csayler Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 When I try to open a png, jpg, or other non-affinity file from the File menu, they show up greyed out. Is this expected behavior? Quote

Is this expected behavior? It is if you are using Publisher. This is because Publisher is a Page based application, you can Place images onto a page but you have no page in a jpeg, png, tiff, psd etc file. Strictly speaking we don't have pages in .afphoto documents either but the three applications share the same basic file structure so we can open a .afphoto file in Publisher. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Is this expected behavior? That is the case in Affinity Publisher. It seems a daft limitation since you can right-click an image file in Finder and pick Open With > Affinity Publisher. [Also, if you switch to the Photo or Designer Personas in Publisher, then File > Open does allow opening image files. Strange. I think that worked in an earlier release, but not now.] Edited December 3, 2020 by anon2 Quote
csayler Posted December 3, 2020 Author Posted December 3, 2020 That's what I figured. Thanks for the quick responses. Quote
