AP ver 2.5.7 Issue: When trying to open any Sony RAW file (ARW), I get the following error: "A device which does not exist was specified". Sometimes I get this one: "The file could not be opened". I've not had to open these files in a while, but I've never had problems previously opening Sony RAW files in Affinity Photo. These files are from a Sony A7III, so not a brand new camera by any means, and I know for a fact these files were supported in AP 1. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks, Nathan. It does seem to have gone nowhere. Shame too, as that's the one thing keeping me from fully adopting AP in my workflow.

I'm guessing the answer to my question is, no, AP is not capable of using cryptomatte layers in multilayer EXR files.

This is what I use in Photoshop currently. I have spoken to the developers of EXR-IO and they tell me that it will not work currently with Affinity Photo, but they are interested in making a plug-in explicitly for AP. I made a post about this a while back. They asked if Affinity Photo has an SDK that they could use. My post on the subject received no traction.

I could, but if someone knows the answer already, that takes less time and storage on my system. I know Photoshop can already do this via a powerful and free plugin. This is what I'm currently doing, but I was hoping that AP could do this by now.

Hey All, I've been away from AP for a bit due to work assignments requiring the "other" guys software, but I'm slowly trying to reintegrate AP back into my pipeline. I know AP has always had the ability to work with 32 bit linear multilayer EXR files, but can it recognize Cryptomatte layers yet? I'm currently not using Ver. 2 on my PC so I can't test this, which is why I'm asking. Thanks for any feedback you can provide!

Same question. Are you processing jpeg and tiff files in the develop persona? I get that the crash shouldn't happen for something so trivial, but why not just work the tiff and jpeg files in the standard photo persona? Keep the develop persona for developing RAW files. Unlike Adobe Camera Raw, there is little to no need to take already converted RAW files (jpeg, tiff, png, etc) into the Develop Persona.

Is it crashing while trying to process jpeg files in the develop persona? I'll try this, but why are you processing jpeg files in the develop persona?

Well, I figured if I really wanted to test it out thoroughly, what better way than to purchase a $4,500.00 laptop and really run it through it's paces? Now that I've confirmed that it doesn't crash, I can go back to using my regular laptop.

I did search for that and did not find it. But thank you for confirming that this old bug is still being ignored.

Shouldn't be long now, it's been a problem since V1 but I'm sure it's nearly fixed at this point.

I know this was an issue in V1, and I was hoping it would be fixed by now, but it seems to be broken still. Macros will not run when selecting them with my WACOM Intuous Pro. Mouse clicks are fine, they just don't respond to the tablet. Anyone else experience this?

AP 2.0.3 on M1-Max running Monterey - no such crash. I keep trying to crash the app, but I can't. Using a SONY RAW file in develop mode, I've adjusted every single slider available, multiple times, and I just can't get the app to crash.

No crashes here at all. What are you system specs?

Works perfectly fine with no crashing on my M1-Max, running Monterey.
