You started out by saying that you bought the app (which one?) from the Affinity website, but the retail versions of the Affinity apps for Mac are only available via the Mac App Store (MAS). If you bought it from the MAS, you can download it again by logging in and using the link that you’ll find on the ‘Purchased’ tab; make sure you log in with the Apple ID that you used when making the original purchase.

Nifty Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hmmmmmm,, I'm sorry Alfred, Maybe I did buy it from the App store, it can't remember now,, I thought it came from the actual Affinity web site.. I paid 87 Australian for it, I notice that it is the same price on the App. store.... I might just try the App. store and see what happens.. I'm sorry to confuse you,, I've confused myself.. I thought I bought it from Affinity web site , guess I must have been wrong.. Thank you Alfred for your reply.. Neville... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nifty Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi Folks,, i'm back in the same position as at the time of my above posting... I downloaded Affinity again, immediately I put my SD card from my camera into my Mac all those photos have the symbol AF in front of the details.. AF automatically opens my raw files as soon as I open them, I want the raw files to open in whichever program I select, either Photoshop/ Lightroom / Bridge or Affinity, but I do NOT want Affinity to automatically open the files.. It has become a real pain in the you know where and i don't know how to have my own choice of editing software open and editing files... Dear Mum,,, Send help.... Neville...

Staff MEB Posted July 2, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi Nifty, Welcome to Affinity Forums In Finder, right-click one of the files from your camera (the RAW) and select Get Info. Then in the Open with section (see screenshot below - it's the only section i have expanded), select the Application you want to use to open those files (by default it's Preview). Finally click Change All button right below the application's dropdown to apply the new setting to all files that use that format. To open the files in another program other than the one you have chosen as the default, right-click the file in Finder and select Open With. macOS will display a list of all the apps able to open/load these types of files. Select the one you want and the file will be opened in that app. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Thank you very much Meb... I've done exactly as you suggested... So far all my raw files have lost the AF designation and will open in Lightroom or Photoshop.. Thank you again for your help.. Neville.....
