Edit Layer in External Editor

[drock]

Is there a way to add a layer to a file and edit that layer in another program. For example I create a copy of the original image then tell Affinity Photo I want to edit that layer in say Perfectly Clear or another image editor.

As far as I am aware, there isn't a way to add an app as an external editor... I have, however, been known to be wrong.

Nope, you are correct    If Perfectly Clear was a plugin or if that allows you to set an external editor, not an app i've used, then it might be possible to get Affinity to work with it that way.

 

@drock Does Perfectly Clear allow you to set up an external editor?  That would be one way of sending the image to Affinity, editing and then saving the image, should update the image in Perfectly Clear (not a program i've used, so this might not be possible)

...not very often, if indeed at all.
