R C-R Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Both Affinity apps support exporting to bitmap (raster image) formats like JPEG, PNG, or GIF. If you mean the 1 bit per pixel, mono-color format rarely used anymore, then no, it does not offer that option.

Fixx Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 You can export to 1-bit using gif or png format. There is just no 1-bit colour space available so you cannot really edit 1-bit images. You though can edit greyscale or RGB to appear 1-bit and export to 1-bit gif or png, which may be good enough. 1-bit tif export is not available :-/ 1-bit format has its uses as lineart is some cases preferred look or technical must so it is not so rare.

R C-R Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I stand corrected. As Fixx said, you can export to a 1 bit (two color palette) GIF or PNG file.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted January 6, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 6, 2017 r91085, Affinity Photo doesn't export to Windows Bitmap format. It is a historical format designed for small (flat) graphics files that is poor at compressing photos. I suggest that you export from Affinity Photo to png and use another app to convert to BMP if you really need that file format.

r91085 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Oh~ thanks~ I am a programmer , and sometimes my work is about image analysis. Windows Bitmap format's file size let me know the picture's memory usage in realtime analysis easily , and doesn't need to decompress when loading it. I don't care file size , so in some case I use Windows Bitmap format . But it is not a big deal , I still can use Photoplus x8 :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
