Agreed - in spades! I designed a poster for one of my choirs a few years back. Everyone thought it was great, but I was told by various printers that they either couldn't handle the gradients or the predominance of one colour (blue) made it uneconomical for them. No harm done, and I ended up finding a printer we're all very happy with, but if I was designing posters for a living....

That would be very easy to forge! The only people who could confirm that a payment's been made are Apple, and they won't do it.

ORC Histogram Issue
IanSG replied to gerryphim's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
This is an old issue that's been fixed in the current 1.7 beta. If you want to try it for yourself, have a look at this. -
I've just tried a downloaded image from here - it's noticeably slower than other RAW files.

Canon CR2 Rawfile
IanSG replied to atlen's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The histogram on the left looks like a long standing problem with the Develop persona - it's been fixed in the 1.7 beta. Is the Develop Assistant applying a tone curve? -
That list doesn't include the A7 III - "not supported" isn't the same as "doesn't work"!
-
The .ARW files seem to open OK in AP, but I don't know about the lens. There's a 10 day trial, so you could try it for yourself.
-
I'm ashamed to admit that it wasn't too basic - that's exactly what I'd done wrong (this time)!! Many thanks!!
-
All true - especially since we're looking at a new point release. But the same argument could have been made 6 months ago, and maybe 6 months hence. There's nothing in the beta release notes to suggest that the problem's been fixed.
-
It's the release version - it works with the beta. This has happened to me maybe half a dozen times over the last couple of years (but count how many times it's cropped up in this forum). Each time it's happened I've gone to the beta to make sure I'm not doing something wrong, and then cleared the problem by resetting AP. It's possible that it's been fixed in the latest release, but I've got a solid example of an intermittent problem that's survived for a couple of years.
-
Not for the first time, the selection brush in AP has stopped working for me. Previously I've reset AP and everything starts working again, but I was wondering if there's any information I can get hold of to help the devs fix this oft reported problem?
-
I get much the same time with the latest Beta.
-
Have you tried resetting AP by starting it with the <ctrl> key depressed?
-
Brain fade!!
-
Beyond the fact that you did something on a Mac and AP crashed, I've literally no idea what that video's supposed to demonstrate!
-
I've just tried a few RAW files from the RX10 IV and the A7R II - using v1.6.5, the former loaded in 4 seconds, the latter in 9 seconds. Even loading multiple files, the increase in time was linear. I'm using a desktop PC rather than a laptop, but the only significant difference that I can see is that I've got 24GByte RAM.

HELP
IanSG replied to Lez's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
This thread should be a lesion for all of us! -
If only I'd known - I've just bought my wife a new iPad!

Have you tried using the Adobe DNG converter?

FastRawViewer
IanSG replied to AT.HA's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Pretty much the same for me, though I've set it up to display "enhanced" RAW files rather than using the histogram. As well as selecting the keepers, I've also used it to sift through 6 weeks of holiday shots, moving those that featured people to a specific folder - that's what my wife wanted, and if I can keep her happy for only $20.... -
Back in the day, my answer to "what computer should I buy" was "what will you use it for" - for the last umpteen years it's been "what can you afford?". Someone less charitable than me might blame programmers' increased dependence on Moor's Law to make up for their inefficient design/coding .

Zapfino Font on PC?
IanSG replied to JJMeadow's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It's worth noting that that copyright notice goes up to 2002 - couple it with this from Wikipedia (my emphasis) "In 2003, Hermann Zapf completely reworked the Zapfino design, creating Zapfino Extra, a large expansion of the Zapfino family designed in close collaboration with Akira Kobayashi.". There are lots of sites providing free downloads of Zapfino, and many of them specify that it's the Linotype One or that it's the "official" free version - it looks like the owner gave permission. -
The Z6 RAW files are only 14 bit at best. You can still work in a 32 bit colour space though. The 14 bit files from my Pentax K5 come out of the Adobe converter with 14 bits. They're smaller, but still 14 bit!
-
Not that easy! The asymetric legs are a genetic response to running round the steep mountain slopes - you still have to find the little buggers in the heather! And then there's the issue of whether your hunting the dextro or levo versions....
-
Rather than list them all again, have you followed the suggestions already made in this thread i.e. correct layer, flow, opacity etc.? If so, has it ever worked or is this a new problem? It might help to know what OS and version number you're running.
