Samoreen Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi, I have successfully setup Affinity as an external editor in Lightroom. I could then use the Edit in... Affinity command to send a TIF file (note the extension) to Affinity. After making some changes, I wanted to use, as in other external applications, the Ctrl-S shortcut to send that modified TIF file back to Lightroom. No, no. Affinity wanted to save it as a .afphoto file. Not what I wanted. So I had to export. But when exporting as a TIFF file, Affinity tries to force the .TIFF extension which you have to change manually if you want that Lightroom recognizes the returned file. Also, the default folder proposed to store the exported file is not the folder where the original file is stored, thus causing some confusion if you are not cautious enough. This should at least be an option. Bill H 1 --PatrickHamburg ist der wahre Grund warum Kompassnadeln nach Norden zeigen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 This is a bug that will be fixed in the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoreen Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi, After the .37 update, I can now use Ctrl-S to save my changes to the (TIFF) file sent over by Lightroom. That's good. It's not clear to me whether the file is flattened when using the Save with layers... button. When using the Export... command however, the browser still uses the last folder that has been used for an export which may have nothing to do with the folder where the original file is stored (this folder should be the default for a round-trip operation). Is there any option that I have missed ? Bill H 1 --PatrickHamburg ist der wahre Grund warum Kompassnadeln nach Norden zeigen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoreen Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Also, the default extension for TIFF files is still .tiff . Please return to the standard. --PatrickHamburg ist der wahre Grund warum Kompassnadeln nach Norden zeigen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjh1007 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Here I am in 1.5.1.54 and this same problem still exits. I have had to resort back to PS to do a proper round trip. When Affinity gets their act together I will come back to using Affinity Photo. The insistence on forcing the 'save as' to .aphoto and no option for .tif (not .tiff) and thus requiring an export and then to have to browse for the correct directory is just plain bad and has put me off Affinity. I had hopes that after the beta this would be fixed. Hopefully I didn't flush $49 US. Please Please fix this. Hopefully the Affinity team are reading these posts.

hlarledge Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I would like to see this round-trip working better also. Not for Lightroom but for other DAWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhite Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 +1 for changing the default TIFF extension to .tif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
