How do I update Photo?

[Mr Lucky]

Designer and Publisher automatically show me updates when I start the, But Photo does not do this  so I still have V 2.0.0

I found this:

Quote

each time you start the software it will check for updates and offer any available update, or in the application main menu there is an option Check for Updates.

But it does not check for updates and  I cannot find Updates in the menu.

Can someone please help? Thanks

Help Menu - Check for updates.

If all else fails, go to the store and download the latest version manually (although you should not need to do this).

Which Store did you install Photo 2 from?

If you installed, for example, from the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store, then updates are controlled via your settings in that Store app.

Affinity.

I see no updates if I go to Mac app store.

Sorry, I didn't realise you're using a Mac!

Hi @Mr Lucky,

As you've not got the 'Check For Updates' option on the menu, you will have purchased Affinity Photo from the Mac App Store.  Make sure you are signed into the app store using the same Apple ID you purchased Affinity under and you should then be able to download the update.

If in fact you bought AP V2 from the Affinity store, there should be a "Check For Updates" item in the "Affinity Photo 2" application menu (the menu just to the right of the Apple menu. There also should be a "Check for Updates" item in Preferences > Software Update that allows you to set how often it should check for updates. The choices are daily, weekly, monthly, & never. If set to never, you will have to use the menu to do that.

If you do not see this menu item then you bought AP 2 from the Mac App Store.

Yes it looks like I did, however it didn't show up in list of apps needing an update like other apps do when they need an update , I had to search for it then there is a download button.

That happened to me on occasion & I also had to search for it to get an update/download button. For some with that issue, logging out & back into your Apple ID account fixes it, but it did not for me.
