Surgio' Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I use Capture One to import and manage RAW files, and select a few for retouch through Affinity... issue is, Capture One uses the .tif extension and Affinity uses .tiff - so I wind up with two files. Is there a way to set Affinity to export as .tif instead? mac_heibu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 This should really be fixed, alongside with some more problems concerning the „.tif“ extension: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- S - Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Serif's insistence on forcing their users to use *.tiff is my number one issue with Affinity Photo. If one of their developers likes *.tiff for some odd, bizarre reason, then that's their choice. However, to force that choice on all their users is illogical and unacceptable. Everyone else uses *.tif, so I have no idea what they were smoking when they came up with this decision. It's possible to manually change the file extension, but firstly *.tif files still aren't visible in the file explorer from within Affinity Photo when saving, and secondly if you deal with a lot of TIFF files, it makes it a real PITA to work with. Users shouldn't have to fight the software to use *.tif. I've complained multiple times to allow us to use *.tif instead of *.tiff, but it always gets ignored; so I'm not sure what else we can do. I'm now at the point of wondering whether I should just use some other software instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Dan C Posted July 2, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi Surgio' As above this isn't currently possible in Affinity so I'll move this thread to Feature Requests and Feedback for our devs to see and consider! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

walt.farrell Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 5 hours ago, Dan C said: As above this isn't currently possible in Affinity Not completely true, Dan, at least on Windows During Export, a Windows user exporting a TIFF file sees something like this as the filename in the File Explorer dialog: unnamed.tiff If the user simply types somename.tif then Affinity Photo recognizes that the user wants to use the .tif extension, and saves it as a .tif instead of .tiff. Also, if one Opens a .tif file, and then saves it (Ctrl+S) it is saved as the original name.tif. If I remember correctly someone confirmed in another thread that this does not work on Mac, making it a Windows-only function. (Back then, I was initially going to propose the standard Windows-based accomodation for this, using quote marks ("somename.tif"}, but I found that Affinity didn't need the quotes.)
