Callum, Thanks! I will try that out today. Cheers!

When opening raw files the default setting is with Lens Correction, Chromatic Aberration Reduction and Remove Lens Vignette are toggled on. I get sharper images when these three filters are turned off. Is there way other than creating a preset and having to change every time I open a file?

Awesome. Thank you! Keep up the great work!!!

Yes, I still have a working copy of PhotoImpact. Corel discontinued it but it is available from a new developer called Nova Development. I stopped using it when I made the switch to Affinity. The problem is UFO files, like aphoto and psd, contain layers and I don't want to loose those or their attributes. I used PI for over 15 years, so that's probably three years of not stop opening and saving ... LOL With AP offering support for other formats I wouldn't think this would be too hard from Serif to bust out in an update.

*Bump*

Is this issue fixed yet? I would really like to upgrade to the latest version soon.

Here is a shot of the image after try to develop it:

Great thinking adding this feature. In the next update could you be as so kind to enhance this feature by adding the "Description/Caption" and "Keyword" fields. It would be an attractive feature for photojournalists (like me) who use it. While on the IPTC topic, if you could also add a copy and paste function for IPTC data, that would equally awesome. Thanks! P.S. - I think I'll really like new update if I can RAW images to open in it. It seems the RAW processor is even faster than below.

I just updated to 1.8 and now I can not open Canon RAW files on both my laptop or desktop. Every file I've tried since the update appears like example below. Anybody else have this issue. If so, how did you resolve it. Thanks!

Ran the batch process again using a different Macro. It worked fine. Somewhere in one of the macro steps there is a conflict with the batch routine I created that made me post orginally. Looks like I'll have to find a workaround and may be isolate the offending step later.

The real problem @walt.farrell is having to sharpen the image again after being processed by RAW engine/persona.

That is true if the image you are processing is 100% or near that of the native resolution of the monitor you are working on. If the pixel dimensions are twice the screen resolution then visually making adjustments at 50%. Hope that makes sense.

I experience the same thing.
