PaulD Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 New to Affinity. How do you correct text once image has been returned to Photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted February 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 1, 2019 When you use the extension from Apple Photos again the original image will be imported into Affinity Photo. This means that if you used Affinity Photo to add the text to the image it won't be there when the image is imported again due to how Photos works with Affinity. Another option would be that once you have added text to your image, use File > Export and create a new file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulD Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks Lee, Actually, the text is there when I bring the image back to Affinity from Apple photos. I just can't make any changes. I will try export/import as you suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulD Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Tried export and then importing back to affinity. No luck. Tried using a layer and retyping text. Can't get past "d". See screen shot. Trying to correct 'an' to 'and' in lower text box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will include the text layers, which are rasterized and flattened in the exported jpeg. John Quote Windows 11, Affinity Photo 2.4.2 Designer 2.4.2 and Publisher 2.4.2 (mainly Photo).

R C-R Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 6 hours ago, PaulD said: Got it! Apple Photos Document.afphoto There is no text in the bottom layer because Apple Photos does not support layers or text objects, so all you have on that layer is an image of the text that is 'baked into' the pixel layer. One way to get around this is to add a white rectangle over the text you want to modify, hiding its pixels, & type the replacement text into your frame text layer, sort of like in this Apple Photos overlay.afphoto example. When you return that to Apple Photos, I think it will all be flattened automatically into a single raster image. If that doesn't work, use Document > Flatten in Affinity Photo to collapse everything into a raster image that Photos supports.

PaulD Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Thanks R C-R, Yes, I understand now and the overlay is probably the only solution. I could not open Apple Photos overlay.afphoto, said I don't have permissions or something like that. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulD Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 To all... Covering text with new frame layer works. Thanks to all who responded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
