StuartC Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 I am clearly being very stupid about this but I cannot seem to get this to work so I hope someone will help! I am using AP1. I have a number of photos I have worked on (tiffs) in Affinity Photo and now want to export these as Jpegs. How do I select the processed photos to put them in the New Batch ? Where are those files ? Using the list in the original Tiffs folder does not convert the processed photos merely the originals? Obviously I have not understood this process at all and would welcome any clarification. What am I missing? Quote
walt.farrell Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 You say you have worked on them. If they are currently Open in the application, then you will Export them individually using File > Export from the menu. If, on the other hand, you have Saved your work as .afphoto files, then you can use File > New Batch Job and have the batch job export then to another format. You would add the .afphoto files to the batch from wherever you've Saved them.

You have to save the Processed Tiffs somewhere on your hard drive* as files before you can use the File > New Batch Job.... You cannot apply a File > New Batch Job... to files opened and worked on from within the application. * Don't use the cloud or a networked disk as this may cause problems.

I thought I would be able to batch process the open photos, normally for only one or two I would do as you suggest but have quite a few open at present! It did occur to me that I should save them first so thank you for the clarification. walt.farrell 1 Quote

Thanks, yes realise that now. I had hoped to be able to batch process the open files, far too optimistic! Quote
