Rich Laubhan Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 When I try to open a new photo, using File -> Open -> Media Photos, the photo library is not current. The most recent photos loaded into the Apple Photos app (synchronized to many Apple devices through iCloud) are not visible. When I open Photos app on same MacBook Pro, I see the recent photos, but Affinity Photo does not see them. I'm on a MacBook Pro 2012, MacOS Catalina version 10.15.7. Quote
Ron P. Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Welcome to the forums @Rich Laubhan, This sounds like an issue that will happen occasionally. Check the File Type entry, found in the lower-right of the Open Dialog window. Sometimes it gets changed, and will show .txt file type. If it does just change it, type in the file type(s) that's in your photo library, or if there's a drop-down menu, open it and change it to All Documents. 2022-03-13 01-44-30.mp4 Quote Affinity Photo 2.5..; Affinity Designer 2.5..; Affinity Publisher 2.5..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

I don't know why the Apple Photos app is not showing AP the most recent photos added to its library, but what you are showing for Windows is not relevant to the OP's issue.

v_kyr Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Get help with the Photos app on your Mac Quote If the Media Browser isn't showing your photos and videos Use the Media Browser to make images from your photo library available in other apps, like Pages and iMovie. The Media Browser shows only the contents of the Photos library designated as the System Photo Library. If you have more than one Photos library—and the one you're using isn't set as the System Photo Library—the Media Browser won't show its contents. Follow these steps to designate the current library as the System Photo Library: Choose Photos > Preferences. Click the General button at the top of the Preferences window. Click Use as System Photo Library.
