Photo PC Export to jpeg shows all layer edits

[Aftershaft]

Hi,

I just completed the Photo tutorial.  When exporting the file to jpeg, the relighting, erase brush, HSL adjustment, curves adjustment etc... all show in the  jpeg.  I can see the erase brush and relighting (?) after touching up the stone path in the jpeg file. 

There are no instructions in the tutorial, search engines, help file, etc.. to not have them display in the exported file.

I have attached the jpg file.

Have you tried flattening the image prior to export by going to (main menu at the top of the affinity app) Document > Flatten (bottom of dropdown menu)

Can you attach the finished APhoto file, because that should not be happening

It appears that your .afphoto file did not upload correctly. Please try again.

I cannot open your file, either with the retail or beta version of Affinity Photo. The error is 'filetype is not supported.' Are you sure you uploaded an actual .afphoto file & not something else with just a renamed extension?

ACDSee Photo Editor somehow took over the association of the Affinity Photo .afphoto file.  I changed Win10 to associate it with Affinity Photo.  But I was able to open it with Affinity Photo regardless

Let's see if this works now.

No luck.

Retail (1.7) says it's an unsupported file type. Beta (1.8) says it can't be parsed.

I'm not sure if that means it uploaded incorrectly, or if it means it is corrupted. If it still opens in your copy of Photo (or if you still have it open in Photo) try File > Save As under a different name, and upload that. Also, if you have an account with DropBox or any other file sharing site, you could upload there and generate a sharing link to give to us. Sometimes that's the only way to move such large files around successfully.

Sorry this is being such a problem.  Thank you for hanging in there Walt!

See the screen grab Fig.1 below, set the layers to look like they do in the screen grab, the erase brush layer is actually your relighting layer and as you can see in the screen grab I've set it to blend mode: overlay and opacity to 35%. This gives you approx the effect you should have. You need to neaten the Erase brush layer up to follow the path better so it doesn't show those overlapped edges. 
Fig.1

Set a Basic Erase brush up like this in Fig.2 and tidy the erase brush layer to look more like Fig.3
Fig.2

Fig.3 I've changed the blend mode and opacity to show you how it should look, just change it back to Overlay and 35% opacity after you have done tidying it up. It should now look more like Fig.4

Fig.4

I don't have the workbook but as a side note, if the tutorial doesn't mention it I would inpaint out the plane trails as well.

I didn't notice them until you pointed them out!

I did the tutorial again (https://affinityspotlight.com/article/jump-into-affinity-photo/?utm_source=SpotlightEmail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter) but this time I did not erase the sides of the path because I did not have to (I was more careful when highlighting the path) and it looks like the export to .jpg is the same as the .awphoto file.

I saved the image after each step so I may go back and mess up the path touchup so I have to erase the overflow onto the grass and see if that change shows up on the export.

Thanks you.

Hi,

How do I get from fig 3 to fig4 (not have the erase brush effect show)?

Because if I export it to jpg, the path is highlighted like it is in your figure 3.

In a previous reply, I said it exported correctly but I did not use the erase brush on the sides of the path and probably did not do the "Brushing over the stone path to brighten it." step correctly.

Thanks

I do not get it why JPEG export should make this hilite visible. Export should export the image just as it shows in AP working window.

I am using dropbox links to my public folder because uploading files to this forum rarely works.
