This tutorial was very helpful with understanding the "edit with-open with" procedure and also preserving the layers for future editing and use of tiff files. Thanks again for your expertise Scott!
Thank you Meyou. Always nice to see your comments. I'm glad you found the video useful.
Excellent video and very instructive. Shows how powerful and quick Capture One and Affinity are.
Thank you again.
Thank you Michael. Capture One and Affinity Photo really do work well together. I use both daily.
Just what I needed for my Capture One workflow... thanks for helping to simplify the open/edit functions
You are very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment 👍
Kudos. This was excellent (as usual)
Thank you very much 😃
excellent tutorial carried out at a pace that is easy to follow, very informative and easy to listen to.
Thank you very much Steve.
This is veeeery useful for me. Capture One and Affinity Photo are my favorite apps, but I don't know how to interact between them. Thanks a lot, Scott.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow this was the first time I realy understand the difference between editing and opening. Realy realy great. Thanks one thousend times.
Me too.
That is great 😃I am very pleased the video has helped.
👍
Great work again Scott. Cheers keep the good work going :)
Thank you Geoffery. More videos are on the way 😃
Thank you so much! You are like sent from God. Will definitely go on with Affinity Photo when I get C1 a little more under my finger tips.
You are very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to comment 😃
Brilliantly done. Many thanks.
Thank you Mark.
Really nice job, thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much 😃
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
You are welcome Mac.
Great explanation! Thank you so much!
You are very welcome Miguel.
Great video. Thanks Scott. Have just finished with my Adobe subscription in favour of Capture One plus Affinity (which I already have) having settled within the Fujifilm eco-system. I loved LrC but it has become clear to me that you can’t achieve the very best results from Fujifilm RAW files with Adobe (as is well recorded in many TH-cam videos). I was wary of another unwanted learning curve but your videos are making the process painless. 😀
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent explanation, Scott. Nice photo.
My main use of Capture One and/with Affinity Photo is for real estate (houses, primarily) photos. And this require the use of several shots of each room [Ambient and Flash(es) ... sometimes with several flashes that need to be composited]. As far as I can tell/find out, when multiple layers are sent "Edit with" to Affinity Photo, there is only only layer (background, as it were) that shows in Affinity, and the other layers are not there.
Where as with Light Room and PhotoShop, all layers that are sent to PhotoShop from Light Room show up as individual layers.
Sooooo, since that doesn't happen with Capture One and Affinity I have to Export the individual layers from Capture One and then open Affinity and then import them via the "New Stack" option.
This wastes a lot of time ... especially when one has many, many photos to process from Capture One to Affinity and then back to Capture One.
So, Scott, do you know of a way to have Capture One and Affinity Photo handshake more efficiently ... as with the Light Room and PhotoShop roundtrips?
Thanks, Chuck (N.E. Florida) : +)
The latest version of Capture One supports HDR merging.
This was brilliant, I can use this! Thank you! If the original image was imported into C1P using 'inside catalogue' will an 'edit with' tiff modified in Affinity also automatically be stored in C1P 'inside catalogue'?
Thank you. I only use sessions but I should think so.
Great video Scott, as usual! I have been using .psd files between C1P Sony and Affinity Photo, and the "save" in Affinity overwrites the file in C1P as per the TIFF file you demonstrated. Does .psd or TIFF have any particular advantages over the other please? Thanks Scott.
The reason I use tiffs is because that when you use "edit with" or "open with" from Capture One using psd and then make an edit. Affinity Photo does not save the psd file back on exit. It tries to save an affinity photo file. To save back as psd you have to manually export the file back into the same location in psd format. With tiff files the process is seamless.
Remarkable! Thank you! 👍👍👍
Thank you Jules. And thank you for taking the time to comment.
@@ScottWilliamsPhotography Welcome, Scott.
Nice video Scott, thanks!
I have the same worflow, except the color profil, i choose Adobe RVB.
Cheers Patrick.
Very informative as usual Scott. Would you consider a similar video showing an efficient workflow for sending multiple files from capture one to affinity to be stitched together as a panorama, or focus stacked.
Many thanks.
That is something I would like to do. Though you can't send images to Affinity Photo in this way. They will not be imported as a stack for merging. I would output your required images to a folder and then import them as a stack, HDR merge or focus merge in Affinity Photo.
Great video! question, what do I need to do in Capture 12 in order to recognize Affinity Photo? I can only open it, but not edit it. Thank you!!
Thanks Mario. I'm sorry but I have no idea. I have never come across that problem before. I would suggest leaving a message on the Affinity forums,
Your videos are very helpful. I'm contemplating leaving Creative Cloud, predominantly Lightroom with some light Photoshop and migrate to Capture One Express and Affinity Photo. Will take some relearning.
Thank you Darren. I have no regrets making the switch a few years ago. It takes some adjusting but after a little while you will be at home with Affinity.
@@ScottWilliamsPhotography that's encouraging to hear. Now I understand the modules better and found the adjustment brushes and neutral density gradient tool I can more closely replicate how I work in lightroom. Time to cancel my CC subscription I think.
Great video.As an Ex Adobe User I can truly say that I am very happy with both these programs.Would be nice if Capture One would also have a IPad version.Thx for the video.
Capture One and Affinity Photo do make a great combo.
Great video Scott. I was wondering if there is a way to create a stack within my C1 Catalogue similar to how Lightroom does it. I don’t want to have multiple images showing on my film strip of all edits made outside of C1.
You can only stack variants of the same image i'm afraid. I would really like the ability to stack different formats of the same image as in Lightroom.
Interesting, I use a similar workflow though I usually save as an 8 bit single layer tiff when I'm sure I've finished editing, still recognised by C1 even if you exported as 16 bit, and saves a lot of space. Particularly good shots I'll keep the affinity files for of course.
That would save space. I always keep my work intact without flattening the tiff as I always think I may come back to it some day. Thanks for leaving a constructive comment 😃
Good video, thank you! Can you tell why you prefer Tiff to .psd files? Affinity deals with both, doesn’t it? Aren’t Tiff files also much bigger than .psd?
The reason I use tiffs is because that when you use "edit with" or "open with" from Capture One using psd and then make an edit. Affinity Photo does not save the psd file back on exit. It tries to save an affinity photo file. To save back as psd you have to manually export the file back into the same location in psd format. With tiff files the process is seamless. If you choose the same bit depth and use compression then both are about the same size.
Scott Williams Photography Thank you!
Great Tutorial, been looking into round tripping from Affinity to C1. Im unable to save back into C1 for some reason. When in Affinity I save, but it brings up the usual save folder location. Any suggestions please?
Cheers James. I've never seen that problem before. Are you using "edit with" or "open with" and choosing the TIFF file format? Maybe it is your file associations. Try right clicking on a tiff in windows and choosing "open with", then choose or locate affinity photo. This may work. I would also leave a message on the Affinity forums. The people there are very helpful.
Hi Scott, I think I have managed to sort it. Im using a macbook. so when you X'd out your PC you where given the save option. The mac gave me save as option. So in short I tried the save option and then I was given the layers instruction. So all Good. Question. (Im a Affinity newbie) how do you send multiple images to affinity from C1 for doing Pano or Blending? really in a bit of a mire trying to work it out. Thanks
That's awesome - I'm amazed how sharp everything is to say it was shot at f2.8!! where was your focus point?
Cheers Peter. I was focusing of the conductor. It is sharp because it's at 28mm from a distance.
Thank you !! :😊
You are very welcome Leo. Thank you for taking the time to comment 👍😃
Hi Scott, great tutorial I was playing around with the trial version of Capture One last night and for the life of me I couldn't work out how to get an edited image from Capture One to Affinity many thanks for this tutorial.
With regards to the 10% code, it doesn't appear to be working, I'm getting "The promotion code doesn't exist" message!
You are very welcome. And thanks for the heads up on the code 👍
Sorry I'm new to this. my simple question for now is Why would I want affinity photo when i have capture one? I assume its because I can make a 2nd save (permanent change) file and offers more edit options? I've skimmed video for now. Ill rewatch full later
Capture one is an image organisation program with basic editing(though quite advanced). You would import, organise and edit composition and colour in capture one. Affinity photo is an advanced image editor where you would do things like image clean up, compositing, adding text, advanced retouching and a whole heap of other advanced operations. Though it has no image organisation tools. For me they complement each other. Though depending on what you do with your images you may not need both.
@@ScottWilliamsPhotography Thank you!
Also Capture One is very good with RAW Sony files & I shoot Sony. Bought on sale & use with Affinity Photo for image editing. It’s a very good combo instead of Adobe LR & PS. Although I prefer PS just not subscription
I see the similarities between Lightroom and Capture One....and Affinity Photo and Photoshop! I like the workflow. I now see the advantages! It's wonderful. On a design note: Is there a reason you did not edit the perspective lines? I'm curious.
The workflow is very useful. You only have to go into an image editor if you need to so it is much quicker when you have a whole bunch of images to edit. For this image there is just no need to edit the perspective.
I have Capture One21 and have just downloaded Affinity Photo. Having watched several C1 to AP workflow videos, I'm still at a loss. I followed the process of 'edit with' (both ways) and all it does is load a variant .tif image under the .RAF image that was being used. Both applications are open. Help! 🤷🏻♂️
I have no idea what is going wrong.
@Scott Williams Photography it's sorted now. The Affinity team showed me the way! I had to go into C1 preferences and manually add AP as a plug-in for editing.
I may have missed it, but what does Affinity Photo’s tools bring to the party that Capture One’s tools can’t do? Everything shown has a counterpart in Capture One.
Capture one does not have tone mapping and it's clean up tools are much more limited.
This is my WorkFlow
Cool 😃
I hope Capture One adds .afphoto support to C1 V20. The native .afphoto has so many advantages. Super fast savings of only differences of an edit instead of saving each time the whole file, 128 GB or TB or so file size, where TIFF is limited to 4 GB and Psd to 2 GB. As soon C1 supports .afphoto, you may get rid of Adobe subscription
It would be nice to have .afphoto support. Though I have yet to reach the file size limit when using tiff's and it is plenty fast enough for me.
Cant you get the same quality photo with just using affinity photo?
Yes you can. But it is quicker to do the basic adjustments in Capture one.
what does affinity do that capture one cannot
Capture one is an image organiser with limited editing. Mainly focused on colour and brightness editing with limited image clean up tools. Affinity photo is a fully featured image editing application with powerful features such and compositing and frequency separation. Though it does not have image organisation tools. They complement each other. If I had to own just one it would be Affinity Photo.
If I only knew why C1 does not see my Affinity Photo app in the "open with". It does not appear as a choice in the "Open With Plugin" and neither does C1 learn it when I browsed for the .exe. C1 reinstall did not help. 😣 Maybe it has something to do with the file type associations.
I had the same issue , but now with the new update released last week the problem been solved.
@@LP-kr4gb Thanks!
If the problem persists try right clicking on a raw file or a tiff in windows explorer and choosing "open with". Then choose Affinity Photo. If it is not on the list of programs then you may need to browse for it and add it. Make sure to set it as the default program. This has been known to work in the past. I hope you get it sorted and you are missing out on a great workflow.
Thanks! And guess what, I am using C1 and AF because of your videos 😀 I got one of those Huion tablets as well recently.
@@ScottWilliamsPhotography Ha! That did the trick. Let Windows associate my RW2 files with AP and presto! C1 sees it. Lovely.
why not use PSD file to go to affinity
I just read the answer in the comment below ..... keep up the good work Scott
I will try my best 😃
