Staff Lee D Posted September 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 3, 2019 It sounds like the file association in Windows, once you have copied the images from your camera to a folder on your system. Right click on one of the image files and choose Open With > Choose another app. Scroll the list and locate Photos or the Windows Picture Viewer, enable Always use this app to open .xxx files and click OK. You may need to repeat these steps for any other files that are set to open Affinity Photo by default, this may include RAW files, JPEG, PNG etc. The only file type you don't need to do this for are .afphoto files, This is our own format and only our apps can open the files.

Carole Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Thank you for the reply I have tried that when it opens up it is saying the file is corrupt, however something jogged my memory about the Raw, I think I changed in my camera settings I have now changed it back to JPG it is now opening correctly with Windows photo viewer and I now have all my photos back that was on the card, Many thanks For the reply I hope this will help anyone else in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
