Mary G Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 In the new affinity, I just exported a file is a JPEG, but when I try to drag it into a photo ordering program, it says that it is not a JPEG. It opens in preview as a JPEG but is not being recognized as a JPEG. When i click on info it says it’s a Jpg. I’ve tried exporting it from preview to another jpg to no avail. It literally is on my desktop with the extension .jpg, but will not be recognized as such. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary G Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Figured it out! Lots of trial and error, but if anyone comes up on this problem, I clicked on "More" in the export area and de-selected "Embedded ICC Profile" and "Embedded Metadata". That fixed the issue. Im not the most tech savvy person on the planet but thanks for reading if you did. And if you have anything to add to the issue, feel free to respond.

JohnZeman Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I don't know about the problem you had but I've noticed with 1.9 that when I edit a TIF and export it as a JPG the export save as dialog says it's exporting the image as an Affinity file. It seems to be a JPG though but I find this to be rather misleading. See attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnZeman Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thanks Walt and Alfred, that explains it. Just threw me off for a moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
