Although the place filter allows me to pick a JPEG2000 image in the variations JP2 or J2K this is not working. Step 1: Place file, nothing happens in the document. Step 2: Create an image frame and try to place the image there -> Publisher instantly crashes. Files were saved from Photoshop CS6. delete-stylejpg2000.jp2 delete-stylejpg2000.j2k

Hi - I'm scanning B&W negs from a flatbed in 16-bit using Silverfast, and saving them as jp2. Opening them Affinity Photo results in a warning that it is being assigned an RGB profile because none is assigned; the resultant image is B&W noise. What am I missing?

Hi @rseals, Welcome to Affinity Forums I believe we already have a similar issue logged but do you mind attaching a sample jp2 from Silverfast to check and add to our report (or fill a new one if none exists) please? Thank you.

Please can you make a post about this in questions with a sample that does not work as JP2/JPF is newly added and may need some tweaks.

Hello, I am a stubborn lifetime Serif user. I have used Drawplus since I was 17 years old when version 4 was free and version 6 was new. I loved it and still use X8 today. I said I would not buy Affinity Designer until it has a gradient mesh tool but, I just want it too much. I am probably going to buy it today. Okay, so, with that decision, here is my question. It is both an Affinity and a CommunityPlus question so I will ask both places but I feel this may be the better place to ask. If I wanted to make an illustration in Affinity Designer, then export it in a format that DrawPlus X8 can read, and then use DrawPlus X8 to add a few meshes here and there, possibly add a missing nose to a face or add a complex glare to a shaped metal item, which format would be the best one to export my Designer image in? I think my choices are probably svg eps smf and maybe pdf. I thought perhaps since these programs are from the same devs, perhaps one of these formats out of Designer would be read well by DrawPlus X8. Sure, elements will need to be flattened, no doubt, but, which format will keep the most? If it is better that I use CorelDraw or Inkscape for the final mesh phase that works also, just let me know, but I prefer Drawplus overall, which is why I am excited to learn Designer finally. CorelDraw is sort of famous for having wider format import support than many, so that may be better if there is a good format I do not know of that Affinity Designer and CorelDraw both support but DrawPlus X8 does not support. I am not very in the know on new formats or which vector formats Affinity is best with. PSD is great for collaborating on rasters but it is unclear which is the best one to collaborate with different software for a vector design. I do not subscribe to software, but aside from soon having Designer, I have Serif DrawPlus X8, CorelDraw X8, and can install Inkscape if needed. Since this is not a CorelDraw forum I will post the import formats supported by my version of Corel. The goal again is to export an Affinity Designer image to a program that has a mesh vector fill for a final edit and to retain as many vectors as vectors as possible, flattening as little as necessary of the Designer image in the transition to the other program. Here are the common files CorelDraw imports. There is a longer list at the link. • Adobe Illustrator (AI)• Adobe Type 1 Font (PFB)• Windows Bitmap (BMP)• OS/2 Bitmap (BMP)• Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM)• CorelDRAW (CDR)• Corel Presentation Exchange (CMX)• Corel PHOTO-PAINT (CPT)• Corel Symbol Library (CSL)• Cursor Resource (CUR)• Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX, or RTF)• Microsoft Publisher (PUB)• Corel DESIGNER (DES, DSF, DS4, or DRW)• AutoCAD Drawing Database (DWG) and AutoCAD Drawing Interchange Format (DXF)• Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)• PostScript (PS or PRN)• GIF• JPEG (JPG)• JPEG 2000 (JP2)• Kodak Photo CD Image (PCD)• PICT (PCT)• PaintBrush (PCX)• Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF)• HPGL Plotter File (PLT)• Portable Network Graphics (PNG)• Adobe Photoshop (PSD)• Corel Painter (RIF)• Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)• Adobe Flash (SWF)• TARGA (TGA)• TIFF• Corel Paint Shop Pro (PSP)• TrueType Font (TTF)• Visio (VSD)• WordPerfect Document (WPD)• WordPerfect Graphic (WPG)• RAW camera file formats• Wavelet Compressed Bitmap (WI)• Windows Metafile Format (WMF) https://support.corel.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005407707-CorelDRAW-Graphics-Suite-X8-Supported-file-formats Thank you.

Thanks, it is the file that I cannot place in Publisher. SD_02_T33_6328_U2_X_EC_90.jp2

Thanks, perhaps I found the reason. It is a jpeg file but end with *.jp2 So it crashed. Thanks you reminded me file type would be root cause. Now problem solved. Thank you

When I open the JPF file with Preview App it does display it normally. When I go to export it gives me the options of JPEG, JPEG2000, TIFF, PNG, and OpenXLR. Exporting to JPG, JP2, TIFF, or PNG converts it to 8 bit RGB. But when I export to OpenXLR the result is RGB 32 bit. The OpenXLR file that gets created does have all of the original colors that were in the display, but they are more saturated and lighter. The heavier saturation and lightness can be adjusted if necessary. After readjusting the color saturation and lightness I then convert the OpenXLR file into TIFF 16 bit LAB. Like I mentioned in another reply I will only do this for JPF files that do not have photo print for me to rescan or an NEF version that can be reprocessed. Got to leave in 10 minutes to do some photography work so if you reply to this I will check for your reply either late this evening or tomorrow morning.

Are you sure either one really supports this or just converts the files to the .jp2 standard at 8 bps & RGB?

OK, on that page the text does say, "Grayscale, RGB, CMYK, and Lab are the only modes supported by the JPEG 2000 format," but it doesn't say anything that I can find about the Part 2 extension that the .jpf extension is supposed to indicate that bit depth is specified in floating point notation, which allows significantly greater that 16 bpc color depth. In fact, it only mentions 16 bit color or greyscale, the sample .jpf file is according to the header "RGB8*" (whatever that is supposed to mean), & there is nothing I can find on the rest of the page that indicates .jpf is a separate "Save as..." option with additional options to use FP notation. The J2K download page seems to say about the same thing as the Part 1 spec that the jpeg.org page does, & says it "features" 16 bit compression. From other sources, it appears that the ".j2k" extension is supposed to be used for "experimental" purposes, apparently for files that do not (or did not) meet the ISO Part 1 standard in some way or another. The plugin does show a JPX format option with a "Float encoding" checkbox, & a "Custom bit depth" option, but unless it is in some other part of the plugin window, there is nothing to choose which color mode will be used. The second sample shown on the Samples page seems to make no distinction among the 4 JPEG 2000 extensions shown, which can't be right, & the sample file itself opens as a .jp2 version. Somewhere in all of this I guess there must be a definitive answer about PS support vs. everything else, but to me it is just a muddled mess.

In Other apps that can open jp2 files, the colours are wrong too (green and red), and Image Magick report a warning: Bad COLR header box (bad size: 35).

The original file was .jpf but I did create copies and renamed them to .JPF, .jp2, and .j2K and not one of them would open. I originally bought Affinity Photo from the Apple App Store back in 2017. Since then the App Store has updated the Affinity Photo program several times and the last update I got was 1.7.2 I just checked the App Store and there are no further updates for my version of Affinity Photo. So 1.7.2 is as high as mine will go. I don't have the other Affinity Apps, just don't need they others. If you want to try and convert one of my files here is the one I have been experimenting with. It is the original .jpf version saved by Photoshop CS5. Chris Birthday009.jpf

No, as I said I do not have any JPEG 2000 files that were created with the (non-standard) .jpf extension. However, from what I can find online about the JPEG 2000 file format, the .jpf, .jp2, & .jpk extensions all should refer to the same format, one that conforms to the ISO/IEC 15444-1 "baseline" standard. Edit: apparently, the "f" signifies floating point 16 or 32 bit depths, as specified in the "Part 2" ISO/IEC 15444-2 standard, so I am guessing that some apps like the Affinity ones can't handle that. I am not sure what you mean by "will not update to 1.7.3" but as my sig below my posts show, I am running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 & versions 1.7.3 of all three Affinity apps. If you can attach one of your JPEG 2000 files created in Photoshop CS5 to a new post, I can try opening it on my Mac if you want. Or maybe if you change the extension from ".JPF" (all caps) to the lowercase ".jpf" it will work for you.

Maybe it is intended but if so it seems strange that in the Mac version raster image filed can be opened through the Finder, or via drag & drop onto the app's icon. This behavior occurs because Publisher's info.plist file includes "CFBundleType Extensions" key/value pairs for these (& many other) raster image filetypes, including bmp, jxr, j2k, jp2, webp, tga, & even a bunch of RAW formats. CFBundleType Extensions key/value pairs in an app's info.plist file is the standard way for an app to declare to the Mac OS that it can open a file with a particular extension. It is what the Finder "Open with" right-click option uses to populate that list & if dragging & dropping a file onto an app's icon it should pass the file to that app. (It does not guarantee that the app can open the file, only that it will be passed to it.) I did not check every filetype in the key/value list but all that I did check including several RAW filetypes did open in Publisher! Since Publisher has no Develop Persona of its own, not even via StudioLink, I am not quite sure what to make of that -- the RAW files open at their full pixel resolution so they are not thumbnails or previews. They open as single "(Pixel)" layer files using (I think) the default ICC color profile set in Preferences > Color, but they have a dull, underexposed look different from with the Mac Quick Look feature, using Apple's RAW Engine in Affinity Photo, or even using that app's Serif Engine with all corrections & enhancements turned off. In fact, I just now checked the Finder > Open In & drag & drop behavior of Affinity Designer & it also will open RAW files, with the same appearance as is Publisher. However, Designer does not grey out any of the raster image file formats in its File > Open menu -- only Publisher does that. For the curious, TypeExtensions.txt is a plain text list of the array of key values of item 2 of the CFBundleTypeExtensions key of Publisher for Macs' info.plist file. There are 71 extensions in the array, although AFAIK a few are neither raster nor vector image file formats.

Hi @orangecowboy, Welcome to the forums! Can you upload the jp2 file causing the issue? The files I have here all seem to be importing fine Thanks

Hi, it appears that Photo not only can't read jpeg 2000 files, but even crashes on the attempt! This obviously has already been a problem in 1.6 Please find attached an example file and a crash log. Affinity Photo_2019-08-19-160126_GUJNM265965.crash Ikea_Rattan_sessel_.jp2
