Other than exhibiting a preview for DNG raw files, when opening a file for processing, there is no preview picture displayed in AP dialog. I have tested PEF (Pentax), and RAF (Fuji) files. I also checked and found my cameras shown on the camera list posted on the Affinity site. My question is basically if this is a temporary situation, or a problem with my AP installation. Given that when trying to load a RAW image, I have time to pour a cup of coffee, before it renders, I am hoping that some attention to this situation is being addressed by the developers. This software seems to be on the cusp of being more than superior. Any one experiencing the above? (couldn't locate this subject on the forum)

There is certainly value in the printed word. I know that even the help file which can be seen whilst working on an image is not always available when I would like to spend some time becoming familiar with Photo, i.e., no computer present. I looked to see if I could download a pdf of the help file, but couldn't locate such a link. Might that exist?

New to the forum, so hopefully this comment will add to the conversation. I was surprised to see the comments regarding slow RAW loading and thus went back to AP to see how I compared to the results posted. I have a Pentax system and have shot recently in DNG format. Loading time was from library display was close to 23 seconds (i5 processor). I was flabergasted. I then tried loading the Pentax native raw format PEF and loading was about 14 seconds. Not good for professional processing, but ok for me as I do onesy/twosey stuff for pleasure. What I was not happy with was that my raw library displays DNG, and JPG mini previews, but my PEF's were only icons - not previews. My camera (K-3) is listed amongst the models that are supposed to work with the software. Is this a fluke? or a bug?
