[Need a Tutorial on fine art printing through Affinity Photo printing persona.]

Equipment:  MacBook Pro 8,3.  OS  10.11.6.

 

Printer, Epson Pro 9900

 

I would appreciate someone that has been printing with Affinity Photo, to help me print through AF, to my Epson Pro 9900.

 

Seems hit and miss for paper centering, and paper sizes, at the print persona.

 

Also, settings I have acquired, don’t stick in print persona.  I need to redo the settings each time.

 

I can print with PS CS5, and LR 6.6.1.

 

I also am fortunate to have Printao 8 print software.

 

I would find it convenient to be able to print from AF with it’s print persona

 

 

Kind Regards,

 

David

Thanks,

[Raw developing]

Hi Stefan,

Should you really actually receive a 'refund' let all of us know.

I tried the refund thing, and was told NO! ! ! ! .  Now I am delighted is was refused.   I have learned more about Affinity Photo, and learning AF is a pleasure.

 

You can get a refund clicking on the Report a Problem link on the invoice you will receive from Apple on your e-mail.

 

Kind Regards,

 

David

Thank you for the great work.

 

The 1.5 beta 1 is appreciated.  You are all appreciated.

 

Is there a beta 2?

I must add, using Photoshop's method is a ton easier!

[Raw Conversion Quality...]

You've got it, R C-R.   Do you know who it is that posts these tutorials?   What I learned from this tutorial was nothing I could have known on my own.

 

Made a BIG difference for me.

 

Kind Regards,

 

David

[Raw Conversion Quality...]

This is what I really needed for Affinity Photo RAW conversion.   Only been out a week.   

 

Great teaching.

 

I thank you ! ! 

 

Kind regards,

[What are you using for DAM with AP and AD?]

Rhod, stand alone is my thoughts as well..

 

Cheers

 

David

[What are you using for DAM with AP and AD?]

Low tech:  That's me as well, also, too.  I have a Lightroom folder (don't get ahead of me) and I use that folder for my DAM, or, if you will, simple collection of image files.  I don't see a need for DAM in Affinity Photo, at least not for me.

 

That I do have a Lightroom folder simply makes it easy for me to know where my image files are.  

 

Most importantly for me, the Lightroom folder is on an external 2GB FW 800 HD.   And is copied using SuperDuper, to another identical external HD, about once a month.  You might say this is just like using Lightroom.

 

It's easy for me to find image files to work with wether in Gimp, Affinity Photo, PS CS5, of Lightroom.

 

Enjoy your Affinity Photo.

 

Cheers

 

David

[Rawtherapee to Affinity photo]

Can also use RPP 64, Raw Photo Processor 64, as RAW processor and the program will send the processed image file on to Affinity Photo.

 

Cheers

[Affinity Photo on macbook late 2008 (5,1) Core 2 Duo, 8go ram, SSD]

Hello Alex.   I have an 2008 mac mini, 4,1 with 16 GB's RAM.   Affinity Photo will be fine.   I also have the MacBook pro 4,1, with a mere 6 GB's of RAM...   You will be fine.

 

Cheers

 

David

[CR2 Files Have Purple Haze]

I do hope your issue is solved.   Another option is using an outside RAW developer.   Consider Raw Photo Processor 64 (RPP 64), or your Canon RAW developer.    

 

Happy Affinity Photoing

 

Cheers

Since there will always (hopefully!) be newbies---and the occasional oldie who I won't name here that sometimes forgets between updates---there should be a prominent sticky in the update notice warning that the current beta will now be obsolete and will no longer work.

 

 

Lillie G:  Here is a screen shot of beta 5.   I still have beta 5 since this Mac has been offline.  Please point out, the best you can where the obsolete sticky is placed.

 

Cheers.

Dear MEB:   Thank you for your explanation!  I don't know everything about removal, and I did not come in on the very begging of Affinity Photo.

 

Serif:   Be courteous, and thoughtful

 

Let everyone know that an Affinity Photo version has been removed.

 

It’s the right thing to do.

 

You are not playing nice when an application quits and users of the application don’t know why.

 

Cheers

R C-R:   Not everyone is on the "inside" and "know this"

[Is it too late to get a refund?]

 

uncle808us:  I have similar opinion of Gimp.   Now that 32 bit Gimp is available, I an not sure what good Affinity Photo is.

 

I use Raw Photo Processor 64 (RPP64) for RAW conversion not only for Affinity Photo, but also Gimp.

 

I will continue with Affinity Photo since refunds are non existent.  I have no idea where Affinity Photo is headed.

 

Cheers,

Seems if my MacBook pro (I have a pair of them) is off line, the beta 5 still works.   Don't know if this makes any difference.

 

It would have been logical, practical, and polite, to let AP users know in advance, an application will cease working.

 

Would be POLITICALLY correct.    

 

Consider, if you will, serif and company, to give advance information of an application being pulled.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Cheers,

[Is it too late to get a refund?]

Well, Callum, I went through the mental and physical gyrations with iTunes, and they adamantly will not refund! !  Period!!

 

The have a NO Refund policy which was sent to me.  iTunes folks kept telling me to contact serif forum….huhhh?   Even said contact serif.   Just not possible to contact serif.   And forum says, as you say, contact iTunes.

 

Let’s face it, telling iTunes  and telling serif forum, goes nowhere.

 

I contacted the mac App Store support team as you suggest, and all I got was what I wrote above.

 

I don’t have the unexpected crashes, any more, as uncle808us has mentioned.   My issues are with color management, as you already know.

 

Again, I am completely color managed.  Professional display, digital capture, and Epson Pro 9900 printer.    

 

Prints coming from AP don’t look like what is on my display.

 

Kind Regards,

You delete the now obsolete beta 5 versions & use the 1.4.2 retail ones.

What date did beta 5 become obsolete?
