  1. Dear All, since one of the last updates Luminar is usable as Plugin under Windows. The processed image is passed back into Affinity Photo as sRGB only. This is is not changing the fact that the application is still a lingual & esthetic worst case scenario.
  2. @Lee D Hi, nope, i will never buy something from Apple Lee, i'm not religious. I would need GH5 Support in Affinity for Windows.
  3. Hi, on Appel, is the gui also "handmade" implemented, means with such frayed and not scaling with system DPI ? I still wonder how something like this can be released in a non-beta where on the other hand i have lot of fun playing with the LUT remapping.
  4. At the moment it is not really working as plugin: 1. If you use as plugin you can pass a picture into but you can not pass back into Affinity after processing in LUMINAR, you get an empty workspace (windows) (grab the plugin Luminar2018.8bf manually from C:\Program Files\Skylum\Luminar 2018\PluginData ) I have many other issues using it standalone: 2. You can't change localisation, the language is selected based on regional settings and is enforced, the localisation is really bad, so bad that i stopped exploring the app (mix of DE/NL/EN-US). I don't expect a clean translation but at least a possibility to have it in english. The Beta was just english what was OK. 3. You have functions like "Hide in Dock", we don't have a dock, the Software disapper somewhere in Paralleluniverse and can be called back with Alt-Tab 4. There is no Fonts Antialising, the gui is looking like scratched in wood, very primitive. 5. Still sRGB only, like in the Beta 6. Performance is not on top but i'm maybe to sensible on this. I would expect more speed on my system specs (OCd i9 7900x) but i keep this unjudget for now because of 2.. 7. The beta had a nicer filter slector, each filter had a description, now it is a simple (ugly looking) list, they are now translated and i was from beta experience familiar with the english names. There may be more issues but i try first to get support for at minimum 2. Deleting localisation files is not helping, it is being restored by msi installer on application start. The ideas in Luminar are good and the reason i bough the app but i prefer to wait till the banana is more ripe. For me personaly it is still a learning process to bring my expactations in relation with what i paid, we should not forget that we get with Affinity and Luminar an imense amount of software for our Euros, but some quality aspects as minimum and knowledge of new platform (for Macphun Windows seems to be new) i think are expectable. Example of the bad gui on 1st screenshot, elements not anti aliased and extremly small (also in relation of other OS dpi settings), text can be cutted depending on lenght. 2nd screenshot shows one of the bad translation examples, even i'm for united europe i prefer have clean dutch and german and not a mix of both :-) (there are much more) 1st word is NL the 2nd is DE, system regional setup is DE 3rd screenshot shows your workspace after this bi-lingual export message (picture is gone). 4th screenshot is your ticket into the mirrored universe (Im Dock ablegen) and some Denglish language experience 5/6th another heavy language mixture in the filter list
  5. Dear Serif, now v 1.6 is released but still no GH5 RAW included. There were some comments that you also want to develop a lightroom alternative, which sense doest it make when users need to wait months/years for their camera RAW support? As already observed, there will be maybe other priorities, like Affinity Photo for smart watches, dogs or cats which get more important then profane things like working RAW. I had to buy Lightroom months ago because the RAW support within your suite is really not good. Now next versions of Lightroom will be only as abonnement. So i'm landing in the next dead end? Please tell, when can i expect full RAW support for Panasonic GH5 ?
  6. Dear Serif Team, i really like your software, even RAW for GH5 is not yet available, it is really an effective and good piece of software with a very high potential for more in the Future. I'm still thinking, cool software from a cool company. But, since the last days my opinion about the coolness of the company is really changing. Why is Serif every 3rd day sending promotion mails about the new iPad application? To be honest, not everybody from your user base is GAFA (Google, Apple, Facebook & Amazon) addicted, not everybody wants to post something in Facebook or even has a Facebook account, some of us don't want to have an iPad even for free. Why it is required to spam customers every few days with this (childish) campaign? Is one/two mails not enough? Should i remove myself from the newsletter (what i don't want). I just want to use your cool software and from time to time receive updates what is new. Please stay serious, stop spamming... Thanks
  7. Don't understand this discussion. Apple users need it simplest for several reasons (maybe also devote customer-vendor relations) so the bounding to their store. No clue why windows users should have a connection to the Windows store. This would mean that there is a data exchange with Microsoft and the application would run in the Modern App cage. 3rd party workflow integration, colour management, plugins - all would go if the software is packed into this jail. In any way, Serif - please don't release Photo/Designer as modern app...
