I am seeking to replicate a procedure in APhoto that I have done for years in PS. Being 76 my tremors interfere with a nice signature, so I want to insert a digital file that is my signature. 1. Create a file that is blank but white background. Sign my signature in black hand written with my Wacom. Drop out the white and have just the signature. 2. Create a white "canvas" as I do in PS of say 11x14 that is white filled. 3. Import a photo that is 10 x 13 and center it initially but have the option to shift it's position within the 11x14 canvas. 4. Import the digital signature, place it where the text only comes over on top of the 10 x 13 photo, lower right corner. 5. Save the file flattened and read for print. I have spent part of my day trying to do it in APhoto but no luck. Hope someone had figured this out. Thanks, Jack

I currently have 1.9.3 release and checking it shows I have the latest release. Thanks for the update as I have not opened the program since I started this post. A link to securing the "beta" would be appreciated however as much as I dislike the "Library" logic in C1, it's RAW developer is excellent!

I am getting GREAT results from Capture One's latest release that is now free with the GFX100S! I hate the lack of intelligence in C1's "Library" so I use their software strictly as a RIP, and it is the best RIP I have found for Fuji GFX files. Just wish the balance of their product Library was far less over complicated for landscape photography.

Would be respectful to keep posts on this thread in the same language it was started in.

Looks like the "take away" is that AP will open in HDR mode but washed out - implies they need to link up with Fuji and improve their RAW routine OR I just open with C1 and then export to Affinity - prefer their tools actually at Affinity.

Changed a few of the variables in APhoto - got a file as below - opened it up as an HDR this time. AP image is washed out looking and not at all what the true RAW file is but at least it opened up this time. Here is AP screen shot first, then second is Capture One RAW open - on target with the LCD on the camera back.

Just shot this file in my living room - 16 bit uncompressed. Only program that opens it correctly is Capture One's lates release. Even PS- CC opens it as an 8 bit file only. DXO fails, etc. DSCF0143_16_bit_uncompressed,_GFX100S.RAF

LOL!! I must be really sloooowww thinking today! Thanks

I would be amazed if they posted a real RAW of 16 bits with no compression on their site. I took German back in High School but have forgotten it. :-) Have been to German as a adult many times but can't translate your settings from your post. Again, here is mine. I see no USA choice under Map Settings, interesting - did we fall off the edge of our "flat world" map?

These are my settings - but I always shoot uncompressed in the camera.

I had the GFX 100 and traded in for the 100S. The 100S will produce a 16 bit raw file and I believe APhoto is screwing up on the fact they are full 16 bits - that is how the image looks to me.

Thanks for the links! I found Dev. Asst. and it is already set to RAW Engine: "Serif", so that is not the problem.

Weeks ago I stated a post asking is there was a way to import Fuji GFX 100S, 16 bit RAW files. No real solutions - but got this from Affinity - " March 31, 2021 Hi John, Can you please update to the new 1.9.2 version of Affinity Photo and if you are using Windows then your camera RAW files will be supported, if you are using a Mac you will need to open the Develop Assistant and change the RAW engine from Apple Core to Serif Labs to support the RAW files. Many thanks, Darren @ Affinity Support ---------------- I wrote back days ago asking: How and where is "Develop Assistant" found on a Mac as it relates to Affinity. Never heard back from Affinity - does anyone know how to solve this - I am running 1.9.2 on Mac Pro with Big Sur OS. Jack

I shoot 100% RAW only, no jpegs, so the issue that I know about is only RAW. A standard RAW from the 100S is generally 16 bits, that may be what AP is not reading as that is the impression from looking at what it gives me. A single 16 bit file in RAF is 209.9MB. Does AF have a drop box? I'll upload one. I am also getting some outstanding results from Pixel Shift but those files are huge, but outstanding IF no wind. About 1.47 to 2.44GB! I had the GFX50S previously and never had any problems but they are only 14 bits and no Pixel Shift. PShop Cloud opens them quickly and perfectly as RAW and also from Pixel Shift, ditto for Capture One and Aurora HDR, Luminar. DXO and RAW Digger chokes on all of them from the GFX100, but I expected that.. Jack Here is a screen grab of what AP gave me of the 16 bit RAW. Will try upload here of full RAW also next - looks like the 209.9MB did upload here and can be downloaded. DSCF0097.RAF

Last weekend I purchase the new Fuji GFX100S - love the camera BUT finding Photo does not perform a proper RAW open on it. Anyone else having this issue?
