[Path effect editor]

I Agree!  :)

[Affinity Photo Customer Beta - 1.6.0.75]

Can confirm that: Sony raw loads definitely faster compared to the previous releases, Fuji raw hasn't changed.

 

Hofnaar: as for the available stops when you edit your Fuji raw files, have you tried switching off the Tone Curve? It works for me.

Thanks, the tone curve is already off in my develop persona :)

[Affinity Photo Customer Beta - 1.6.0.75]

Great to see new betas coming up so quickly. I have the same update lag with the histogram here in the develop persona.

And still horrible loading times (about 15sek.) for a Fuji RAF Image. And of course, still the same problem since the first photo version with too dark RAW files from Fujifilm. Is it too hard to fix that for you guys?  :) 

It is unusable for, if there is only a headroom of 2 stops for the RAW editing and you have to use it to tweak the image to its starting point  :unsure:

[AP 1.6.0.72 - still to dark RAW images from Fujifilm]

thanks. :)

[AP 1.6.0.72 - still to dark RAW images from Fujifilm]

It is still the same issue with some Fujifilm Images. This time from my X20.

The images are about 1,5 Stops to dark. See the examples for imported RAW versus the original out of cam jpg.

[[AP] will it possible to change the Camera Profiles in future?]

any news here? :)

[HSL in Develop Mode]

but this would definitely be a very good addition to AP, agreed 

 :) Like I said :D

[HSL in Develop Mode]

for sure. :)

and yes, I know the RAW format, but Im not a programmer. I can see, that I can use it in near every RAW Editor I know so far. So the question for me is - why is it not possible for affinity photo? :)

[HSL in Develop Mode]

in example Adobe Camera RAW/Lightroom, Capture One and many more can handle this. Its a standard feature. Maybe fake, but obviously possible 

[HSL in Develop Mode]

No, thats not what I wand.
If its impossible, how can other RAW editors already do this well? :P

[HSL in Develop Mode]

I searched the forum and there was no thread about it. I think it would be very helpful to have HSL in the develop mode, just before affinity photo compressed the RAW file to jpg only. I think this should be a standard feature. :)

[Beta ..]

I think designer is a much better app so far. It works as it should be. I use it also every day. Maybe another coding team? :)

[Beta ..]

Im also waiting since weeks for a new Beta. I cannot understand how a beta with so much problems is called a final version. The current version(formerly known as beta) is not stabil in many points, and has so many problems.
Yes, Its frustating at the moment to work with it. I thought with the experience of the products in the past from serif, it would be easy for you guys to solve those problems...

But on the other side I understand that a program like this needs constant work and coding time. I look forward to a new version. hopefully asap. :)

[[Affinity Photo] How open above 200 RAW and produce it one by one]

sad but true, its not possible at the moment. You have to work with something like lightroom for now :/
I hope they will make the it happen to develop a series of RAW pictures in the near future.

There are already some threads about this problem here in the forum.

[on-the-fly font updates when new fonts are added]

refreshing the fonts on the fly is already working here on my AP v1.5

[Wedding Workflow With Affinity Photo]

Sad to say, but more than 5 RAWs at the same time is unpossible to work in affinity photo right now.

I hope the guys will bring a working preset functionality and batch processing for series of pictures as soon as possible. :) 

[[AP] some thoughts about the crop tool]

6. in some cases straigthen don't work correct

you can see it here at 1:20min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84DqjZbjHjw

[Make Catalogue like Lightroom]

I know what you mean. And you are right with it. 

But, the advantage of how lightroom or ACR is working with series of big RAW files is to put them into a xml like database or let us call it catalogue.

Not for sorting files, but for a fast as possible editing of a series of photos. You don't need to load and edit each photo separately (Of course you can...) if you want to edit a series of photos.

In AP photo persona the macro function is currently not useful for that kind of work. Neither the stack and batch job function.

And the preset function in the raw/develop persona is not working as it should be right now.

Maybe booth in near future... thats the reason for such a thread (in my opinion)  :)

[[AP] some thoughts about the crop tool]

Some changes and new features will help

 

1. It would be useful to drag rectangles from scratch somewhere in the picture with the crop tool

2. If I make a selection with the selection tool, it would ne nice to find a point in the menu like
"crop to active selection"

3. I cannot use the arrow keys to change the position of the current crop before cropping

4. If i rotate the crop and get some transparent/ empty pixels in the corners, it would be nice when AP will have an option to automatically crop to a smaller crop ratio

5. If I hit ESCAPE key it should left the crop tool like I hit "cancel" with the mouse

[Make Catalogue like Lightroom]

@czech.kuba the point is, that we need to edit series of pictures from time to time with a specific look for the whole series. In example for weddings, events, birthdays.....

[For a better noise reduction]

Nik is great - especially for the price

 

NIK is free since more than a year :)

[Is it possible to add global presets for all adjustments in RAW Persona?]

The individual function to save a preset is still not working in Beta 54

 

I tried to save presets for overlays for a series of pictures, to achieve a specific look for all pics. It does nothing.

I have some empty presets now LOL  :D

 

Will this be fixed in the next versions?
It is a feature that I really need every day as a photographer.  :)

[Make Catalogue like Lightroom]

Yes. We strongly need this feature asap.  :)

[For a better noise reduction]

I agree.

But let me say, its all about the algorhithm. Adobe has 20 years experience against the affinity guys. I think it will be better asap. :)

[[AP] Rename & Display Overlays in Develop Persona]

If you have more than 2 overlays, it is sometimes hard to know which was which  :P 
So it would be nice and helpful to rename overlays. 

 

It would be also nice to see the overlay by holding alt, ctrl or shift (alt is like lightroom)
