Feature Request : Support .afphoto file format
I, and many, use C1 + Affinity Photo for a complete workflow.
And while we can use layered TIFF files for our roundtrip workflow, those can sometimes get bloated quickly and can slow things down.
Alternatively, we can choose to use PSD files, but often will lose some of the edits on those layers we made in Affinity Photo.
Please... add support for the native Affinity Photo file (.afphoto) so we who choose NOT to stick with adobe can be truly free from them.
Thank you.

To be fair, Shane - this is the Feature Requests forum.
so we who choose NOT to stick with adobe can be truly free from them.
Nobody cares about your dysfunctional relationship with Adobe, John.

Functional or disfunctional relationships aside - support for .afphoto files would be great.

Support would be very difficult as Affinity have stated:
”Unfortunately our file format is not a conventional format like other image formats. It has been engineered with a number of requirements in mind, including fast iterative saves, scalability for fast initial opening, and to enable us to provide a single file format across all our apps whether it be raster, vector, multipage, etc. It also uses a very dynamic approach to saving document data, which would make it very hard to document in any meaningful way.
This was in no way an attempt to "lock in" our users. There is no other standard format that can achieve what we do. Anyone working on large raster documents should appreciate how much faster we can load and save our file format compared to other apps.
We do embed some preview images in our file. The details of this are currently under review as we expand the requirements of our format, so at this time we won't be releasing any information on this.
It is possible that we may provide details on how to access the preview image data at some point in the future, provided it requires no further details of our proprietary format. The problem we have is that if such information becomes public, then we have an extra responsibility to anyone who uses it - and that limits our ability to make changes.”

Don,
thanks for the clarification, I can't follow Affinity's arguments completely though.

Hmmm… I agree. Affinity’s reason doesn’t make all that much sense to me.
I’ve been able to see and access their files while using PhotoMechanic and if I recall, even bridge can see their files.
I’m not hoping for full integration with C1. Just the ability to use C1 in the same way I do with Tiffs and PSDs. A simple thumbnail and larger preview would be nice.

At least it should be no problem for C1, because you can see the preview images of afphoto files in Windows-Explorer! :)
