RAW and TIFF files

[HaDu]

Hi,

I am a Affinty Photo user on a Mac.

For a trip on a big sailing ship across the Atlantic I take my Nikon D800 and a IpadMini6 +  USB C hub including Cardreader + SSD external hard disk. On sea I like to check the seaphotos I'll take on Affinity Photo for Ipad in the Develop and Photo Persona if they are OK and editable. The defenite editing I'll do on Affinty Photo on my Mac back home.

According to the tutorials I can import my RAW files from my camera into Affinity Photo for Ipad app. If I edit a file can this file be exported as uncompressed TIFF file to the external hard disk?

I ask this because on the Affinity site, Affinity Photo Ipad section, PSD and PSB files are mentioned and not TIFF files.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @HaDu

What's preventing you from saving the files in Affinity Photo's own .aphoto format? The only prerequisite is that the iPad and the Mac have the latest version of APhoto installed.

Thanks for your fast reply Komatos.

You might be right! The thing is I always, since I edit my files, save them as TIFF's, being a rather universal and uncompressed file format.

I suppose .aphoto is also uncompressed.

Absolutely, when exporting in Affinity you can select TIFF and set the compression to None, then export to any location of your choosing.

However as Komatos has mentioned, if you're moving files between your iPad and Desktop within Affinity apps, we always recommend the Affinity format as this will retain all your layers, adjustments, document settings etc between devices.

I hope this helps!
