THANK YOU CARL! I can't believe I couldn't figure that out. Wow... what an oversight. Now I understand why the files were growing when I put them through Digikam.... I am guessing there was no compression or it was stripping. Does that make sense?? Thanks again.

I am embarking on getting many old photos scanned for my genealogy family history projects and decided to use Amazon Photos for storage as I have a Prime account. Weirdly, they list all the image file types but for tiffs it says "most TIFFS". Guess what..... AP tiffs will not upload. I have tried a work around by exporting a tiff from AP and then taking it to DigiKam and re-exporting. This works most of the time but the file size is often tripled. I know this is a big ask... but might the AP team have a look at this to see if there is a realistic and simpler fix. I use the Affinity products and want to continue. If I export to JPG it works. The problem here is the Genealogy and Historical world have archival guideline standards and they don't include lossy jpgs. Today, the top choice is still a tiff (not even a jpg 2000 or jpg xl).
Thanks. Hope you may be able to help.

I would also like to see the pdf/a formats as well. The PDF/A-1a format is, apparently, fully compliant with ISO standards in the archival world.

Perhaps in V2?

I am not able to finish a mask when in refine edges as the mask disappears and saves I have made are lost. When I close and reopen a lot of the masking touchups are not there and sometimes the mask reverts to the original version. What am I doing wrong???
Thanks

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums
No, it means we have ADDED Big Sur support to our existing list of supported operating systems.
That is so good to hear. Thank you Serif.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I will look into LZW. Archival world standards prefer no compression, but I may decide to go there just to save on some space. Thanks again.
