Jim K Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I exported files as .tiff from Capture One Pro 9. I loaded these into a stack for merging in Affinity Photo. After merging I exported the result to a .tiff file on disk. Capture One does not recognise this file as a .tiff. Capture One support mentioned that the file had no background layer and was exported as layer 0. I do not know what this means. I tried saving the file and loading it in a separate document in Affinity Photo and it presented as a background pixel layer. I then exported this as a .tiff. Capture One still does not recognise it. It is not clear to me how I incorporate a background layer so saving and reloading was my attempt to do this. It seems to me that the Affinity file is not exporting as a standard .tiff for some reason. When I do the same thing as a .jpg it works perfectly. Help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Asha Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 You should be able to "reclaim" your background layer by flattening the file (Document > Flatten). This is different than merging layers, which can compress a set of layers with no background layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 I have also already tried this Asha and unfortunately it is also ineffective. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 As an update I have had success in merging images without using stacks and getting a usable .tiff. I presume there is something I am not doing when using 'Stacks'. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know what this means. I had a similar issue with Capture One importing 16-bit tiff images from hugin (panorama sticher). Here are my notes to fix that. (both below commands, identify and convert, are from imagemagick: http://www.imagemagick.org ) To import panorama tiff outputs from Hugin (2014.0.0) back into Phase One Capture One Pro 8,You need to remove the one-bit alpha-channel added by Hugin:To see the alpha-channel: 'identify -verbose <hugin-pano.tif>'To remove the alpha-channel:'convert <hugin_pano.tif> -alpha off <no_alpha_pano.tif>' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
