Hozz Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I have been using Photoshop until now but since the introduction of Mac Sierra many people, including me, have had problems printing from Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. Adobe recognise the problem but as yet have not put out a fix. Does anyone with Mac Sierra know if these problems affect Affinity Photo also before I spend money buying this app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSfoto1956 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 sorry, not yet. I generally won't upgrade my OS software until it reaches "version 3". MacOS and IOS are currently on version 2. I expect in the next few months I'll be able to answer this question for you. OTOH, my methodology for printing on all of my Macs hasn't changed in the past 5 years: I save a specifically sized/sharpened JPEG file to disk (one for each print/paper size), giving it a name like "xxxx.16x20.EEM.jpg". I then print all my JPEGs using Preview to whatever printer I have on the network. Note that I don't care where the file originated. Further, contrary to most photographers, I back up all the final print files to the cloud (not the original RAWs). I know this doesn't answer your question, but I use dozens of applications and I needed a way to have consistent printing. My solution works for me and I won't be changing it come the Sierra upgrade. YMMV. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hozz Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 I have now bought Affinity Photo and am pleased to report that the printing works fine on Mac OS Sierra. Needless to say the printing problems still exist with Photoshop until Adobe finds a fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Which version of Sierra? There was an update to 12.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 And: Which version of Photoshop? As far as I know, actual CC-versions work well. Only legacy versions – especially CS 5 have issues in printing. And, if the newest update of MacOS doesn't fix this, I think, it will never work again. There definitely won't be an update for a 6 year old application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 31, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hi Mike in France, Welcome to the Affinity forums :) Do you mean that the release notes for Sierra suggest a printing error has been fixed in 10.12.1?
