Janabanana Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hello everyone If I make changes to a picture in Affinity Photo and then export it as a .jpg or .png to my computer, does that exported copy retain all the changes made or do I have to actually save the modified picture as an Affinity file? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The exported image will, of course, contain all the adjustments made, which is easy to try.

kaffeeundsalz Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 It's not really clear what you mean. If you modify an image with Affinity Photo and then export it als JPEG or PNG, the exported image will only contain the final result of your editing process. This means that you will lose all your adjustment layers and live filter layers that you may have applied to your image as well as the entire undo history. If you want to keep these, you'll indeed have to save the image as an Affinity file. Note that the undo history is not part of an Affinity file by default unless you choose File > Save History With Document prior to saving the image.
