BluestarCK Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hi, I belong to a Photo Club and did a workshop on using Affinity Photo, most of the members use Photoshop and I've been trying to get them to switch to Affinity Photo. One member who bought Affinity Photo emailed me and said that all his Photoshop files were converted to Affinity Photo and he couldn't get the Photoshop files back. I don't use Photoshop so I'm not sure if there is a way for him to retain his Photoshop format and still use Affinity Photo. Most of the members thought Affinity Photo looked good but there are some die hard Photoshop users so I'm wondering if there's a way to do this. Appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

firstdefence Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 PSD files can only be converted via export so the original PSD files will still exist. What I suspect has happened is He doesn't have file extensions showing so to all intents and purposes it looks like the file is an Affinity Photo file (see 2.) the extension for an Affinity Photo file is .afphoto The file icon as been changed to Affinity Photos icon but the files are still PSD format. When he double clicks on a file it opens in Affinity Photo Change the Open With on Win10: https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/how-to-change-the-default-program-to-open-a-file-with/ Show file extensions: https://www.howtogeek.com/205086/beginner-how-to-make-windows-show-file-extensions/ Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
