Edit in Photo...

[thomas.artist 2]

Hello,

Can someone help me understand what the "Edit in Photo..." option in Affinity Designer 1.6 is for and why is it greyed out?

 

Thanks!

If you have Affinity Photo, it loads the file into Photo so you can edit it.

 

If you don't have Photo, it will be greyed out.

@toltec I do have both. AP has an Edit in Designer option that works. AD's Edit in Photo does not it seems. 

 

Has it worked for you then?

 

Thanks.

Yes, it works perfectly. Both Photo to Designer and Designer to Photo

 

Windows, version 1.6

Make sure that both apps have been updated to the 1.6 versions and that each of them has been run at least once since they were updated. According to something one of the staff said, this may be necessary to update the internal link that verifies the other app is a compatible version (or words to that effect).

I found that immediately after the update, the link was also greyed out for me in photo, to designer. After opening designer, and re opening photo, both links worked. So Hopefully that will be the fix.

Yep, that fixed it!
