Aarkeus Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Apologies up front, I have seen quite a few threads on this but I can't find one that resolves my issue. I have just bought Affinity 1.6.6. I have a Mac running High Sierra. I planned to use Apple Photos for cataloging my photos, and of course sharing across my iPhone and iPad. I have a Canon EOS 80D and shoot in RAW. My problem is this: After importing my pics into Apple Photos. I double click on an image to open it full screen. I then choose Menu > Image > Edit With > Affinity Photo This opens the image in Affinity Photo (AP). I edit the image and then choose Save. However, it does not save it back to Photos. That image remains unchanged. I read in the various threads that it is supposed to. So what am I doing wrong? I did download the app 'External Editors for Photos' but I think that this is now redundant for High Sierra. I also never got the option in Apple Photos edit screen that you were supposed to. So I've removed it. Regards Ged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 14, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hi Aarkeus, Welcome to Affinity Forums This is a known issue that's already logged to be looked at. Meanwhile you can use the Edit in Affinity Photo extension to send the images from Apple Photos to Affinity Photo and sent/save them back.

Aarkeus Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Thanks you for your reply. So you are saying that, when in Apple Photos and I select an image and then choose 'Edit With' and select 'Affinity Photo', when I save, it does not save back and this is a known issue. I don't understand what you mean by " Meanwhile you can use the Edit in Affinity Photo extension to send the images from Apple Photos to Affinity Photo as sent/save them back". Is this something different that you are recommending me to do? If it is I don't understand what it is. Please could you clarify.

Wikinger Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Bonsoir. Depuis le menu Fichier d'Affiny Enregistrer sous l'image au format Affinité dans le dossier de votre choix. Exporter ouvrira une boîte permettant de choisir le format d'enregistrement. cliquez sur le bouton Export de cette boîte permet d'accéder aux dossiers pour enregistrer. Cordialement.

Staff MEB Posted January 15, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hi Aarkeus, Yes, you understood correctly. Instead of using that menu command you can also use the extension (called Edit in Affinity Photo) to send the image from Apple Photos to Affinity Photo. To access it double-click the thumbnail in Apple Photos to display it in fullscreen then click the Edit button on the top right corner. Apple Photos switches to edit mode -the interfaces becomes dark. Click the three dots icon (Extensions) on the top right section and select the Edit in Affinity Photo extension. The image will open in Affinity Photo. Edit it as you see fit then close the document - you will be prompted to save the file - save it and close the document in Affinity Photo if it's still open. The image will be sent back to Apple Photos. Click Save Changes on the top right corner in Apple Photo to save the changes.

Pieterj Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi. Should this also work in the trial version? If I return to Apple Photos I have only an edit button on the right top. When I click it Photos does say that the image is open in another application, but does not offer an option to save the image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
