Problem to be solved:<\/p>\n

You’ve found an image in Apple Photos you want to edit in Affinity Photo, so you use the extension to open in Affinity Photo. You make some adjustments, add some layers, and then want to save in the native Affinity Photo format.  However because you opened through the extension, Save will only save it back to Apple Photos, and Save As is greyed out.<\/p>\n

Thanks to owenr in the Affinity Photo forums, there’s a trick using Snapshots to solve the problem.<\/p>\n

Requirements: Affinity Photo for Mac loaded on your system.<\/p>\n

Make Adjustments<\/h3>\n

In this example I duplicated a layer and added an adjustment layer.<\/p>\n

Not that Save is available (which saves back to Apple Photos, but Save As is greyed out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
