Hi Stephan, Welcome to the forums. :) In AP, Save or Save As… is for the .afphoto format exclusively. At present, you need to export any edits to a folder of your choosing, in a format that is compatible with iPhoto/Photos (JPEG,PNG,TIFF…) and then import the edited file into iPhoto. Paul.

coranda Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 If you go to Preferences... in iPhoto, on the Advanced tab, there is an option to edit in another application. I haven't tried it (I don't use iPhoto) but it might be worth playing with. justwilliam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvoth Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 JPEG will lose quality over time, though you have options regarding quality and compression. Note more compression will create a smaller file size, but give lower quality. Other file formats that can be used to save your photos are PNG or TIFF. JPEG is the most common format for posting on the web. The Affinity Photo help for export can be seen in "Sharing -> Basic Export" If you ever change to using Apple Photos I notice in the help "Share -> Share" that there a menu item to send a JPEG from Affinity Photo to Apple Photos directly.

markw Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The following all works with jpegs but with RAW files... I don't know. Once finished editing in AP, hitting cmd+S will save the newly edited image in iPhoto where it was.If there are multiple layers you will be asked if you want to; Save Flattened or Save As..In the popup window, choose; Save Flattened to keep the photo with your changes in iPhoto and then close the photo by choosing; Close from the File menu or hitting cmd+W or clicking the Red button top left of the window.If you choose Save As… it will want to save in AP's own format to preserve any layers etc.. and it will be saved outside of iPhoto.
