Paul Warner FRPS Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hi. I am new and using the affinity trial to convert/edit X Trans raw files. Getting used to Affinity and like it, but I cannot export finished files as Tiffs (or anything else!) to my external hard drive where I keep all my image folders and sub-folders. The drive is a WD My Book Duo. ( I don't have any problems on LR which allows me to select a destination precisely.) Very frustrated at present. I would also like to increase the image viewing size of files when selecting to import. At present I load my SD card into a reader which then displays on the desktop ready for import, but the image sizes are minute and my eyes aren't up to the job nowadays. If it helps I am working on a new Mac mini using High Sierra. I would really appreciate any help I can get as I really like Affinity and would like to purchase it as an alternative to Adobe LR.

firstdefence Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 In Finder where your SD Card is displaying the images right click on a bit of white space and choose Show View Options. In View Options you can move the Icon Size slider to increase the icon sizes.

How are you trying to export these files? What menu item or Persona did you select to do this? What happens when you try? Do you get an error message or what?

Paul Warner FRPS Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks.....will try these things (re' import). Re' export.....I have tried both through the file menu and through the export persona. No error message, just a selection of options, none of which allows me to direct the file to my chosen destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be one that allows you to choose any location that you can write to.

Paul Warner FRPS Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Seems to get me there now thanks, but I still can't put stuff into any sub-folders. I always (nearly) export in Tiff by the way. I am getting better but do find the interface a little quirky after Adobe (although LR is corrupting lots of my X-Trans rawfiles with magenta banding- which is very annoying).
