Export

[tooppy]

Hi

On this last version , I can export only in Png or Jpeg and without the different calcs, the picture must be flatten. I never export using the Affinity file, sorry, it is of no use if I want to send a picture to a printing service or else.

I don't need to export the whole historic, just the final calcs and adjustements. I am on Mac.

Anyone has an idea if there is a case to tick somewhere ?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand that. Can you provide a screenshot or recording to demonstrate the problem?

Thanks Walt to try to help.

Here is the first screenshot, you can see that I chose Tiff, actually I first tried in 8 bits only and it didn't work :

Then here the following screenshot :

As you can see it appears in Jpg. If I try to change the file type, here it goes :

It will accept xxxx.tiff.jpg which is a Jpg

Thanks. The screenshots help.

First, I'll note that you are using the Export Persona. For this simple case, perhaps File > Export would be easier for you, but that depends on other information you have not shown.

Since you're using the Export Persona, please note the area I've marked below, from your screenshot. You are exporting a JPG file.

Yes, I have no other choice there, two Jpg types of different quality.

Now, after reading your post, I went to the photo persona and then, bingo, I get everything I need !

Thanks Walt

If using the Export Persona, you would choose your format and options in the upper portion (where you had TIFF), and just ignore that box in the lower section, leaving it blank.

In the upper portion, you should have this list:

or something similar. Then once you've chosen the format, the rest of that top panel has the other options you may want to set.

It doesn't work, that is what I did at the begining, I put Tiff RVB 16 bits in the preset but it exports only in Jpg no matter what !

......and something else, if I don't want it to be Zipped, the preset is cancelled !

[walt.farrell]

Try this, please.

Once you have made this specification:

Go down to the Slices panel in the bottom section. You should see a blank preset there as you've showed.

Expand the slice entry:

What do you see there. It should say TIFF, also.

Or, if you have changed the preset info, as you've mentioned you did (changing compression) the preset name will be blank. Do not worry about that. Once you make changes, you are no longer using that Preset. But the Preset name is not relevant. What is relevant is the values specified in the top panel.

But again, for you, for this workflow, File > Export will probably be better

When you choose Selection you have to choose a Slice (Tranche) to see, change and apply the export choices. When you choose Defaults (Parametres par default) you are simply setting up what you want the Default export Preset to be. This may not affect the Slice's export format.

If you want a TIFF then Choose the Slice in the Slice window and Choose from the Presets and further alter the properties to your taste. If you always want TIFFs to be the default then set up a Preset for the TIFF format the way you want it and make your own preset, name it My TIFF preset then choose that in the Defaults tab. Going forward you'll have that as the default.

First Select Selection instead of Parametres par default

Walt.....you are "chief"....it works perfectly !  Thanks a lot ! But why they hide that behind a mall arrow, as though there is not enough settings on this window for this purpose !  You guys writing code.....make it dead simple please !  Obvious you know...obvious !

Bruce, thanks also for this explanation....but you know "slice" doesn't speak to me " AT ALL "  so I disregarded it ...

If you want simple, just use File > Export. The Export Persona is a dedicated workspace intended for doing more complicated export tasks, like exporting multiple slices to one or more formats and/or to different sizes, continuous export updates, & much more.

Again, if you do not need or want slices just use File > Export.
