Puck Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Hello, unfortunately APhoto Beta 1.8.0.163 is not able to open Tif-files, no matter whether via the menu (Command-O) or directly with a right mouse click (Open with ...) JPGs, PNGs, SVGs, EPS and aphoto-files works normal.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted January 8, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 8, 2020 "not able to" as in tries and fails, or "not able to" as in the file is not showing in the open dialog? If the former, are you able to provide a sample file there are tens (possibly hundreds) of variants defined in the tif file format.

Old Bruce Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Hmmm... Very odd. I did a quick test and exported a couple of files from the beta. IMG_2466 bta 1 has the include affinity layers on and it opens in the beta and the retail, the other export IMG_2466 bta 2 has no include affinity layers and it will not open in the beta via the open dialog or using a right click and open with ... Both open fine in the retail version and the open dialog has the thumbnail for the 'bad' 2 version but a standard OS TIFF icon and the bad 2 won't open in Preview. Sizes are wildly different too. sizes Open dialog in beta Preview fail If you want I can zip them up.

I would expect size differences if you saved Affinity layers in one of them.

They are all tif-files which can be opened in Photo 1.7.3 without problems. I created them in APhoto. And as "Old Bruce" mentioned, tiffs with layers can be opened in the beta (I just discovered that because I usually never save tiffs with layers.) Unfortunately uploading a Tif does not work.

A TIFF with Affinity Layers saved is, I think, the normal TIFF (e.g., for you, 97MB) plus the .afphoto file (including history, snapshots, etc.). -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwhit Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Yup, just tried an old TIFF and it wouldn't open at all. Didn't crash the program but would not open. This TIFF was not made in Affinity. From quite a few years ago, shows created in PS 7. It does Open in APh 1.7.3 and does Place just fine in APub beta 523.
