Do you think this order is correct when not just editing one photo but all your photo's
It's a popular one but I don't know if there is a "correct" one. I've heard people say you should start by cropping because it affects the histogram, but I prefer to leave it until I've got a better idea of what sort of rubbish I'm dealing with! On the rare occassions that I've got a genuine keeper I adopt a zone approach.

I'll be taking a look at udemy's courses as well
Look for Simon Foster's videos - they're a very good introduction. He has a few videos on YouTube under the name "Drippy Cat" that'll get you started.

It would also help to know what was happening when the system crashed, whether the BSOD advice was followed, and what happened if it was.

In case you're interested, camera raw codecs are going to be added to Windows 10 as an extension—where they can be updated independently from the OS.
The beta has been added to the Microsoft Store for Windows insiders running insider build 18310 or later. However, I'm not in the insider program therefore I don't know whether or not it's fully functional yet.
Details can be found here:
https://www.microsoft.com/p/raw-image-extension/9nctdw2w1bh8Thanks for that! I'll watch out for developments.

Any suggestions as to what tutorial video i should view on this subject?
Have a look at this one. This one's good, too.

My laptop doesn't have a cardreader, and I never bought one for the usb...
They're very cheap and definitely worth having, especialy if you can use USB 3.

The current public release (1.6) does not support your camera.
According to this list it is supported - I can process D5300 files OK on my Win10 system. Perhaps the OP could attach one of the problem .NEF files?
-
Thanks for that - I hadn't thought of perspective correction! In fact I'm starting to realise that whatever I do is going to be very superficial if I'm going to cover the bases.

As a group, our average age is comfortably into the 70s - I don't think anyone's that concerned about their Tinder profile!

This is the same picture saved as both RAW and JPEG in camera, and then cropped and processed in AP. RAW first.
W and JPEG in camera,

If you could get them to email you the pictures in advance, you can play with them beforehand, which may lead to a more polished performance of what Affinity can do.
Excellent idea - thanks!

I'd imagine thats a bit more personal preference based.
Absolutely - that's why I'm asking for other opinions.

Yes, that's high on the list!

In a couple of months time I'll be running a photo editing session for my local U3A's photography section. The idea is to give people some idea of what can be done with editors in general rather than highlighting AP, but I still want to play to AP's strengths. The plan is that people will bring along 1 or 2 of their less successful images which we'll then critique and try to improve. Some people are quite proficient with PS, but most have done very little editing - which tools, features or whatever do you think would #1 encourage people to do more post processing and, #2, choose AP to do it?

Hi - I came across Affinity Photo while traveling and purchased it from an iPad through the apple store.
My intention.was to set it up for use on my PC when I got home. It works on my small iPad but but I cannot set it up on my PC which has a far more suitable monitor. I have set up an account as Michael C. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
Regards
Windows, OSX and iOS all require separate licenses - you've bought an iOS license, so it can't be used on anything other than an iPad. I don't know what Apple's returns policy is, but the OSX license is more expensive (it's still very reasonable though!). On the plus side, if you end up with a license for each platform you can start editing on one and continue on the other - the .afphoto files work on all three OS.
-
You won't need to buy another licence! You can buy the software in the Apple, MS or Affinity stores - to reload it you just have to login to the appropriate account and download it again. It doesn't have to be on the same PC either, but it must be the same OS.

glad to hear.
Thank you! It's one anomaly too many though - time to uninstall / reinstall!

It depends on the intensity of the red.
True, but That's not the problem in this case - it's now working perfectly! Why it would consistently fail on a specific image and then suddenly get it right I have no idea!

I found the red eye removal tool and added it to my toolbar, but upon using it, it also does not seem to remove any red eye
I tried removing red eye from an old image just a couple of days ago, and had the same problem. It works on some images but not on others - rasterising and selecting obviously red areas don't work. I can't post examples (other people's children) but if I find something suitable I'll post it.

Nicely done sigific those tree strands were a nightmare, that's why I changed tack.
It's a bit less nightmarish if you make the selection on the blue channel only - there's more contrast between the twigs and the background.

It would help to know what sort of edits you're making, too.

I've just tried it on a machine running 1809 (17763.195) that was clean installed from USB stick three weeks ago. Nikon D800 thumbnails and metadata display fine;
Interesting - I wonder if it depends on which version you're using? I'm running win 10 Pro.
<edit>
Sorry - just noticed you are too!

does anybody know what I need to see my saved Photoshop psd-files in a similar way? Now it is just icons.
I haven't tried it myself, but have a look at Sage Thumbs.

The Nikon D800 was announced in 2012 and is therefore already included in the Windows codec packs and natively supported.
I don't believe the Windows codec pack was ever exhaustive - my Win 10 installation will not display D800 files natively. It's probably worth mentioning that my OS is a clean install - upgraded systems can easily pick up a suitable codec from an old software package.
-
The thumbnails are displayed by the OS' native file manager, not by AP. I'm not a Mac user, but I installed the Fast Picture Viewer codec pack on Windows and it allows pretty much any RAW format to be displayed. The codecs aren't free, but they're very reasonably priced.
Affinity on Steam?

I'm not a Steam user - what advantage would it give you?
