Berndie Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Hello, I have multiple projects, each with several layers. Is there a way to combine these projects into one? I'm using a desktop application of Affinity Photo 2. Thanks very much! Bernd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select all layers (in Layers Panel) in one project, and copy to other project (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V). APhoto is a layer stacked application - merging multiple projects will therefore cause them to overlap. Is that what you need?

I'm using a desktop application of Affinity Photo 2. Thanks very much! Bernd Hello @Berndie, your question is a little vague. What is a project that you are calling. Affinity Photo usually has one canvas and it is not easy to understand, how or why you want to combine multiple canvases into one. After all, the best advice I can give you without any information about your projects: try copy and paste. It is very easy to transfer the layers from one file into another by this way. You might also look into 'File > Place' which lets you place a complete APh document into another document. d. Quote Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2). Beta testing when available.

Berndie Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 In this example, there are seven projects, each containing images. I would like to merge the images of all these projects together into a collage. Bernd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominik Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I would create a blanc document of the size of the final collage as a 'main' project. And then use 'File > Place' to bring all your projects into this document. Then you can arrange them as a collage. If there is the need to make some edits in one of your project files you can double click on it and you are right inside this project in a new tab. All changes made are synced with your 'main' file. d. Quote Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2). Beta testing when available.
