Ralli Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Hello everyone , I am new to this forum and Affinity and I am sure this topic is covered already somewhere in this forum. in anyway , lots of questions. I am trying to get familiar with AP and I am currently running the trial version of AP ( Ver: 1.6.11 ) on my Mac ( Mojave 10.14.4 ). After developing multiple RAW images , I cannot save as JPEG after developing in the 'Develop Persona'. Is this because of the trial version? I develop multiple pics , go to 'batch process' and under 'New Batch Job' click Add (Sources) , but it does not show the developed files to choose. Sorry for the stupid question , but I read , that AP has quite some issues with batch processing?? At first glance , I like AP if I could save my work!

A matter of semantics, we have to export the jpegs not 'Save As...' this is done either through the Export Persona or the menu item File > Export... 5 minutes ago, Ralli said: I develop multiple pics , go to 'batch process' and under 'New Batch Job' click Add (Sources) , but it does not show the developed files to choose. Have you saved the files? Photo can't read the open, developed documents until they are saved to a location on your hard drive. That threw me for quite a while.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralli Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 I saved the files ( AFP ) , now I can select the pics under 'Sources' , do the other settings 'save to...and so on...... , but it says 'No jobs are running'. Nothing happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Is there any reason why you cannot use a batch job for the entire process? You can create a batch job that will read each of a set of RAW files, develop them using the default preset, then apply one or more macros to them, before saving each as a jpeg.

Ralli Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Thank you for your help everybody. But that is tooo complicated for me. AP has some nice features that I really like. But saving criss cross all over the place....not for me. With the current program I am using , I develop my pics , select them , specify a destination folder and bang on. THX again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB, in a batch job, you can specify the destination folder as you wish.
