No, no. I was evaluating AP as a possible substitute for Photoshop. So
Edit-in-Affinity must be able to accept a TIFF file, edit that into a
layered TIFF, then write it back to Lightroom, just like Photoshop
does. Ie: the workflow expected by your regular Lightroom user.
It can't do that. So ... /next/.

That’s great, but if you’re using AP as your external editor for LR,
why are you using Photoshop to generate files?

Godfrey, then it must have been a year ago then. They were pushing
the
impending release with a big social media and blogging sites
campaign
and urging folks to give the beta a test as it was to be released
shortly.
You don't _make_ a layered file in Lightroom. You receive one back
into Lightroom from an external editor, like Photoshop.
Example: starting in Lightroom with a DNG file in your library, you
invoke Edit-in Photoshop. That sends the file to Photoshop where it
appears as a single layer in a freshly opened file.
You edit this. Create some adjustment layers. Now Save.
That sends the edited copy of the file back to Lightroom as a
layered
TIFF where it appears in the catalog as a new file. I stack that
with
the original for less confusion.
If you re-edit that edited TIFF you will find that the entire thing
is
there intact with all layers, meta info, etc.
Clear?

Since Affinity Photo was still in beta release in mid-spring of
2017 and didn't go final until after August 2017 far as I can tell, I
doubt you were working with the "final beta" if it was a couple of
years ago.
I don't really understand the workflow that your comments propose.
I'm not entirely sure how I make a "layered TIFF" or "layered PSD" file
in Lightroom to begin with. Lightroom's use of layers is internal. ??
But for sure, if it's all of Photoshop that you want, just use
Photoshop.

I'm certainly willing to update my opinion about Affinity's
capabilities, but I was unable to complete a review of it myself
when
I tested their final beta a couple of years ago.
The first issue I had was completely wacky colour shifts when I
imported a file from Lightroom. I assume they have fixed that by
now.
But the utter deal-killer was that although you can configure it
as an
external editor to Lightroom and it will import a layered TIFF,
it
cannot write a layered TIFF (or a PSD) back to Lightroom. So if I
used
it as an external editor I lost all my carefully constructed
layers
when the file was flattened to save it back. That is 100% useless
to
me as my files often make a few round trips to the external
editor
while I make revisions, or in the case of long retouch, save
checkpoints or continue editing later on.
This is till the case as far as I can tell from googling.

I can say with assurance that they do not. The majority of

Affinity Photo is not going after Lightroom, it's definitely a
Photoshop replacement. I have it and it's *very* good. Probably
a step
up from Photoshop CS6.
