    Thank you for the quick reply MEB. I'll try that when I get home to the desktop mac. If i try to do this with my macbook air, the size if the files causes the system to crash, lag etc.

    Can be. That's just life on-board any ship that is outside normal land based mobile cell reception coverage. Marine internet is hugely expensive, so the speeds are a lot lot lower. That's one of the reasons we get a decent pay, hardship conditions, 12 hour shifts for 4 weeks continuous and more importantly - being away from family. Being at sea does present some unique photography oppurtunities though.

    Hi MEB, JPEG and DNG files added to the link you sent. 5 JPEG and 5 DNG. Still offshore, but close enough to land that I managed to get a 4G signal (circa 17 miles). That said I'm on the side of the ship that faces land - high up near the bridge. If you need me to send any more files, then it will have to be at the end of my trip around the end of August.

    As soon as I get time and a steady 4G signal, I'll upload them. Wi-fi on the ship at sea is snail slow, less than dial-up speeds.

    Can I PM them to you? I'd rather not post up the image publicly. Also, I've just joined the ship for offshore work. Comms are dire, so it'll be a few weeks before I can get back home to send the files.

    Hello, and sorry if this has been posted before. I got to capture a nice headland shot of a lighthouse. I set up the camera to capture 5 images in a burst - in JPEG and DNG format. When I use AF HDR merge function with the JPEG images - the image comes out correctly, with a relatively flat horizon However, when I use the DNG images - and the HDR process starts; a pronounced curvature is given to the image. Not what I am looking for. The original DNG flies are exactly the same as the JPEG, with the same horizon aspects. Any pointers please? This on Affinity Photo 1.8.3, using iMac OS Catalina 10.15.6 I've attached screenshots of the image to show what I am on about - you can plainly see in the HDR DNG images the upper corners of the image have dropped against the text.

    Thanks for the info. US$129 doesn't sound too bad on the wallet. Remember please that I'm in the UK - therefore we have a tendency to get ripped off. - Treasure Island I think was the phrase, that we were referred to by none other than the good ole USA and Japan. I've pre-ordered the new Nikon P1000 - £999, in the UK. In the US - $999. Work out the currency conversion rates - and its a fair difference. Todays rate - £999 = $1, 317. £299 for Final Cut Pro = $394. Again a big difference. $129 = £97 - Far easier pill to swallow Thanks again.

    I've just come back to this thread after nearly two years. Looks like I've got a good bit of downloading to do again. At least the new tutorials keep me in line with the new updates. Keep em coming James.

    Such a pity to hear this. I've had Affinity Photo for a couple of years now, and I'm really enjoying the fact that I have a quality image editing SW prog, and I haven't had to make a continuing rip off payment to Adobe either in a huge one off payment, or monthly extortion - sorry - subscription fees. I was really hoping that Serif Affinity would have looked into a Video Editing program. Apple Mac customers are pretty limited in what they can use. Freebie iMovie = clunky. Or another rip-off payment for Final Cut Pro at near £300. If Affinity are not going to release a Vid editor SW prog, then can anyone suggest a decent affordable program capable of 4K for less than a £100, on iMac? Thinking about it - I can maybe understand why Serif won't do this, more so that they have moved to Windows, which (correct me if I am wrong) will have a sizeable market of free and low cost vid-edit SW.

    Won't get mine until I return home. Stuck in the Moray Firth, sheltering from bad weather in the North Sea. I might - might get back in a week. I've been told there was a delivery attempt, from a ticket left through the door. Here's hoping its there.

    Got the notification from Serif on Thursday afternoon. No brainer for me. Purchased with the minute, and got the confirmation about being dispatched, and how I should recieve the book "shortly".
  12. Rigger73
    Patrick, Will Serif be setting up a pre-order system?
  13. Rigger73
    Appreciate the response, thank you. I was asking about the book, but glad you have answered about 1.6 release too. As long as we are not looking at a release after Christmas. I've been keen to get my hands on a properly issued workbook for some time now.
  14. Rigger73
    Can you tell us the new date for release? Nothing worse than telling your clients, that there has been a delay - with no projected likely date for resolving the issue.
  15. Rigger73
    With a Mac? No thanks. I'd rather keep my Mac clean without any 3rd party software. I've used YT downloaders in the past, on Windows, and the anti-virus software was working overtime. So thanks, but through experience - no thanks.
  16. Rigger73
    Thanks James, but i'll be sticking with the vimeo links. Working away on vessels means downloading while onboard is not an option. Far easier for me to download before I leave - and then I can watch how I want, when I want - with no wifi connection needed.
  17. Rigger73
    Sorry for not getting back sooner. Been in hospital over weekend with biliary colic. Not nice. James - thanks for the reply.
  18. Rigger73
    C'mon Devs - I appreciate you may be busy with the Windows release, but no answer or even a reply at all?
  19. Rigger73
    Anyone?

    Getting into the HDR side and tone mapping in 1.5 I notice that I can select a particular source when I make up a HDR image - and this is helpful in eliminating blurred lines from multiple images. When I try and do a Pano HDR - following your tutorial vid - I lose all the sources from the Studio Sources panel. Is this deliberate - or would there just be too much memory used for this? I realise that I could source each HDR image before stitching together - but would it not be better to do this on a stitched image? If processing each image before stitching is the way to go - then so be it, but an answer either way would be grateful.

    Time for a bump. I'm in the process of buying a less than 9 month old 5K 27" 3.2GHz quad iMac - for less than £1000 - I'd say that was a bargain. Anyways - its a late 2015 model - so I was comparing the old with the new, on Apple's website, when I spotted this; http://www.apple.com/uk/imac/performance/ below 2nd Paragraph which starts - "Think Fast. We Did." I guess Apple are giving their own approval to Affinity Photo. Well done again guys and gals.
  22. Rigger73
    I had this initially. Shutting down my Mac Air for a minute then restarting it, had the Affinity Photo 1.5.1 update waiting for me (and probably most others) in the Mac App Store updates section.
  23. Rigger73
    Christ on a bike James. That's a fair whack more tutorial vids there! Looks like you've almost doubled the list! I can only imagine the amount of work the team has had to do to roll this 1.5 out before Xmas!
  24. Rigger73
    Nice one James - and the rest of the team. ;) I'll be home Saturday - so I guess I'll be busy downloading and watching these then! :)
  25. Rigger73
    Will be home tomorrow, but will downloading 1.5 as soon as possible. Well done on the hard work guys. Now to give arrogant Adobe that bloody nose they deserve.
