Linslusen Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Hi, I am preparing pics for printing. When I upload files in TIFF the print shop cannot open the files. On their support page there are instructions for TIFF formats as enclosed below, presumably referring to PhotoShop settings. How do I handle corresponding settings on a pc in Affinity Photo?

walt.farrell Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 When you are Exporting, click the More... button in the dialog and you'll be able to specify the compression options.

Old Bruce Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Are you maybe saving layers in the exported TIFF? Is it RGB which is what they want or CMYK or Lab etc?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linslusen Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Thanks, I'll check the More options and how they specify formats. There are no layers in the exported TIFF. /Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted July 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted July 1, 2021 Hi @Linslusen, Just to confirm, Affinity doesn't currently have an option to change the Pixel Order when exporting to TIFF, however by default the app uses Interleaved, so this should be correct for your printers Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Wosven Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 4 hours ago, Linslusen said: There are no layers in the exported TIFF. PS use its own method to add layers in TIFF files. Affinity does the same with its method. Sadly, if Affinity can read PS layers, PS won't read Affinity layers unless you save as PSD format. And be aware that some effects or specific features from Affinity apps won't be usable in PS (the same way Affinity apps can't read some special effects/features in PS files), and those layers will be rasterized, same problem with text objects, that'll be opened as pixels and not modifiable in PS.
