allenbham Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hi to my dear colleagues at Affinity! I have been using, enjoying, and singing the praises of Affinity Design and Photo for some time now. I am using Photo v 1.4.2 and Designer v 1.5.4. I just mistakenly opened an old Photo file in Designer and saved it. Now i can only open it in Designer -- Photo won't open it anymore. And i am afraid that i am stuck. It's a pixel-based file, i was confused when i opened it in Designer. What should i do? Is there any way to undo what i have done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted December 1, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 1, 2016 There's no way to undo it I'm afraid, but 1.5 of Affinity Photo should be in the App Store very soon... also, you could use the 1.5 Photo Beta from this forum right now :) allenbham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenbham Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Wait -- are you saying that if i had v1.5 of Photo i could open that file that is now a Design file? :)Or is the genuinely good news about getting Photo 1.5 just a consolation for my bad situation? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted December 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 2, 2016 Designer and Photo read exactly the same files. The only reason one uses a .afdesign and the other uses a .afphoto extension is simply so that we know which application you made it in, so when you click to open it, we'll launch the right application. 1.5 Photo is fully compatible with 1.5 Designer. 1.5 Photo will hit the App Store as an update very soon. In the meantime, you can definitely just download the Affinity Photo Beta 1.5 (which is currently at Release Candidate status) and use it until the App Store version gets updated :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenbham Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 AHa -- Thank you MattP, this is great news! I thought that i understood what you were getting at, but I was afraid of messing things up worse since I was already unsure of why the file wouldn't work.Thank you so much for the help! I am downloading the beta Photo and looking forward to the next appstore update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenbham Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hmm -- i have downloaded the beta version of Photo, but it won't let me run it because it apparently doesn't recognize that i have the purchased 1.4.2 version of Photo also installed in my Applications folder.

allenbham Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Thanks so much R C-R. I had looked around for that update, but in the wrong places. It was right there in my "Purchased" list, waiting for me to install it.And now i have installed the update and am using the Beta version to edit the file that i couldn't get into, the one that i had asked about in the first place. Thank you MattP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
