Linked Images support in Affinity Photo?


Recommended Posts

Hello.

This is my first post in the forums. I'm using Adobe Photoshop since over 20 years now and bought Affinity Photo, too. Affinity Photo is very nice and has a lot of great ideas, I miss in Photoshop.

I've a question about Linked Images in Affinity Photo.

  • Are linked images supported in Affinity Photo, yet?

I'm asking because I've placed an external image by drag and drop into my project. When I update my external image, then Affinity Photo is not updating the placed image content inside the project file, even if I save and reload the project file. Is this willed?

I expect, when I place an external image, then it will be linked until I say it have to be embedded.

Best wishes
Chris

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Linking is a function that is only in Publisher at the 1.8 level. At 1.8 Photo and Designer only support embedding.

However, linking is coming to Photo and Designer in 1.9, and is available there in the 1.9 betas that are currently available for testing.
