[Sony 14mm F1.8 sel14f18gm lens profile missing]

The third party lens database we use for lens correction as yet to have that model lens added. We can't say when the lens will be added, it's a case of waiting for the database to be updated and released. We can then pull the new update and include it in our next available update.

Thank you, looking forward for the update.

[Raw Development improvements]

The Auto White Balance is in the Photo Persona! Along with Auto Levels, Auto Contrast and Auto Colors. To me they really belong in  the Develop Persona. They don't seem particularly useful, unlike the Capture One Auto Adjust that often gives a good starting point. 

The quality of the RAW conversion is an ongoing problem. Its well and truly on the back burner. 

I just accept I need to use a specialised RAW convertor. 

Yes, but the Auto White Balance in the Photo Persona doesn't work as well as the Capture One or Camera Raw, besides the fact that there are absolutely no color temperatures given, with no way of adjusting and it's a destructive operation. All in all i think the raw development still needs a ton of work before it can compare, until then i will process RAW files in the other tools.

Also highlights/shadows recovery is better handled in the other tools. I like Affinity suite and this suggestions come only from the desire of improving the software.

[Raw Development improvements]

In both Capture One and Camera Raw from Photoshop, the raw development is way better and i would like to do the complete development only in Affinity Photo, rather than using the raw development elsewhere.

1. The White Balance does not have an Auto option and it's difficult to set it manually with the picker. In both Capture One and Photoshop the Auto option is creating a correct white balance as well as removing color casts.
2. The details from the raw file are poorly extracted, both on shadows and highlights. From a poorly shot raw (i can provide the raw file), both Capture One and Photoshop could recover the highlights better with more details while keeping the original color and more shadow details without too much noise. In Affinity, the highlights were changing to white when lowered, and the shadows details contained more noise as well as a red (in this case) tint.
3. There is no Whites and Blacks adjustment.
4. Split Toning is nice, but also a color editor would be good.

I have included the screenshots with the same settings applied to the raw:

Exposure set to 1,47

Max Shadows

Min Highlights

[Benchmark results v20000]

iMac 2017, i5 3,5 GHz quad core, 40GB RAM@2400MHz DDR4 (upgraded), Radeon Pro 575 4GB RAM, 1TB SSD (upgraded)

M1 Ultra 20 cores CPU, 48 cores GPU, 64GB RAM

 

Tested with Affinity Photo Beta 2.1.0
I had upgraded from the iMac to the M1 Ultra and, as expected, it's a totally different world. The M1 Ultra is overkill for Affinity Photo, I think the M1 Max or the M2 Pro would work just as well.

[Loosing 2 hours of work]

Hi Andre,

To get more insight on this it would be better to attach a log (please see the picture attached that shows you where to find them) Settings->Privacy->Analytics Data and look for an ips file with the name  Photo iPad and date. Save that file and upload it here.

As an immediate solution i would suggest lowering the autosave interval in Affinity Photo settings in General tab to something like 60-90 seconds.

Hope that helps.

[Crash when importing over network]

Hi Chris,

The app is crashing when importing files over the network, please see the video attached. I guess it would help to to use smaller buffer chunks and have better error control when copying the file over.

Cheers!

[LUT Infer will crash Affinity Photo]

Maybe few use this, but it’s a great feature. Sure.

[Lose my Work In Progress on app switching]

+1 happens to me too, the app is closed after a long period of inactivity, but the picture was saved usually. It depends if the app was closed before or after the autosave interval. It helps to lower the autosave interval, but ideally the app should not close by itself, rather run in background.

[LUT Infer will crash Affinity Photo]

Hello,

Trying to load any image with Infer from LUT adjustment will crash the application. I’ve attached the crash log.

[Grid from live filter]

Interesting effect. I suspect you’re not meant to apply filters to filters 😀

To use the Live hp filter to sharpen just apply it and change the filters layer option to overlay or similar. It really effective too.

edit. Just saw your other post. Good pickup there. 👍

Thanks 🙏 , that’s true, i am either using a high pass with linear light or overlay, or unsharp mask. Saw this when i tried to move the high pass below the unsharp mask and nested it instead, so decided to open a bug for it since it shows the grid.

[Grid from live filter]

Hello,

Applying a High Pass live filter to an Unsharp Mask creates a grid that is visible when zoomed in. The grid is also exported to the final image.

Maybe is not the correct way of sharpening, but this is the result.

[Filter screen partial refresh]

This also happens to Unsharp Mask live filter, perhaps other live filters as well

Thanks you for improving the product!

[BUG: Affinity Photo High Pass Filter Add Grid to Images]

Does not apply, can be removed

[Filter screen partial refresh]

Hi Chris,

Please load the attached jpg and apply the halftone live filter to it. To reproduce the bug please zoom in, release, zoom out, release... repeatedly and after a few tries you should see the bug.

I tried to also upload a raw ARW file 85MB, but I get a -200 error. Nevertheless, the bug shows also with this jpg. Also i made 2 recordings to better illustrate the bug.

Let me know if i can help.

[Filter screen partial refresh]

Nobody?

[Filter screen partial refresh]

Good day,

I found that the preview of applying filters in develop persona is not consistent over the image, the filters being applied partially, please see the attached images.

The filter is correctly applied on the exported image, the problem exists in the develop persona, when editing the image.
I am using Affinity Photo 1.8.3.180. This bug does not exist on MacOS.

Love Affinity Photo, keep up the good work!

[Haze Removal Filter not working in 1.5.2]

Correct, Haze Removal doesn't work on the RAW image and this is a bug. It works on certain TIFF's and all JPG's.

Tested with ARW raw files.
