marlo Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Suppose I have an image with 10 layers. I want to export each layer separately as an EXR file. How would you do that in Affinity Photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ben Posted April 3, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 3, 2017 Used the File -> Export, and select the EXR format. There are then options for exporting as layered - either change the Preset, or press on "More" to see the full options.

Staff James Ritson Posted April 3, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 3, 2017 Do you mean you want each layer to be exported to its own individual EXR document? If so, you can use the Export persona to do so: Switch across to the Export persona (top left, the final icon with the three nodes) On the Layers panel, shift-click all of the layers you want to export, then choose Create Slice. Switch across to the Slices panel, and shift-click all the newly added slices. Set your export options above on the Export Options panel - so you'll want to change the preset to OpenEXR 32-bit linear. If each layer is to be a separate EXR document then you probably won't need multi-layered export, so the regular preset should be fine. Choose Export Slices and pick a directory to export to. That's it! Hope that helps; as Ben has mentioned above you also have the option of multi-layer export within one document which is a bit tidier - it depends on your needs.

marlo Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Yes I want each layer to be exported to its own individual EXR document so I can do the compositing in Blackmagic Fusion. Thank you Ben and James for your advice. Am planning to move over to Affinity Photo from Photoshop (17 years using PS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
