SimonPickad Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hi all, I’m trying to workout how to do the following.. 1. I have a photo in the Photo’s app. 2. I want to edit this in Affinity Photo - I can see I can impact from photos so this is ok. 3. Once I’ve finished my editing I want to save the fixes back over the original image in photos. How can I do this? As far as I can see there’s no way to do this, keep the date of the original, etc. What am I missing?

DM1 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 To save your edits back to photo library use Export, select format (jpg etc) then tap Share in bottom left corner and select Save Image. the original image will still be in Photo library.

Staff stokerg Posted April 15, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hi SimonPickad, You can export an image backout to the Photos app but it won't overwrite the original. To do this, just tap on the Document menu and select Export and on the Export screen, tap on the Share button and then Save Image and that image will then be added to the Photos app as a new image. I believe due to us not being passed a file name by the Photo's app, that's why we can't overwrite the original image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonPickad Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Ok, thanks for the replies, yep that was how I was doing it. Just seems like a few extra steps you need to manage. I wish I could edit the photo directly via an extension within the Photos app. Maybe I need to look for a different app for quick fixes / heals.

Ruby110 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Pixelmator Photo can overwrite the Photos original so there must be a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
