Photoshop to Affinity Photo and back again?


Recommended Posts

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.

PSD files can only be converted via export so the original PSD files will still exist.

What I suspect has happened is

  1. 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
  2. The file icon as been changed to Affinity Photos icon but the files are still PSD format.
  3. When he double clicks on a file it opens in Affinity Photo
