Photo Beta version 1.7.0.209, Export to TIFF


Recommended Posts

I have been using Affinity photo  Beta test version 1.7.0.209, when I export finished files to TIFF, the thumbnail image is corrupted , looks like something from a Hi Pass filter mid process screen, or some weird blend mode result. When I try to open the TIFF in AF Photo or ant thing else I get a weird pink rectangle, same shape as the photo canvass. AF Photo tries to open as a Raw File. 

I have flattened the image and even rasterized it to no avail. This is on around 90% of my work, occasionally I get one that works. I want to archive all my processed images as TIFF to save on disc space.

I'm not sure what problem you might be having with "anything else", but Photo 1.7 beta changed the TIFF compression method, and perhaps Photo 1.6 doesn't understand it? Supposedly the change was to get a bit better compression and be compatible with more applications.

Edit: this should be in the Beta forum, so perhaps a moderator can move it.

You misunderstand, I am working totally in the Beta version, I export to Tiff, and I cannot open the Tiff file in the Beta version that I just saved it from, so I tried to open the Tiff file in my usual viewer software, exactly the same results at 1.7 Beta, a corrupted file. 

I  thought this was the Beta forum

No, the beta forums are over here, and the Photo Beta forum, specifically, is here.

Thanks for the clarification. I became confused when you first mentioned Photo Beta then just referred to  Photo without saying Beta.

Hey squeezer,

No problems here—have you changed any of the default TIFF export settings?

We changed the TIFF compression from LZW to Adobe Deflate but I can't see how this would be troubling the 1.7 beta.

Do you have the afphoto file and the exported TIFF that you could send to me via our private Dropbox?
