Repeat, on anything, click edit, then click.Click edit, make some changes and it works.
So the link out to AP does not fully work. Clicking on the link from APP to AP causes AP to open the original file. That gives a beautiful workflow with LR showing the current status and AP used to make edits based on the view just displayed by LR.īut APP does not work this way. The crucial difference is that LR asks the question "edit including Lightroom settings?" when jumping to AP. That is very useful, especially if you wish to retain a raw file (typically 25MB and more) as a reference and use that to drive further changes and outputs in various formats, without the overhead of retaining multiple, large versions of the file.īoth LR and APP have a link to AP. As such, your view of the image through either reflects the most recent changes made, but the underlying file is not changed. It almost works (creating a neat DAM/editing solution to rival Adobe Lightroom (LR), but the link is broken in one significant place.īoth LR and APP work in a similar fashion: they are catalogues that retain information about the development status of photos and allow you to make non-destructive changes. I have been doing an extensive amount of work on the link between NeoFinder (NF), Apple Photos(APP) and Affinity Photo ( AP).

So the Apple and Affinity workflow is half way complete, but the ability to use the full power of AP is not there unless you create a new file and edit that independently in AP. When leaving AP you are asked if you want to save changes, and these are preserved back to APP. If it is a raw file you end up in raw processing and have to develop as usual. If you choose 'Edit in Affinity Photo' from the APP extensions options you get the full AP window, but with the original file, NOT the latest APP edited version. Making changes followed by 'save changes' returns you to APP with the changes intact. On the right hand side you just get that set of editing options, but not the full AP interface. If you select any of these other options, for example Affinity Retouch, you get the window supplied by APP that tells you to edit in AP then exit. Going from Apple Photos (APP) to Affinity Photos ( AP) there are several options other than 'edit in AP'. Nothing much seems to have changed, except that I noticed the following behaviour.

Copy over that file to the Windows machine, and place it in the abeMeda database folder.I can add some more information. Use Reveal in Finder for a selected catalog in the LIBRARY of NeoFinder, and the catalog file for this catalog is displayed in the Finder. Copy over that entire folder to your Windows machine, and either place it in an existing abeMeda database folder, or tell abeMeda to use that folder as its database folder.Īs NeoFinder creates separate database files for each volume or folder you catalog, you can transfer these separately as well. That will show the NeoFinder database folder. Select LIBRARY in NeoFinder, and use Reveal in Finder. You can also move your entire database from Mac to Windows or Windows to Mac. Many companies use networks with both platforms using one shared database folder.
