I have asked a similar question before but here goes again. My standard workflow after a shoot is: 1. Step through the raw files (Canon CR2 in my case) using Microsoft Photos to remove the "stinkers" 2. Set up batch process in Affinity to convert the remaining raw files to .afphoto often running 1 or 2 macros 3. Load the .afphoto files into Affinity, 4. Step through them to perform the final edits 5. Run a batch process to conver the files to JPEGs It would be great if I could delete .afphoto files during step 4 without having to go into File Explorer - surely that cannot be difficult to achieve?

Yes, OK - but that's in Windows, NOT Affinity, I would like to be able to delete an image which I am looking at when stepping through loaded files. Currently my workflow procedure is. View the raw files in MS photos and delete the real "stinkers" Run a batch process on the raw files to convert them to .afphoto (usually applying a macro or two) Load all the .afphoto images into Affinity Photo Step through and edit them - hence it would be great if there was a "delete" option to further refine my selection

Hi, I love Affinity Photo but find it very cumbersome and slow to process a batch of images. Microsoft Photos allows you to "step through" the images in what is effectively a "view mode", you can then delete if required or swich to "edit mode". If we could do this in Affinity it would save loads of time and effort. At present I step through in Microsoft Photos, to cull the ones I don't want then re-open the image in Affinity, it is very time consuming having to re-open each image.

This is not what I meant, yes if I set to the camera to single point focussing Affinity will show that single point as you show above, but if I set the camera to group points, it will automatically pick one point in the group to use. Playback (and Canon DPP) then shows that actual point and not the others in the group as does Affinity.

Hi, After a shooting session I like to run a batch job, to convert CR2 files to Afphoto files and running a basic macro. I would like to make 2 points 1) The process takes AGES - can it not be speeded up? 2) It would be useful to add the option of loading the files after conversion, enabling an immediate editing session Hope this is helpful Regards Chris

Upgraded to 1.9 with 2 problems
Chris Potter replied to Chris Potter's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
Just discovered a very strange thing! When I do a batch job all my macros are available to apply - yet they don't appear in the macro panel in the studio!! -
Hi I have just upgraded to version 1.9 and have 2 problems: Affinity STILL thinks that I am using a Tamron 35-150 lens when I am using an 18-400 All my Macros and libraries have disappeared! Regards Chris

Good morning, Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I am a reasonably good amateur photographer with decent kit (Canon EOS 7D Mk11), but far short of being a professional. However I do a bit of photo journalism for a couple of classic yachting magazines. I have been using Affinity Photo for around a year now and am slowly getting the hang of it! My question is this: What do most of you do with a session's (say a day's) worth of shots, do you go through each one and edit it in Affinity individually (there may be 100), or have you got some sort of "standard" batch process (maybe using a macro) which you use as a "pre-processing" operation; if so can someone suggest a method? Regards Chris

Hi , Can anyone help me? I have been using Affinity Photo for around 8 months now and beginning to get the hang of it slowly; I approached it they way I approach any new piece of software - on a "need to know basis" i.e. as I need a facility I research it and find out how it works. However the following is confusing me: I use a Canon EOS 7D Mk 11 and shoot in RAW, Canon CR2 format. When I open a RAW file in Affinity it takes me to the Develop Persona Should I perform my editing in Develop Persona or switch to Photo Persona, what are the advantages/disadvantages of each? None of the tutorials seem to address my dilemma!! Chris
