Sreng Pagna Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Hi everyone, While working with PSD file, we sometimes want to export the file as a duplicated one, so that we can keep the original file and work with a new "exported" file. However, when we "export" the file, Affinity photo does not open the new file that we have "exported", it keeps the original file open. Is there anyway to set affinity photo to automatically open a new file that we have "exported" PSD file after the file have been exported? Thank you❤️ Quote 2D Cutout animator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 When I do a Save as... the original file is closed and I am now working on the Save as... version Not sure why this is not working for you Can you explain more what your workflow is that presents you with the original file?

I am sorry for the confusion, it should be export. I confuse with Save as and Export. I will edit the question. I work mostly with PSD since I need PSD file for Moho animation software. I have PSD models. I need to copy the models to another folder all the time to keep the original PSD model the same, and edit only the duplicated one. I want to just open a PSD model and then export it (just like save as another PSD file) and it close the original file and reopen the exported file. Is there any way or setting, I can do that?

On Mac, the 3rd party utility Default Folder can do stuff like that via scripting or a Shortcuts action. I use this to automatically open exported PDFs in Packzview. But it would be also possible via built-in MacOS tools, for example scripting via Folder Actions attached to a specific folder.
