SilkyPix Doesn't See Tiffs Exported From Affinity Photo Beta


Recommended Posts

My current workflow with images from my Panasonic LX100M2 involves culling in FastRawViewer, developing in SilkyPix Developer Studio 8 SE, and, when it seems necessary or desirable, doing additional editing in Affinity Photo Beta (with the latest build, now 1.7.0293). My computer is running Windows 10.

After working on an image in Affinity Photo or Affinity Photo Beta, I can export the result as a JPEG and see it in SilkyPix. Likewise, I can export the resulting image from Affinity Photo as a TIFF and see it in SilkyPix. But a TIFF exported from Affinity Photo Beta cannot be seen in SilkyPix, even though I can see it in FastStone Image Viewer and FRV.

I hope this glitch can be addressed before the beta process is completed.

TIA

My guess: SilkyPix is looking only for files with a .tif extension, not the .tiff that Affinity produces.

If so, when you're exporting, then instead of letting Affinity assign the extension you can simply type .tif at the end of the filename.

Edit: Or possibly you can configure SilkyPix to look for both.

My apologies. I should have mentioned that, before posting here, I tried renaming the APB-exported file. "Tif" worked no better than "tiff." Likewise unsuccessful was changing the extension from "tiff" to "tif" before exporting from APB, which I tried in response to your post. In doing so, however, I discovered that, in SilkyPix, the File/Open approach to displaying and opening files showed the APB file name, but not the image.

Hello @RebDovid,
no it is not the file extension TIFF, the problem is the compression from Affinity Photo (Beta -293)
SilkyPix does not like the ZIP compression generated by the Beta 1.7
Set the compression on none or on LWZ, and SilkyPix  even opens TIFF files.
Cheers

Hi Gnobelix,

i use Affinity Photo 1.9.1.979 with the same effect: for me it is not possible to open TIFF files (create in  affinity) in SilkyPix DSP 10.

The same with to set the compression in affinity on none or on LWZ.

 

Windows 10 Pro / Version  20H2 Build 19042.868

How are you saving the TIFF files? Via Save, or via Export?
