AP & Apples Photo Workflow

From 'Edit with Affinity"

Then Edit in Affinity

Then?

 

What next to get the edited photo back into Photos.

 

I would like to end up with a jpeg and a tiff in the same place as the original or a new file within the original folder.

It is unclear what you mean about the edited version ending up in the same place as the original. Apple Photos preserves the original photo as a 'master' image. Edited versions are stored elsewhere in the app's "Photos Library.photoslibrary" folder, which is usually in the per user Pictures folder. Because the app maintains a database & other files related to the photo, you should not manually save or change anything in the library folder -- doing so risks corrupting the database & data loss.

 

If you use the "Edit in Affinity Photo" extension option in Apple Photos to open a library photo for editing in AP, note that at the bottom of the Apple Photos window, it says "Edit your document in Affinity Photo, then close it." This is not quite all there is to it -- when you close the AP window you get the usual warning about saving changes. Click the "Save" button in that warning dialog to save the changes to the Photos Library, then close the document in AP. Back in Apple Photos, the message at the bottom of the edit window will now say "Editing complete - press Save to keep these changes."

 

To save the edited file elsewhere, or to save it as a tiff, use the "Save as" or export option in Affinity Photo.

Thank you.

 

My other half has solved the problem.

 

Just trust the camera and shoot RAW+jpg..

 

RAW for Affinity and high quality printing and high quality jags in Photo for web&publishing in General.

ps. it is interesting (to me anyway) that the camera can produce jogs in an instant and Photos can do it pretty quick too but other software design specifically to produce jags from RAW in bulk seem to take forever.
