Lovesphotogirl Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Does Affinity make permanent changes to your original photo? If so, does it create a copy? Dldo is Affinity adding any library/,photo management system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Short answer for one is yes, unless it is a RAW file. Your second question's answer is no.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Saving" the results of your edit creates a file in Affinity's native format and leaves the original untouched. Affinity haven't announced any plans to produce a DAM, but it's been requested many times. Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what you mean under the original photo. It is RAW? Then the answer is "no", nothing is written to the RAW file at his development. I recommend that you protect the original files from being written to (set them flag read-only).

Alfred Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Off topic, you seem to have used your email address as your forum display name. That makes it available to spammers, so you might want to change it to something else.
