titch Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I photo merged images in Affinity..what a brilliant feature, saved the combined image on Desktop and tried to open it with NX-D but NX-D didn't show up in the "open with" drop down menu. How can I get Affinity to recognize NX-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Not sure I understand at all what you mean here, which "open with" drop down menu, where do you see this menu option in APh?

titch Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 On my Mac desktop. The left screenshot does not show NX-D from the affinity image but the right hand screenshot shows NX-D from a Photoshop or other software image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v_kyr Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Ok that's a Mac OS related selection choice and nothing AP specific. - Try to find NX-D then via the bottom "Other..." menu entry under "Open with ->" submenu and if it's shown access/select it.

v_kyr Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Still not sure what the OP means with Affinity image, so if an .aphoto or .tiff file here in this case (?). 12 hours ago, Pšenda said: As far as I understand, it's not Affinity file (afphoto), but exported TIFF, for which Affinity gives the *.tiff extension. While in the first case it is a TIFF with a *.tif extension. All you have to do is set the N-XD to open with *.tiff (v_kyr). However, you can't setup NX-D to how to treat itself TIFF files, aka in this case the TIFF file extension handling. One can only setup how it deals with opening in other files via it's own (Open with application) functionality. Thus NX-D recognizes in it's internal file browser/previewer as default only the three letter TIF vs the TIFF extension (at least in my used version here). Another point is that APh TIFFs are shown in a messed up way... ...so APh tiffs aren't really (re)usable here.

Ok I see it's a "tif" file and that should also be handled by NX-D, two other Nikon apps Capture NX2 and ViewNX-i are already associated to "tif" there. It might be that NX-D doesn't propagate itself to the OS to use/support that file extension, even it can handle this, since all Nikon DSLRs (and thus their software too) can deal with NEF(RAW), JPEG, and TIFF files.

walt.farrell Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Some of the Nikon programs won't handle TIF files unless the extension is .tif, but Affinity produces .tiff. We can see that in the OP's screenshot.

v_kyr Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I now tested that on my older OS X system here and here it works for "TIF" files ... But APh's batch conversion (which saves as xxx.tif and not xxx.tiff) does generally really do strange things when generating TIF/TIFF files here ... Thus I don't generate or export TIFF-files with APh at all on OS X, since it always messes up things. Instead I use GC or PSE etc. here then.

On Macs you can rename the file extension from .tiff to .tif or visa versa & the Affinity apps open them without issues. That includes files exported to the TIFF format from an Affinity app. Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think it's pretty fine and normal that in APh exporting creates "four_letter_ext.tiff" files, but batch processing instead then "three_letter_ext.tif" files. - Well maybe they should write out .tiffy files ...
