For image files, of the supported formats only the TIFF format supports both LAB and CMYK. JPEG supports CMYK. PNG doesn't support either.

Those are not Affinity Photo limitations, but file format limitations.

Basically, it is correct, that jpg is lossy. But, I bet, you won‘t see the difference, if you are using a low or very low compression rate. Especially when you are talking about CMYK. This implies, these images are used for printing purposes (there is no other use of CMYK images). Just be aware, that you need typically 16 x 16 image pixels to display one(!) screening dot in print (150 lpi, 60 l/cm screening). So a moderate jpg compression normally won‘t be noticed on screen and definitely not at all in print.

Unfortunately I don‘t understand a word. So, I have no idea at all, how this is related to your former post and my answer …
