Cecil Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I import Apple Photos into Affinity Photo, from iPadOS using Shortcut. My problem, I cannot export or save completed work to Apple Photos. Process, I export to iCloud, select Photos and any method I select fails to save finished work in Apple Photos. It will save work on iPad local storage.

Or doing do you mean IOS Shortcut? The way i've always saved back to Apple Photo, after bringing up the Export window and selecting my format, i then tap on the Share button and select Save Photo. This adds the edited image to Apple Photos locally. Cecil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 I will edit to Shortcut, thanks and try the share to save to Photos. This has to be changed, IMHO.

Would you be able to provide a screen recording of the short cut that didn't work. I'm not sure if we are talking about the Shortcuts iPadOS lets you create or the the ones that show by default. If there has been a change in standard behaviour i can at least get logged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Export to share, just seems strange. I realized I had to create Shortcut to get the photo to open; however, Affinity Photo could or should be able to save a file back to iCloud Photos or my iPad local storage or USB or HD connected to iPad. Thanks.

Thanks. Support for USB drives is on its way. It's not been forgotten about so watch this space I also agree the saving process could be easier but from my understanding we are restricted to what the OS allows us to do.
