Hi ! 

This message is addressed to Affinity Photo developers and especially to those who have worked on 'export' features.

Affinity is the best alternative to Photoshop and I use it more and more. I noticed that Affinity Photo could read TIFFs with text layers in both cases:

  1. Text layer
  2. Layer with text box.

Well done... you're the only ones who succeed.

I am (my company has a digital comics platform) developing an AI with the University of La Rochelle in France capable of analyzing comic book page complex structures (panel, bubble, text, character, etc. ••• 4 years of works) and I would need to develop an export in TIFF format containing the text layers.

But you don't seem to support the export function. The Text layers are automatically rasterized from Affinity Photo. Probably with 'annotate'

I wanted to know if these were the "private tags" in the TIFF format that only photoshop could do. 
If you had a lead to solve this?

If potentially we could have a discussion/collaboration on that particular feature which gives an advantage to photoshop without any open source alternative existing… it could be great.

Either 'image magick' or 'gimp' or on any open source solution hasn't solve that … for what it seems an unsolved problem for more than 20 years!

Hopefully we can start a dialogue on this with an expert on your side… if you want and are open to it.
Thank you.

OK thanks for the response.

Our A.I. will be used by the main comics publisher in France to improve its translation process. A place where Adobe rules.

We're interested to export comic book page this text layers directly from our software.

Could you be interested to allow us to export into TIFF with your own tags? And promote an Affinity compatibility in publishing industry.
