by all since June 2019, I decided to try the Edit With Affinity interface once again. As recently as two months ago the process simply failed every time in one way or another. Tonight, to my astonishment and joy, the functionality is back. I did nothing magical or tech smart. Just kept all apps up to date and OS too. i understand the frustration we all have with the app but all I can say is keep trying it regularly. The fix may be there without it seeming apparent.

RCR Thanks for the tip. Works beautifully. I must admit I didn't even know that function was available! And since I often sharpen in Photos instead of Affinity it fits fine with the workflow. Again, thanks!

I am having the same issue but I don't see any resolution posted here. I am using v 1.7.0 to edit/process images opened from Mac Photos by using the short cut in Photos to load to Affinity. I have tried just the CMD S function, I have tried closing the file and answering Save and nothing works to update the image back to Photos. I have resorted to Exporting the image to desktop then drag and drop back to Photos which does place the image back in the date sequence but I still have two images where once I could simply update the one. This slows productivity way down. Any idea when this might get fixed?

Thanks firstdefence!

I'm new to Affinity Photo for Mac but a long time user of Paint Shop Pro for Windows. I see the healing brush tool tutorial mentioned in a few posts and I have scanned the list from top to bottom twice including a "Find" word search on the web page and I cannot find the tutorial. Can someone send me a link, please. And thanks for this spectacularly good photo editing product. It blows the competition away. - desertrat
