lamarcheb Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I've made some simple edits of a 17.9 MP JPEG using a few layers. When I save the file in the Affinity Photo format, the file is 225 MB, which is more than 10 times the size of the original RAW file. Is there a way to optimize this? With files this large I can't justify the disk space. Please advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamarcheb Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thanks much your replies. The other threads made for an interesting read. I guess my approach will be to make the edits I need, and export the results as jpeg. I have no need to keep the affinity photo file most of the time.
