Phil_rose Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi all, I've just started using Affinity Photo and I remember wide as I gave up on the trial a few months ago. When I go to Save As the only option is to Save As an Affinity Photo format file. In Photoshop I am able to go to Save As and choose any form I like rather than being restricted to a PSD file. The reason that this really matters is that I use ACDSee for cataloguing my files and currently (although my contacts as they are looking into changing this) they are unable to show me AFP format files so if I work on a file I want to keep it to work on again later I have to either export every time as a PSD or save as an AFP and be unable to see it in ACDSee. I would like to just be able to save it as a PSD in the first place and then simply press control unless to save as I go along. Does this make sense? Any chance of making this available? It seems to me as though this is what stops this program from being a Photoshop killer, for me anyway. Quote I like turtles!

Staff MEB Posted February 1, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi Phil_rose, To export to non-native file formats go to menu File ▸ Export or use the Export Persona for more flexibility (slices). In the Save dialog may appear Affinity files in the Save as type dropdown but go ahead and press Export. It will export in the file type you have selected. This is an issue we are looking into.

Right. I'd just like to be able to Save As and Save rather than having to Export each time. It's more of a niggle, I guess but there we are. Quote I like turtles!

Staff MEB Posted February 1, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 1, 2017 Go to menu Edit ▸ Preferences, General section and check Enable "Save" over imported PSD files if you want to overwrite them. Make sure you read the warning below. Not all PSD features are supported (the PSD documentation is quite poor). Rewriting over an existing file may lead to data loss.
