[Affinity Photo RAW develop errors w/ Lumix G9 .rw2 "high resolution" mode files]

When I try to develop raw photos taken with my Lumix G9 in "high resolution" mode (10398 × 7794), I often see large areas of magenta "noise" and other graphic artifacts, both during processing and as a permanent part of the resulting file.

Is there a supported workflow for developing this kind of file?

[Work with Dropbox to enable preview and commenting of native Affinity files]

Today I discovered that Dropbox Professional will generate previews of Photoshop (psd), MS Office (doc, ppt, xls), iWork (or whatever the suite is called now), DWG, and lots of other file types, within a web browser. This enables creative professionals to send files to clients (via Dropbox) and the clients can view and comment on those files right in their web browser. It would be awesome if Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher files were supported this way as well.

  *sigh* You just took me down memory lane. Aldus Pagemaker, Quark Xpress, CorelDRAW. Good old days.

Yep, the good old days of bitmap fonts and $6,000 monochrome laser printers!  :)

Hello all.

 

I've been using Adobe products since the mid 90's and Pagemaker since the Aldus days. Yesterday I cancelled my Creative Cloud subscription and bought Affinity Photo and Designer. Looking forward to Publisher!

 

I'm glad to see the forum is active and I look forward to learning / contributing as I can.
