AffinityAppMan Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Greetings, Affinity Photo is now my main photo editing software. I also like to use ON1 Photo RAW 2017 for some features, especially the PHOTO FILE MANAGEMENT system. ( or Digital Asset Management ) Whenever I tell ON1 Photo RAW 2017 to edit the image in affinity photo, it opens the image in affinity photo brilliantly. However, I am having trouble understanding what happens when I exit Affinity Photo to go back to ON1 Photo RAW 2017. How can I keep the original and the edited file on the same folder in a way that makes sense? Since ON1 Photo RAW 2017 doesn't recognize .afphoto format, it won't display it in the ON1 Photo RAW 2017 file browser/organizer. Is anyone here using this same combination? What is your workflow like when working from one of these apps to the other? Especially when keeping everything non-destructive. Cheers!

AffinityAppMan Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 It looks like no one here has this workflow. I'll post this on the ON1 forum to see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerofoto Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I use Luminar not On1 but saving your file as .tiff with layers is what I do with AP so I can always go back to modify if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mike, That's actually a super idea. I will give it a go and see how it goes. thanks for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerofoto Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 your images will be bigger if you save them as .tiff Nik software don't read NEF or RAW file so .tiff was a good alternative for me, personally it doesn't bother me, for what it cost today for a portable hard drive or an ssd harddrive as backup.

Mousyfox Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hi AffinityAppMan, Are you still struggling with this scenario or have you mastered it or gone a different way? I have both apps and use them together. Maybe I could give you some help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiekooft Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hello Mousyfox, I have the two programs installed also and love them both. In trying to combine them optimally, I would love to know how you manage your workflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
