chris s Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Can anyone tell me how I can make Affinity my default editing program, so that when I load images from the built in SD reader, they will open and load in Affinity instead of Photos?

MacGueurle Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 It can easily be done. Left-click once on an untouched original photo of yours to highlight it, then right-click it and from the drop-down that appears, select «Get info» from the list. A new window will open. In that window, select «Affinity Photo» from the drop-down menu in the «Open with:» section to change the application that will open files with the same file format in the future. That ought to do the trick. This is what the window looks like : http://images40.fotki.com/v1075/photos/5/2952655/12412563/example2-vi.png Quote Affinity Designer 1.6 Affinity Photo 1.6.6 Canon EOS 50D iMac 27" 3,4 GHz Intel Core i7 32 GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonatoF Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Just an additional note, once you've selected Affinity Photo, click on the "Change all" button, otherwise just that one file will be changed. Note that this will change files with that particular extension, if you use more than one for the same type of image (.jpg, .jpeg) you will need to repeat for each extension.

DoctorChas Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 There's an alternative and arguably better way of doing this: with the SD card inserted, launch Image Capture from the Applications folder (or just use Spotlight). Your device will appear in the column on the left. In the bottom left corner of the window is a small arrow icon in a box—if it's pointing up, click it to open the panel. You can now choose which application to open when the card is inserted, or you can choose No Application. This same trick works for any device: for example, if you wanted your iPhone to launch Aperture, attach the phone, launch Image Capture and set your launch option to taste. =:~) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard66447 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 If I launch the Apple app - "Photos" on my macbook I can see & edit all my photos that are on my iPhone. Is there an easy way of doing the same with Affinity Photo? i.e. editing an iPone photo? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
