AP 1.8.4 Apple Photos will Not Save

[Cecil 206]

Disappointed, not surprised, cannot Edit In Apple Photo and Save 1.8.4.  Five Stars for longevity award.

Will not saved any of my changes back to Apple Photos.  12 months any counting  to correct this problem.  As Apple iCloud and Photos serve as my DAM, this is a problem.  This was well known before pandemic so Affinity, “WHAT “ is the problem?  What has been done to attempt to fix the problem?

Hi both,

This has not been marked as Fixed yet. Sorry

Edit photos on a MAC with Catalina didn't work since more than 12 months.

How long should we wait?

The next OS is in the pipeline...

 

What is the problem?

Just adding that I am also experiencing this very frustrating bug. Happy to share system/software/photo library information with Affinity if they need more data to work on a fix.

I guess it could be relevant that Affinity Photo is not shown in System Preferences | Security & Privacy | Privacy | Photos and there is no obvious way to add it.

The workaround of committing an edit to a photo in Photos first before editing that photo in Affinity Photo works for me (2/2 so far). In both cases I chose Auto Red-Eye as an action that would have minimal or no material effect on the photos.

I assume this has always been the case, but with a photo edited in this way I can successfully do Revert to Original or Undo Edit in Apple Photos to undo the AP edit, but it's a one-way process as undoing either of these actions has no effect on the photo.

I have been editing jpegs only, so far.

The issue remains and occurs very often on macOS Big Sur 11.1 using Affinity Photo 1.8.6 (App Store). It happens for me when editing JPEG files or ARW (Sony cameras).
