Correcting text on Photos image


Recommended Posts

  • Staff

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.

You will need to upload the original .afphoto file, not the exported jpeg. This will include the text layers, which are rasterized and flattened in the exported jpeg.

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.
