AP MAC TIFF format for mac preview


Recommended Posts

Hello. I need help with the exporting of AP MAC Tiff files to work with MAC Preview program.

When I try to use Preview/Tools/Adjust Color, it crashes Preview. I think it has to do with AP adjustment layers.

I tried Flattening and Merge but they did not help.

How do I export the TIFF files to work with Preview?

Hi Fivel,

I've just tried you image here: added an adjustment layer, exported as a TIFF with Save Affinity layers checked, opened it in Preview and changed all sliders in the Adjust Colours panel inside Preview - no issues here. It's possible this is an issue specific to Mavericks (i'm running Sierra) but i don't have any machine with it here to check myself. Hopefully Callum or someone from the QA will follow this as soon as they can.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

I have not, but like MEB I am running Sierra, so perhaps as he says it is something that only occurs with Mavericks.

Thanks Callum, I hope someone else is using Mavericks.

R-C-R, I have been holding off upgrading to OS X Sierra since I would have to re purchase several applications to run on that platform.

At least I see that I can use my current AP version (1.5.2) with Sierra. Decisions, decisions.

It has been so long since I last used Mavericks that I can't remember which features of the OS or of the bundled apps like Preview have been added, improved, or changed in the intervening OS releases. However, I am reasonably sure that quite a few of the features I now use were not available in Mavericks, or work better in the most recent OS versions.

 

I understand all to well about not wanting to or not being able to stretch a budget to spend what can be a considerable amount of money on newer app versions compatible with the latest OS version. But I also know that in the long term it becomes increasingly impractical to run the older ones, so I am constantly looking for apps like Affinity that I won't have to spend a lot on to keep using them. Fortunately for me, there are currently no apps that I need or want to run that are not compatible with Sierra or (I hope!) High Sierra, but in the past when there have been, what I have done is to keep a copy of the older OS on a separate partition or another bootable hard drive, & start up into that when I needed to run those apps. It is not ideal but maybe that might work for you as well.
