since installing Affinity Photo V2 all my tiff files with layers are now corrupted also The tiff files lack thumbnails.

I can't use any of my Affinity Photo files V1 or V2 they are all corrupted and are missing thumbnails I can see it in ON1 photo raw 2023, DXO Photo Lab 6, Photo Supreme v7 all my work is now ruined has this happened to any of you? is there a solution to this problem?

also affinity photo V1 OR V2 don't recognize and can't show or work with their own tiff files.

the only way left for me to work with Affinity Photo v1 or v2 is create layers than before saving the tiff file I "Merge Down" all the layers and save as tiff but this is not really a solution for me as I prefer the Master tiff Files to have layers.

• Can the .tiff files can be opened in other apps?
• So the .tiff files don't display a preview of the files content on the thumbnail
• Can you upload one of the .tiff files?
• You should be able to open a v1 file in V2 but not the other way round if you have edited and saved a file in V2
• Which Operating System are you on?

the tiff won't open in any app and i have a few apps they can't open it and can't display thumbnails.

I have a poor internet connection so I can't upload the tiff files.

my Operating System is win11 Pro

this is a screenshot of a affinity photo tiff file that has been corrupted this is what I se when I open many of my affinity photo v1 v2 tiff files in both affinity and other apps that are related to graphics.

If these files are corrupt you have nothing to lose, so you could try this with one of the files.

Rename the extension of one of the tiff files from tiff to bmp and open in another app, it's very likely it won't open but it may, else you will likely be looking at using an image repair app.

I have no problem Exporting a TIFF file with Affinity Layers in V2, and then opening it in Affinity or other apps. And File Explorer also shows the thumbnails.

Turned off Graphic Acceleration Now Everything is in working order no problem I can save to tiff files with layers and see previews of the Tiff file both in editing software and windows explorer thank you all for your help Merry Christmas Everyone.
