anthony d walker Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 New to AP. Why when I export edited photos does it not go to my picture file, well it does but I have to log into it in Affinity with a smaller photo. What am I doing wrong?

Staff Callum Posted March 20, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hi Anthony D Walker, I'm not sure what you mean by Picture File sorry could you provide more information? Are you going to File > Save or File > Export? Thanks Callum Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 When you say you "have to log into it" what is the 'it' you are talking about? Do you really mean you must do a log in procedure of some sort to access whatever location you want to export the file to, or do you perhaps mean you are trying to export the photo to a different application that maintains its own photo library or catalog? Also, are you a Mac or Windows user?

Sorry folks, I used the term 'log in' wrongly. I am on windows 10 and I use the pictures ap there. When I edit a photo, it comes up on windows 10 with AP file extension. When I click on to it instead of it being displayed in windows 10 I get diverted to AP and see a smaller version of it. Why can't I see it in windows 10 pictures file?

Ron P. Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 @anthony d walker, Are you exporting to a specific file format, if so what format? If you save it, then it is saved in Affinity proprietary working file format having the .afphoto file extension. These files can only be opened by Affinity products, as programs such as Windows Picture viewer are not able to read them. For any other format you must go to File>Export then select one of the formats to export your image in.

Are you refering to seeing your image file in Windows File Explorer? When you installed Affinity Photo it would associate most image file types with Photo, and tells Windows to use the Affinity icon when displaying file names in Explorer.

Why can't I see it in windows 10 pictures file? As I said above, the installation associates these image file types with Photo. If you right-click on the file, you will be offered the option of opening it with another program (such as Windows Picture Viewer). You can also change the default program that opens that file type.
