JPNE Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I have Affinity 1.8.4 which works fine with my Mac OSX when using the HDR facility. My question is "Does the .afphoto file produced keep a record of the individual file names which were used generate the composite file, and is this information accessible?". I would comment that for a 300+ MB file size, one could reasonable expect this information to be readily available. Many apologies if I have missed it and the information is already there.

Nick Edwards Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I thank Walt Farell for his response which I have now confirmed independently. I think that NOT being able to recall the individual file names which make up the composite .afphoto file is an omission on Affinity Photo's part. I think the omission would be easy to rectify.

JPNE Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 I thank Psenda and Walt Farrell for their helpful responses. The fact that the names of the contributing files are not stored in the EXIF section of the .afphoto HDR file seems to me an omission on Affinity Photo's part, since these files are the raison d'etre of the composite file.
