teamhill Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 When I open a .tif file with a curve layer in Affinity Photo, the curve profile is not there. The curve layer is there but no curve. The same file opened in Photoshop has the curve. When the file is opened in Photoshop and immediately saved as a .psd file, then opened in Affinity Photo, the curve is there. .psd files seem to work in Affinity Photo but not .tif. Other layers in this .tif file seem to be unaffected such as Vibrance--they work fine. A Levels layer works fine as well. Only seems like a Curve Layer problem.

Old Bruce Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Was Photoshop used to edit and export the .tif file? Been so long since I used Photoshop I can't remember if there is some sort of setting for adjustment layers being exported as editable.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamhill Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Can't tell if it's a Photoshop thing because I don't have anything else to make Photoshop files. For sure, there isn't a setting preventing editing. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 It is my understanding that TIFF files do not have native support for layers. Some applications store layer information (PS, Affinity) but they do so in proprietary, undocumented formats. When you try to read, for example, a PS-saved TIFF file with PS layers in some other application you will normally get a flattened version of the image, and you do not get all the layer content. The same would be true trying to read an Affinity-saved TIFF file with Affinity layers in any other program. The image would be there, but the layer information is lost because the format is not known to anything but the Affinity applications.

teamhill Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Thanks for the input. Still, it's a deficiency and it's isolated to the curves layer. Others, like Levels do not seem to be affected nor any other I've seen. The point being, there's either something to fix or a "switch" to be set that'll solve the problem.

Staff Gabe Posted June 26, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hi @teamhill, Sorry for the delayed reply. Can you attach the file in question? It's most likely what @walt.farrell mentioned, and not much we can do. Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
