If you select "Choose another app" you'll also get the option to make the selected program the default.
This will allow you to select the program you want to open the file with. DNG file and you'll get the option "Open with".

You can tell Windows what you want to open your files with, both by default and on a case by case basis. I really appreciate the help and don't feel as lost as I did. So is there a way I can go back to not importing the files automatically to AP and to do this only when I choose to do so?īy "disc" do you mean an external hard drive, dvd drive, either? I use an EHD for backup storage of my photo files but prefer not to work from it. I do still plan to use PSE for some processing and I'm not sure if I can even import one of these files to PSE without changing the file format. Most of the time I'm opening a photo file to simply view it, not process it and I process only a very small percentage of the files I keep, mostly those I want to print.
Thanks in advance.īut if all of my photo files are going to automatically open with AP that's a huge problem for me and I don't want that. As any one can tell I'm baffled and confused!Īny info or advice will be much appreciated. Or are apf files actually dng? That seems doubtful because I was unable to upload the merged file I created, now an apf, to photoshop elements, having to change it to a TIFF. Or does AP automatically convert raw files to it's own file type by default even when they have not been imported into AP or processed? If that's the case can that default setting be changed? I certainly don't want every raw file I create to be changed to apf. So what did I do wrong that all of these files were converted to a different file type? Did I inadvertently do a command the first time I opened and used AP that this is to be done? There certainly wasn't any such command when I wanted to look at the newly taken images as AP wasn't even open at that time. I don't know why it would make any difference but the camera is a Pentax K-1. I also found that some raw files on my backup external hard drive have been converted to apf files, I don't know how many. I've tried inserting two cards with only jpg files on them and none of this happened.
When I opened it AP started to process a file without any command to do so, doing exactly what I don't know. When I looked at the photos I had just taken all of the dng files on the card (it contained only dng files) had been converted to Affinity Photo files and that was hundreds of files. What happened is as follows: I took some lens comparisons shots that I had no desire to edit but wanted to look at on my computer (windows 10) and inserted the SD card into the computer. I would also comment that I'm an old guy who came to digital photography late and my general computer literacy is quite poor. My second experience with AP was very different because of something I have never experienced with another photo editing program and I have tried three but without achieving a very good skill level. Since this is a function I need often in my landscape photography and one of the main reasons I purchased AP, I was almost ecstatic at the result! It worked fantastically and easily - three or four clicks and I had an image with the three focus planes perfectly done. The first function I tried on AP was a focus merge of three photos. I would have done a forum search but couldn't see a way to so that.

I did look though the pdf AP user manual for information but couldn't find any. I also hope this isn't one of those newbie posted topics that have been posted many times already - if so please point me in the right direction. I hope this is the correct place to post it. I purchased Affinity Photo a few days ago and this is my first post.
