Kwills3 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I feel like I am simply overlooking something regarding this. I have already uploaded my RAW files onto my ipad in its own folder in Photos. When I attempt to import from "Photos," I do not see the option to pull in ALL of the photos. I have almost 300 photos I would like to work on but will not use Affinity if I must import one by one. Am I missing something? Pictures included to demonstrate my steps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Tap the + button and create a new project folder. Tap the new folder. Now drag up from bottom of screen to show the springboard. Drag the photo library icon up on to the project folder and let it go. Library will open over the folder. Navigate to your raw folder then tap Select. Select all the files you want. When you have selected them all, touch and drag one of the files onto the project folder. You should see a green + sign, and can now release the file. All the selected files will now be copied into the AP Project folder. Once in there you can edit and export. Note: You can only delete one at a time within AP.

Prompts you to name new project (done) This is where I am lost below the new project, there is only Tutorials and Samples. Picture is of the screen directly after step 3 above Picture wont load but new folder is at the top and sample and tutorial at the bottom plus button, gear and question mark still at top right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Mudditt Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 As Dave states above you can drag many photos into Affinity but please don’t try to use AP as if it was Lightroom, it is similar to Photoshop so really designed for one photo at a time editing. One second warning is the drag and drop method pulling multiple photos will not import the RAW files but a JPG version of each file. Only using your first method can you import a RAW file, you can tell because a RAW file will open in Develop Persona, if the file opens in Photo Persona it isn’t the RAW file. And to re-iterate Dave’s warning, you can only close and delete one file at a time from the Affinity Sandbox so not a good strategy to pull many photos in at once.

Good point Paul. Worth noting though that you can import multiple RAW images this way via Pixave (free management app).

Paul Mudditt Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hi Dave, good to know !.I bought Pixave over a year ago but haven’t used it much as I was so dependent on IOS photos compression capabilities. Might give it a try again now I’m on 2TB iCloud... Quote My dad always told me, a bad workman always blames their tools…. Just waiting for Ronny Pickering…..
