albas Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Is it possible to open RAW files in Affinity Photo that have been developed/cropped in Lightroom with the crop/development applied so that there is no need to start again or will Affinity only open the original RAW file?

Staff MEB Posted November 17, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hi albas, Welcome to Affinity Forums Affinity will open the original RAW file only. It's not able to load Lightroom settings/adjustments. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albas Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Thanks for the prompt response. Is it something that is being considered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Generally workflow is that you either do your raw editing in AP all the way (which may be a bit slowish), or you do your basic editing in LR and do just the finetuning in AP using LRs "edit with" command, which uses TIF (or PSD) as intermediate format. Importing LR content (raw with edits and keywords) is some kind of holy grail right now which could enable any DAM developer to offer easy path from LR to their own favourite DAM/developing app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albas Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 I am switching away from Lightroom and currently am doing all my editing in AP. That is not the problem, the problem is with all the images (hundreds, possibly thousands) historically edited/developed in Lightroom that I may want to revisit without having to start from scratch again or without having to pay a subscription to Adobe.
