Geoff Pym Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 While editing Photos directly in the Photo app on my MacBook I am unable to save the Editing done using the Affinity Extensions offered since upgrading to the macOS Catalina 10.15. Is there a fix coming ? Thanks sevenpineshomestead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Gibbs Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I am also having the same problems, the editing you do cannot be saved on a Mac using Catalina, this appears to be an issue with everyone using Affinity after upgrading to Catalina on the Mac. Will Affinity fix this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papapeo Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Good afternoon, emmrecs01, this link has been passed to me to keep you informed of the problems with macOs Catalina I also have difficulties between Apple Photos and Affinity. I would like someone to answer this question that I have: Before taking out a definitive version of the operating system (Apple) they are supposed to make beta versions so that software manufacturers, in this case Affinity, can verify that everything works with their products. It is like that or it would have to be Apple who solved the problem. Catalina 10.15.1 does not solve the problem. Sorry for my bad English. Thank you.

plattis Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Just a gentle reminder about this persisting problem. I have noted that some competing photo editors have received updates that solves the issue with saving edits back to Photos.app in Catalina. can we expect the same for Affinity Photo? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 8, 2019 Hi plattis, Welcome to Affinity Forums This is being investigated as we speak. We will let you all know as soon as there's some news from the dev team.

Steve108 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Not only can you not save edits back to Apple Photos but any previous edits that you have saved, before Catalina, can not be exported. The edits are lost and a jpeg of the original image is exported. This means that any edits that you made prior to Catalina can not be accessed. Another undesirable feature is that any images edited in Affinity Photo and saved to Apple Photos, prior to Catalina, can not be duplicated in Apple Photos. The Beta version was released in June and these problems have been known since then. There was no warning issued by Serif. This is very bad customer care from Serif, we have been badly let down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenC Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Please clarify: are we trying to save a *.afphoto or export a *.JPG? Surely only the latter could be accepted by Photos? Also an earlier post to this forum claimed to have solved this problem, though I have not tested it myself.* https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/91443-affinity-photo-has-stopped-saving-directly-back-into-mac-os-photos/&page=3&tab=comments#comment-542222 *[added later] Instructions on adding a $1 app and using it do not make sense to me. Possibly OS has changed since creation of the app. Unable to return AP-edited photo to Photos library except by AP export and Photos import. Trivia: can not duplicate photo in Photos. Affinity Photo displays file *.JPG as *.jpeg in title bar area at top. Edited November 10, 2019 by LenC Additional experience with app referenced in my original posting.

baysmith Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 New to Affinity Photo. This is a crucial problem and I am experiencing the same thing. Take a photo from Apple Photos and use the Affinity Extension to get to Affinity Photo. Make edits and find that there is no simple way to get the photo back into Apple Photos. Three months is enough time to solve this problem, especially since the beta version of Catalina has been out for over a year. iMac 27" Core i7 running MacOS 10.15.2.

ethereal7 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Still no news? It's becoming really frustrating and affecting my work flow severely...

Staff MEB Posted January 2, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hi ethereal7, Welcome to Affinity Forums I'm sorry for the inconvenience this is causing you. This issue should be fixed in the upcoming Affinity Photo 1.8 - we already have a fix for it but it still has to pass the QA testing. Thanks for your support and patience.

As we don’t have a macOS beta release, is the outlook months for QA/beta? The problem has affective so many, if not all macOS users using Apple Photos and iCloud as their daily driver, it also seems totally unfair, even as many repeatedly reported the low AP cost. A new car, without a working engine, is useless.

My concern, Serif has not publicly, to my knowledge, warned those prior to purchasing macOS version AP of problem. Buy today, tires will be furnished in the future.

Curious as why you would delay purchase of iMac, just for problems with AP. The new iMac’s are great, as is Catalina. Every program has bugs, beta’s to fix and upgrades. No guarantees AP will fix all problems, without creating new ones, such is life in all OS upgrades.

My current iMac runs everything. If AP has problems there's no use trading everything for something less than that. I would rather wait until I hear AP is doing well before the switch.

In this topic (now split out from the beta announce one), @Patrick Connor mentions in this post that there is a potential fix for this issue built into it, but because it does not work in all circumstances, it is not listed in the announce topic as a fix.

vincenthird Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hi, a little "up" to this issue. It seems the v1.8 (v1.8.3 as of now) is not fixing this (very annoying) issue. AP is such a good tool to edit the pictures (especially the old ones I am scanning) and it's a pity not being able to use it. The AP add-on in Photos are not so bad, but very limited. Please let us know if there is any progress on the fix or any available workaround. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
