Chris, kirbo,
I am not so sure, that what you say is correct
if other software, and I have found silkypix, load the raw files up as the same way affinity develop does my Nikon files, with a good initial rendition of the image then with the right camera support affinity develop should do so too. At the moment affinity develop is loading such a maladjusted image that it clearly is not making the most of the available data in the file, and develop's range of manual adjustment is insufficient to make a useful start point for affinity proper. It also shows that the raw file has all the data that is needed to make a good initial image.

Chris,
I have been playing with a couple of other programs, and I may have a very inconvenient and temporary solution. How often does Serif look at updating its support listing? any idea when or what might get done?

My thanks Gnobelix,
unfortunately I have already activated the development assistant, and tried all the various switch combinations with no improvement. I always shoot in RAW, but I may have to revert to JPG for a while, defeats the objective of buying this Camera. I know that Affinity cannot react to new cameras overnight, I can only hope that they do so soon, meanwhile I am forced to look for an alternative RAW processor. Any suggested options?

I have just purchased a new Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ95, when I take the Raw files into the develop module they are desaturated and faded, on wide angle shots they have a strong vignette .
This camera has only just been released, so it may not be supported yet, or is it? I attach a raw file, it is not fully wide angle so does not have the vignette effect.
thanks

Thanks Chris, will do

I have just used my other camera, again a Nikon, file format: .NRW still on windows 7. The exact same problem, will the new fix encompass this as well as NEF?
-
Thanks Chris, I appreciate your efforts and look forward to the fix.

seems the developer team are keeping mum on this one, have they picked up the issue?
-
I have not seen the serif team acknowledging this as an issue yet, has anyone else?
-
I used my DSLR Nikon D7200 for the fist time since installing .258, when I try to open the file Affinity goes so far then just shuts down, I tried files from last year which previous builds had opened, same effect. I have 112 Gig of free disc space, I use windows 7 and have 8 gig of ram.
one time I had the error message below. can you help please.

Ron,
Perhaps you ought to review this thread, my comment was in reaction to someone else talking about how I should of known about what beta is and what is meant by 'production'. People brought up in the software industry or are young enough to have been taught software jargon at school would immediately have understood. The Seriff assumption is that everyone has these advantages. To non software tech people, or people from different environments or educations the jargon is not obvious. Perhaps a more generic phrase my have helped? 'for community testing and comment, may have bugs, do not use for important work'
Either way I understand now. I don't think the situation was handled incorrectly, I have had to learn, presumably there are a lot of others like me out there. There was miss communication based upon the use of jargon which I did not interpret the way it was intended, I had no reason to question what was going off, I skimmed over the disclaimer and it rang no alarm bells to me. I wiped out 1.6 because I thought I had to so I had no workable Affinity Photo. My system did not crash, look at my first posts, 'Develop is not working properly'. the flag of a problem, I got a work around which I found irritating as 1.6 did not have the problem. Then everyone seemed to start scoring points. I went back to 1.6. Another beta release came out with a long list of fixes, but not addressing what to me was a fundamental issue, frustration. I have now found that yet another beta has been released today fixing my bugbear, excellent! I shall revert to 1.7 but with eyes wide open.

Mark,
Your comments about disclaimers is just hiding behind jargon, how many of us amateur photographers think of what we do as 'production'? I certainly had no inkling what what was meant, nor what what was implied by the the term beta. but put all that aside, this colour profile issue affects 100% of all the users using affinity to work up raw images. the other items fixed may affect a small percentage of users, so why was this develop person issue not prioritised?

Andy,
I went on line, and just downloaded 1.6 without removing the beta, I now have both!
As to your other comment about knocking on in years, so am I, my computer skills are, well, questioned by my kids. Next time I play with beta versions I shall at least understand what I am getting into. I do wish a rough timescale was available

I have been a member for just over twelve months after ditching P/S, now I am wondering if I did the right thing, firstly the Histogram in RAW development did not work now in RAW development when I progress to Photo Persona I get a faded image, I am not impressed how can a programme or a Beta edition be released with such basic problems I am afraid if Affinity was my company some heads would role and staff would be working back late until problems were fixed. Andy.
I am a bit more philosophical, we all know that sh1t happens, no one would willingly degrade something in front of customers, nor would a good management punish as you suggest, you want a team that will explore boundaries and take balanced risks. In my experience at the sharp end, it is how you react in communication to those affected and then in both speed and thoroughness of the fix. Affinity have acknowledged the issue, have said there will be a fix in the next beta. My mistake was in not realising the full implications or what a beta is and my frustration is around not knowing the time to fix.
To the chap who quoted wiki, you need to know you have a gap in knowledge to want to look something up, and wiki is not what I would call 100% authoritative of references.

Ron,
I am not up on all this beta stuff, in my industry we used to prototype test, re- prototype & test as many times as we had need to, then launch onto customers, I guess that this is not safety critical stuff like I dealt with. Different industries, different approaches to product development, and I have been retired a long time now. I thought that a beta was an early release to existing customers to get used to, 'not be be used in production' as my license was for 1.6., not 1.7. Being retired, that is not an issue for me, I use the program for my photographic club comp entries and other hobby stuff not for any productive or monetary gain.
I thought I had to wipe off the 1.6 from my computer when I put the 1.7 on to it, which I did, so I have no access to that, and, as this was an update to the earlier 1.7, then that version which worked better is lost to me as well. Can I re-install 1.6? do I have to wipe off 1.7?
-
I am not seeing too much benefit from this new beta, and one very big problem. I am not saying that the improvements are not real, but the dis-benefit from this bug cancels it all out
-
Whilst all this is very interesting, it means that whenever we want to use Affinity Photo, we have to work around this bug, so when is it going to be fixed? it was not there before on Photo 1.6 so the fix should be pretty straightforward, time scales please?

Is this a function or 32bit versus 16bit processing?

Thank MEB, I will try this out this evening
Dave
The bottom of the list that I have is: sRCB IEC61966 -2.1 is that what you want me to use. I tried the 32bit and that option was not there?
Can I make affinity remember these settings or do I have to do it on each and every picture?
-
I have tried to use the Nik plugins on the new Beta, but they are all greyed out, they worked fine on the previous beta, before I updated. What do I have to do?

The solution I provided works for other people, so I guess you have a different problem or you are not doing something that they are.
Can you spell out precisely the steps to find this 'non linear sRGB', because it does not seem to be an option in the menu that I think your are pointing me to?
which Persona, which menu, which sub heading please, or post a screen shot?

You don't need to roll back the beta.
Problem: the gamma-encoded 16 bpc image output from Develop should have been assigned a non-linear profile but it has a linear profile (sRGB Linear in your case).
Solution: use Document > Assign ICC Profile to assign the non-linear version of the profile (sRGB in your case).
Alternatively, set Develop Assistant to output a 32 bpc image, develop the raw file and then convert the document to 16 bpc or export a 16 bpc image from it.
There is NO 'sRGB' option that I can see ony linear versions of one form or another.
is this another bug?
I have tried the other work around. I set the Develop assistant to output 32 bits image, not much luck so I activated 'apply tone curve' in addition. I am still not convinced, but it is better.
Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ95, supported?

Panasonic Down load site?? I have not found one, only independent (expensive) software dealer sites
