arfo62 Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Hi everybody, i didn't find anything with a first search so I'm starting a new topic... I created a new canvas and placed three images: two are .tif, created with digital photo performer 4, and the third is a .tiff, exported from AP (1.6.6); I finally created a fill layer that I placed as a background. I need to edit single images and I double clicked on each of them but nothing happened while I was expecting them to open in a new window, as showed in the creating photo collages video tutorials... Did I miss something? Thank you everybody for helping me! :-) A. Quote
Old Bruce Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 The video you linked to doesn't seem to show the double clicking and editing. I could only get the image from Affinity Photo to open in a new window to edit, and it was saved as an .afphoto document not a .tif/.tiff. I was also using the Affinity Photo application as opposed to either of the others.

walt.farrell Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 In my experience, double-clicking to edit a document you've placed into a .afdesign, .afphoto, or .afpub document works only when it's an embedded document, for example a .pdf, .eps, .svg, or another .afdesign, .afphoto, or .afpub file. (Basically, anything where the Layers panel shows it as an (Embedded Document). For image files (.png, .jpg, .tif) if you want to edit them then I think you're limited to: In Designer or Publisher, File > Edit in Photo... (assuming it's installed) In Photo, File > Open... I agree with Old Bruce: that video does not do any double-clicking to edit the placed images.

arfo62 Posted December 8, 2018 Author Posted December 8, 2018 Hi Old Bruce and walt, thank you for answering! You both are right: I posted the wrong link (the right one is placing documents) but I'd missed that documents that allow a double click opening in a new window are another .afphoto and not a simple image file... My mistake :-) A. Quote

The behaviour is not unexpected when I think about it but it is rather disappointing and unintuitive. It would be nice to be able to open a TIFF and do some work on it.

For the truth: if you select a single image (a jpeg too) in a photo collage and edit it you can see all the adjustment layers adding one after the other, under the backgound layer, but it's not as useful and effective as having a new instance opened...
