I noticed the problem I keep having when trying to save a photo I opened in photos is that Affinity will only allow me to save the file once and on the second attempt and saving will not allow me to save.
-
Thanks Callum, Good call - that fixed it. Nice to see the Affinity layers being preserved in LR :)
Did that not happen in previous versions? I can't remember if I tried to open images in Affinity from LR.

Cutting down on the time you have to keep switching between the applications seems like it would be very helpful.

Great! That should be one of it's biggest advantages over Adobe.
-
It depends on several factors and it often works for some and not others. Illustrator had problems on El Capitan but I never looked into fixing much since I am not a fan of illustrator. Sierra comes out Sept. 20 so we will have to wait and see how many versions of CS6 it ends up breaking. I usually wait about three months or so before upgrading but I might not upgrade on my desktop if it ends up breaking CS6.
-
The interesting thing about Affinity's file format is that it uses the same files across the different apps in the suite. This means that any projects I make with Designer I will probably be able to open in Publisher. I have heard that CS6 doesn't work on the new Sierra so maybe I will just stay with Affinity alone when upgrading to Sierra on my Mac. Perhaps I will keep my desktop on El Capitan so I can run Adobe. Maybe later versions of Sierra will run CS6?

It would be surprising if Publisher didn't offer some vector and bitmap capabilities!
lol!

@krollian Yes, Freehand worked pretty well for putting objects inside of other objects, much easier then illustrator.
@retrograde Now I understand what you meant by distort. I don't use that kind of effect too much so it shouldn't be a problem.
@Petar_MK Extra emphasis on the word "some" in that sentence. I realize that if I want to do some layout work such as book layouts I will have to resort to using InDesign on my other computer. Can't wait for Affinity Publisher to come out!
-
@retrograde I don't distort type as my graphic design instructors were upset with the students that did that!
@bleduc The UI features is something Serif has been trying to push. I was thinking more about replacing some of my InDesign jobs with Affinity. Frames is another thing I thought about how I would replace with Affinity. I use frames for cropping photos like this for an example. I don't immediately remember how you do that with Affinity, seems like you use a layer mask?Schedule

I do a lot of basic layout work like mailers and such and was wondering how well Designer works in this area. I used to use Freehand as a layout tool way back and found that it actually sometimes worked better then PageMaker which was a real layout program. My laptop is currently Adobe free and I am considering the possibility of keeping it that way.
-
Yes, the adjustments are mostly tonal in this case so everything came across great! One slightly odd thing was that the adjustments from the image that I was exporting from lost it's adjustments some time after I exported the LUTs. It wasn't too big of a deal since I was able to just reimport the LUTs but it doesn't seem like that would have happened.
-
I have two photos that are almost exactly alike and one them has been edited. Is there a way in AF to copy the settings from the one corrected photo over to the other similar to Lightroom / Camera Raw?
-
It seems like I have run into a serious bug that deleted my curves adjustment layer, got rid of inpainting adjustments and depleted my history. I think I was just scrubbing the history bar and it all disappeared. Will clicking revert get me back to my last saved state? I am pretty sure it's a big rather then user error since I have never had anything like this happen with a stable build of Affinity Photo or Photoshop.
UPDATE: It looks like some but not all of the inpainting edits were saved before this happened.
I hate to say this but it looks like the failed to save document bug is back. It is no where near as common as it was with the last beta.
UPDATE 2: I tried another edit from Affinity which was able to save back to Photos but when I reopen the file in Affinity the changes made in the last session got lost.
I am not sure why the forums keep posting "Schedule" at the end of my posts.

@Andy Failing to save doesn't seem to be a problem anymore although the "edit in" extension is no longer in Photos.
-
I was wondering if I could get some clarification on this:
- Fixed “Edit In” extension (you will need the latest macOS Sierra beta).
Is this a fix for the save error I was getting? -
For some reason it didn't save the attachment but the error message said:
Failed to save doc. Apple Photos doc
Save failed because the file was already open in another application.
Oddly it seems that all the changes were brought over to Apple Photos but I can't see the changes when I open it in Affinity.

ScheduleR C-R Can I make "scale with object" to be the default so I don't have to select it each time?

Dave, When I made my original post I don't think the extensions feature was available, at least not from within Photos. I have now used extensions from Affinity and Pixelmator and they work great! It's a pretty neat idea to use the features inside of the program rather then having to switch to the more advanced program if you only need a few features. It would be nice if there was a way to have those features come up by default so they wouldn't even have to be selected each time you click edit.
-
While you are making changes to save and open could you also incorporate the standard way that Mac apps let you save from the menu bar? Also the duplicate, rename, move to, revert to, features are enormously helpful rather then having to switch over to the Finder to search for those files and then work with them. Tagging files seems especially problematic since when I save them from the save as menu they don't get saved. I usually have to go into the Finder to save those tags.

Not for me it didn't. For me nothing happened at all.

Too big! There wasn't a note about maximum file size so I didn't try to downscale far enough. It might be helpful tell people about the file size limit when they upload. Thanks for the help.
-
I took down my old profile pic and tried uploading a new one but nothing happened. Is this a bug?
Does anyone use Designer for doing basic layouts?

That is fine. The discussion on resizing was very useful to me. I just didn't reply since I was working on something else.
