Using Affinity Photo 2 as a Lightroom external editor

[Seajay]

I have been very pleased with Affinity Photo, I recently updated it to version2.

 

I have Affinity Photo 2.0.4.msix installed on my Windows 10 computer. I am unable to access it from my Lightroom 5 software as an external editor.

 

 

1.      Is there any way I can get Affinity Photo 2.0.4 msix to work as an external editor in Lightroom 5?

2.      If I uninstall Affinity Photo 2.0.4 msix and install the msi version, will Lightroom recognise it as an external editor?

3.      Which is the best method of uninstalling Affinity Photo 2.0.4 msix in order to install the msi version?

Hi Seajay,

This is a known issue with the MSIX builds I'm afraid. Switching to the MSI version of the apps should allow you to use Affinity as an external editor in Light Room.

Thanks

Deinstall the msix before you install the msi version!

Thank you both for your replies. I uninstalled Affinity Photo 2.0.4.msix and installed the msi version which works as an external editor with Lightroom.

Thanks.
