photos2 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I have a macbook air M1 laptop, Affinity Photos 2.5.3. I want to edit a RAW file in Develop Persona but it gets imported as a tiff file. If I open Develop Persona the output does not allow me to use the drop down menu. How do I get a Photos app Raw photo to open up in Develop Persona and also be able to have output menu drop down?

NotMyFault Posted January 12 Posted January 12 The Apple Photos App has it quirks. To get the unaltered original picture, you may have to use that menu in Apple Photos and export the image. Otherwise Apple Photos creates a lower resolution version. The actual behavior depends on MacOS version.

For me, Open the RAW file in the Photos App, select Edit at the Top Right and then select the circle with the three dots. From the dropdown selecting Edit in Photo opens a RAW file in the Develop Persona of Affinity Photo...

nehakakar Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Hi everyone, I had the same problem with RAW files from the Photos app. After trying Hangman's solution, it worked for me too. Also, make sure your Photos app is up to date, as it can help fix some issues with files. Hangman 1 Quote
