Replace Image not working


Recommended Posts

I choose an image, click “Replace Image” button, choose an .afphoto file, click Open and presto! Nothing happens. The same jpeg stays where it was, the new image does not appear or replace it.

Think I got it. Perhaps it is because .afphoto is treated like a document format and not an image format?

Maybe, but then it shouldn't let you choose one, or at a minimum should toss up an error instead of simply ignoring you.

Ah hell, I think you both may be correct.

Treated like a document makes sense of some of the problems I have been having.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

So cruel. Not all images are treated equal :D

Bear in mind that the three Affinity applications use the same file format, so from that perspective Photo = Designer = Publisher and placing a document from Affinity Photo is no different from placing one for Affinity Publisher...

In that sense, it makes sense that it may behave differently in the document, but it would be sensible to be able to replace any image with another, even one that is handled differently once it's placed. But as we know, many wrinkles will be smoothed.

OT: I love the amount of thought-out features in these apps. They keep surprising me.

Note that placed image files (.jpg, .png, .tiff) show up in the Layers panel as (Image) layers.

Placed documents (.pdf, .psd, .eps, .svg, .afphoto, .afdesign, . afpub) show up as (Embedded Document) layers.

They act differently, and are manipulated differently.
