Paul Buckingham Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Who I use Affinity from the edit option in Apple Photos, the edited image does not save when it is returned to the transition screen in Apple Photos. I get an error message which in essence says unable to save try again later. I am running the latest beta of Catalina and have reported the issue to Apple as well. Is there some setting that I need to change. I have tried uninstalling Affinity Photo and reinstalling it but that has no effect.

emmrecs01 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 @Paul Buckingham Welcome to the Affinity forums. I have to start by saying I am not a Mac owner/user but I have received emails from at least two different manufacturers of audio software and VSTis asking that Mac users do not download and install Catalina because of "known incompatibilities/problems". I wonder whether Affinity apps are similarly affected?

markw Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hello Paul and welcome to the Affinity forums Actually this may not be the fault of Catalina (beta), but at least in part a problem within the latest retail version AP.

Paul Buckingham Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Both methods of editing in AP from Photos worked until I loaded Catalina Beta. Now they don't. I am considering a complete clean install when they release Catalina as the official OS. Have Affinity made any progress yet or I may have to consider dumping AP. emmrecs01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzypole Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Can be cured in Photo by clicking edit, click the circle with 3 dots, Manage. Untick all the Affinity extensions. Quit Photo. Relaunch Photo, click edit, click the circle with 3 dots, Manage. Tick all the Affinity extensions. But still get error if resizing upwards.

Paul Buckingham Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 Tried deselecting and resetting affinity extensions. It didn't have any effect at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I was able to import and save edited photo: As stated above import by extension, edit in Affinity Photo, export, then click share and the image will be stored in iCloud Photos. Not a great workflow. In another thread I created, I was informed that workflow will improve.

Skirker Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I just upgraded and installed this Catalina and now I am having the same problems. I can edit, but cannot save when returned to photos. This is not good. Is there a remedy? TGC22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark golding Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I believe the problem has something to do with the flattening of the photo as I played around with this at one point it ask me to save flattened and it when to photos don't no how I did it this is a real problem as I use my Mac pretty much only for photos Catalina really pissed me off hope this gets resolved soon because this process is more difficult in work flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmdegroot Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hi, I also have this problem.... the only "easy" solution is, when I have finished editing in Affinity, to Share to Photos. Then unfortunately the date and metadata are all lost..... but the photo is at least edited.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have not already found it there is a beta now that mostly works with Apple Photos on Catalina you can try.
