squeezer Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I try to open the TIFF in AF Photo 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.

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.

Thanks for the clarification. I became confused when you first mentioned Photo Beta then just referred to Photo without saying Beta. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted January 17, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 17, 2019 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?

squeezer Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 The problem seems to related to having the 'transparent background' ticked under the 'Document' menu. I have changed no Tiff export settings. I will look out a couple of files for you . Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
