Tommie Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I am editing my images in affinity photo v2 on a MacBook Pro. I have done quite a few edits and they have saved on my desktop as a small photo but now they are saving as a purple icon. Can anyone tell my why or what I did to have this happen? I would really like the small photo to show. I attached an image below to show you what has happened. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the Command + J to show the View Options. In Finder it is View > Show View options. You can set this individually for each and every Finder Window or set it to be used as default.

markw Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Also make sure in APhoto’s Preferences > General, that you have; ‘Save thumbnails with documents’, turned on.

Tommie Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 I just am lost... I opened my image in afphoto and Pushed command +J and it duplicated my image in layers as you can see in the image below. I went to view and did not see view options. I screen shot my actions and posted below Sorry this did not work for me. Any other suggestions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally, you may find that the Thumbnail for the document is not shown within finder until the document has been saved & closed from the Affinity app. Whilst the document is still active in the app, the thumbnail may not be shown. I hope this helps!

Tommie Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 I did close the affinity photo program and I still cannot see the miniature photos... I did go to finder and then to show view options and clicked on photo..still no change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 One is. Odds are the ones with the generic Photo icon have not had their Thumbnails generated, they would need to be opened and saved again. Any kind of edit, paste something into the document, delete it and save the document will do.
