tompricking Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi, congrats to the folks at serif for the fine affinity photo app. Since i switched from Windows to Apple/IOSX i missed my old Photoshop 7.0 for Windows. Now, that i tried AP for several days i feel comfortable and can do all the things i did with Photoshop. I use the IOS Photos-App for collecting my JPEG-Copies of the developed and evtl. edited RAW-Files. Sometimes i want to open one of my old pictures from f.e. 2002, which are exclusively stored in the Photos-App. The only possibility i've found, is to drag the file out of photos for iosx on the Desktop and from there into Affinity photo. Would be smart to do this directly from affinity photo. Perhaps a topic for one of the following updates.

Staff Callum Posted August 27, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi Tom, Welcome to the Forums :) Currently there is no edit in external app feature in Photos however this is being added by Apple. Once it has been you will be able to choose a photo from Photos and automatically bring it up in Affinity Photo. You can see a statement from one of our developers regarding this here. I hope this helps :) C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 But tompricking talks about opening an not editing!. Open the "Open" dialog and look at the left side of it. Scroll down the source entries and you find an item "Fotos" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solly Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Great! The Media Browser is just what I have been looking for. For a newbie, each day is filled with discovery and the forums are akin to panning for gold and finding precious nuggets. Thanks to all!

It worked for me with Aperture. Go to Affinity Photo/ PREFERENCES/photoshop plugins Then browse to folder where your Photo's are. Of course, if you are archived on the cloud it won't work. But my Aperture folder is on a huge external drive and I can now browse it through the Media Browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
