Late to the Adobe Firefly party, but, I have been playing around with Firefly for two days now, and, I am VERY impressed with the results! Much joy and easy to bring hours after hours with Firefly… Recommend others to join the Beta-part of Firefly.

Stay with Photoshop - you happy, we happy… There are alot of features that goes first priority compair to support DDS/DXF, like Blend Tool, Spiral Tool, more AI-tools etc etc…

Piece of cake to run Windows on Mac for free… UTM and a ”free” version of Windows 11 Arm have made my Macbook Pro M1 being able to test Affinity Suite on Windows, and, perhaps old Serif software…

Not a big deal - there are alot of free RAW-whatever-converters out on the market. Many for free…

Hold in mind that Adobe have 30 million subscribers and Adobe bringing in over 11 billion dollars every year… Serif Lab is doing what they can after the economical situation… Hire pro developer/programmers is expensive, very very expensive…

Yes, I’ve in the beta (16.5 beta 3)…

Hi again @EmT Sorry, but I can’t find any better log than the one I uploaded above… Did HDR Merge yet another time now (same crash out to springboard/desktop) - went in for searching in settings in my iPad Pro M1, but, nothing with todays date other then I’ve have uploaded… Do every crash in all Affinity Suite write a crash report?

OK - thanks for testing this… Here is a screenrecording and a crashreport attached (although I’m unsure which file to send)… RPReplay_Final1683109531.mp4 Photo iPad Beta.wakeups_resource-2023-05-03-121924.ips

f***in’ great and really awesome work! The envy is great towards your talent!

Pretty impressed what online AI tools do these days… Uploading three pictures (small part of a bigger pictures) that showing before and after AI sharpening/colorizing…

What are we looking after? See screenshot…

Still, can’t find anything there concering Developing… It must be Desktop only…?

@Hangman @walt.farrell I don’t see any ‘Develop Assistans settings’ on the iPad version of Affinity Photo…

Walt, tried your suggestion and convert the nine RAW-files to Tiff in Photo 2.10 17.81, but, then the next bug occurs - all nine Tiff-files got super underexposed, totally worthless to use in an HDR Merge… Tried the same Batch job from RAW (.ARW) to Tiff in Photo 2.04, and, all nine sourcefiles get the right exposure… Took the nine Tiff-files from Photo 2.04 into 2.10 17.81 and tried HDR Merge - Voila, working fine! But, the annoying vignetting stills occur (not present on the original files)… So, there’s two bugs in Photo 2.10 build 19.81 (iPad M1/M2) - HDR Merge from rawfiles and Batch Job from rawfiles to both Tiff and JPG…

Walt, more testing done - crashing with HDR Merge only concern M1 iPads, not iPads with A-cpu:s… Have tried reinstall Photo 2.10 beta 17.81, but, with same crash on my M1 iPad Pro… The strange thing with the vignetts that occur in the end result when I Merge in my Mac, non of the nine source files has sign of vignett? So, to summarize, the M1 iPad Pro is the problem in 2.10 17.81 - just working fine in v2.04 and v1.92 on the same iPad Pro M1…

Thanks @Hangman for testing this… The crashing is only in my iPad Pro 12.9” M1, not seen in both Mac or Windowsversions of Photo 2.10 beta 1789… Have you tested this raw-files with an iPad, or, just in desktop versions?

This occurs even on iPad…

@Hangman thanks for the tips on lens correction - I will test this when I arrive at home this evening… But, this problem with vignetting only occur in the beta versions of Affinity Photo… Sending an zip archive with the nine RAW-files as soon I can… Archive.zip

Hi @Callum - I’ve started a new thread in the suggested area… And, I will upload the pictureserie that crashes my iPad, and, getting vignettes in endresult in both Mac and iPad (v2.04)…

Hi there! Bought an camera 2019 that has not been much used (Sony RX-100 mark VI), but, yesterday I loaded it and took some bracketing pictures just to test HDR Merge into Affinity Photo 2.10 17.89. Had a serie of nine pictures to test, but, Photo 2.10 is crashing after the pictures is loaded… Tested same nine pictures into Affinity Photo 2.04 and that works flawless - the same happened with my Macbook Pro, working fine in 2.10 beta… Strange thing number two: on both 2.04 (iPad) and Mac 2.10 this HDR merge endresult have a strange vignette in all corners? Is that a bug also? Non of the nine sourcepictures has this vignetts… See attach endresult and one of the sourcefiles… DSC00983.ARW

Seems like a very small problem...

Have made more testing now with above problems… It seems that Photo 2.10 beta 17.89 have problem handling the RAW-files from my Sony RX-100 VI camera… If I make an Batch Job converting a bunch of this Raw-files (.ARW extension) Photo 2.10 output almost complete dark pictures to JPG-format (100% 15MB)… The same Batch Job in retail Photo 2.04 output perfect JPG-files… So, it must be something with Photo 2.10 beta 17.89 that is wrong handling RAW-files from Sony cameras that also crashes in HDR Merge jobs…

Great to hear! Niagara River green? Did you choose among all 15 different coloring presets?

Why start another thread about this? There are already several threads that take this issue to discussion… Try to read this:
