Open jpeg from photo app

[Krist]

I have a brand new camera, Fujifilm X-E3, and I took over a thousand photos, jpeg+compressed raw.  I upload the files from the Apple’s sd card reader to the camera roll in photo app.  When I opened the files with AF, it cannot open the compressed raw file.  But, how do I open the jpeg file directly from photo app without having to transfer over 1000 files over to iCloud?

Do you mean how to open a jpg file stored on camera roll in Affinity Photo?

In AP, press the + sign with the circle around it, and in next screen select 'import from photos'.

Or open AP and camera roll side by side. Press and select photo(s) from camera roll and drag into AP. If you create a Folder in AP first, you can drag and drop straight into the folder.

I was able to do what you suggested with my previous camera which does not have compressed raw file.  Most new cameras now (24MP kind) has compressed raw file to reduce the file size.  When I transfer them to my iPad using the Apple sd card reader, jpeg and compressed raw are stored in the camera roll.  But I cannot get AP to open the jpeg file (AP cannot work with compressed file).

To get around it, I had to export the file to iCloud and AP then can open the jpeg, but with over 1000 photos, it is not practical.  So, I am using Snapseed which can open jpeg from the camera roll directly.

AP is nice when it works.

Interesting. I wonder what change exporting to iCloud does? If raw compression handling is an iOS issue how does Snapseed handle it? Maybe something for AP devs to look into.
