ianrb Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 What have done or not done ?. I did have Ap as the default ext editor; however after opening a file with Nic Color pro 2; I cannot get Ap to be the default again. From memory, I had a few dramas originally . >> Lr preferences > external editing > choose >Affinity > photo icon --- however that does not replace the Nic apps. The work around is export >folder > Ap > open > save > import to Lr . yep much easier straight from lr5 Would be great if we could remove the Ps option so we can have two defaults Thanks for your thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 What happens when you press Choose then navigate to the Photo.exe and select it again? It look like LR forgot where that file is located. After doing that you may have to Save it as a new preset and possibly name or rename it. Quote Affinity Photo 2.4..; Affinity Designer 2.4..; Affinity Publisher 2.4..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

Sheltieuk Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 This is how I have Lightroom 5 set up to use Affinity as an external Editor and it works for me:- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Up to now, Ian. I have had no significant problems. Later. choose my image to be utilised by Affinity Photo. From memory - jpeg, Though I should consider TIFF. Hope that helps!

ianrb Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'm getting this today with those similar setting to @Sheltieuk Simple stuff like this really getting under my skin And once I had it set up @Jaffa I have had no drama; although if I did open a file in another App (nic) I needed to reset Ap as default editor --- didn't work this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrb Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Now don't ask the simple question as I have no idea how made it work even though it's now somewhat different Thanks for help and ideas; I'm sure one has worked somehow .
