RebDovid Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

RebDovid Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 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.

Gnobelix Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 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.

RebDovid Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Thank you. Changing the compression to LZW worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted March 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hi @Unknown, We are aware of this issue and it has already been logged with our developers. However this should only affect 32bit tiffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
