There is no Affinity-own image browser (DAM). It comes untouched (or with the changes by Affinity's develop assistant). When i re-open the previous raw file, it does *not* reflect the tonal changes i already made in the raw-specific 'Develop' persona. Even if you don't change a thing in 'Photo', you have to save the new '.afphoto' file.Ĥ.

So you have TWO files – the original raw and the edited, demosaiced version, which can't be set back to the original state (only to the edited state at the moment of changing from 'Develop' to 'Photo', demosaiced). You have to save the results from the editing in 'Photo' as a new, big. More edits including retouching, adjustment layers are possible (rather Photoshop-like).ģ. Now the edits are baked into the file and you arrive in 'Photo' persona. You open a raw file and start editing in the 'Develop' persona – contrast, sharpening etc. I understand the Affinity workflow for raw files goes like that:ġ.

While i saw many instructive Affinity videotutorials about specific editing tasks, the following questions seem to be unaddressed there.
