Suggestion.. TGA Bit Depth and RLE Compression

[bsohn]

Hello, Im not sure if this is where I should be putting this but. I have a suggestion... need for the TGA Export to have Bit Depth choice and RLE Compression.. (basically like Photoshop Has).. I am trying to get away from photoshop completely as the could price is just So expensive for the random things that I do but currently it still has everything that I need. I decided to try out Affinity and I really like it but every so often I will find things that just don't work well enough and this is one of those things. 

The Purpose I use TGA w/RLE and bit depth is I do Gaming paints and the programs that use these paints ONLY accepts 24 or 32bit RLE Compressed TGA files.

With the latest thing I have done I ended up going from Photoshop to Affinity Photo and Back to Photoshop for the TGA output which of course makes you question why even work in Affinity Photo..

To others if you may have a suggestion for a free TGA output program that would do this conversion from one of the Affinity File formats to the RLE TGA for the mac please let me know as it seems very wrong to be going back and forth to the program I am trying to get away from.

same problem here. TGA files are huuuuge without compression.

GIMP, except you will still need to export it from the Affinity software as something else, import that into GIMP, then export as TGA.

Only the Affinity apps can read the native Affinity format.
