Raul GM Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi, I have just updated to the 1.7.1 Mac OS X version on my iMac -- Mojave 10.14.5 (18F132). Everything seemed to run very fluently and better the above version, but when I try to save the changes, Photos App doesn´t update the photos, so all the work done on Affinity Photo have no effect on the files... I hope this information was enough to solve this issue very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enkidu Jones Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I've been holding on to Aperture, but as that's going away with the next release of MacOS, this functionality for Photos + AP is going to become pretty important! Hopefully it can be fixed relatively quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 If you're asking about preserving adjustments to raw photos, it's important to know that this has never been an Affinity Photo feature. See this answer from their QA/Support staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enkidu Jones Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 No, this is not about raw photos. The process is this: in Photos, choose to edit a photo in AP (right-click in Photos) and select "Edit with…" and choose AP. The photo opens in AP and is editable. What should happen then is if I save the photo in AP (just using command-S), it should update automatically in Photos. This works if you were to use Preview or Pixelmator to edit the photo. My understanding is that it worked with previous versions of AP. Command-S appears to save the photo in AP now, but it does not update in Photos.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enkidu Jones Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 To be clear, the problem is not that AP doesn't save photos, it is that it no longer works in unison with Apple's Photos app. Previously it was possible to right-click on a photo in the Photos app, select AP from the "Edit with…" menu option, and the photo would be opened in AP. When you then saved that photo in AP (pressing command-S was sufficient), the photo in the Photos app was updated with the changes. This no longer works.

Staff MEB Posted July 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hi Raul GM, Enkidu Jones, Welcome to Affinity Forums We are already aware of this issue. I'm sorry the inconvenience this is causing you. Please use the Edit in Affinity Photo extension instead as suggested/explained in my post linked below since it does save the changes back to Apple Photos. Thank you for your support.

Raul GM Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hi MEB, It works!!!! Thank you for your reply (and sorry for my late one). Affinity Photo is my favorite editing software again MEB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealthychef Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I have looked at the referenced forum posting that says to use the ellipses button in the Edit dialog to launch Affinity Photo. I do so and I still get the error mentioned here. What am I doing wrong? I still get "Unable to Save Changes for “Edit in Affinity Photo”" error. "An error occurred while saving. Please try again later." I'm using the latest version I presume as it's from the App Store on Catalina. Sometimes I get "Unable to edit with "Edit in Affinity Photo". "An unexpected error occurred." I want to use this product but have never been able to get it to work. Please help! Thanks. Here is a video of me trying to use the software. Am I doing something wrong? Any workarounds? https://youtu.be/iLciJRLQFmg Apologies in advance for the terrible audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hello wealthychef and welcome to the Affinity forums, Unfortunately using macOS Catalina there is still as yet no round trip of an image between Apple Photos and Affinity Photos.

Staff MEB Posted January 2, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hi wealthychef, Welcome to Affinity Forums As markw pointed out above the extension workaround only work on Mojave and earlier macOS versions. macOS Catalina has broken the extension compatibility. We hope to have both issues fixed in Affinity Photo 1.8. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
