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.
