  1. Sorry, but this is no argument. I just tried again with a file from the 14 year old Hasselblad H3DII-39, and again there are no lens corrections available. Don‘t tell me that the HC and HCD lenses which are on the market since more than 10 years cannot be supported. This is ridiculous. So I only can say good bye to Affinity Photo. It is totally useless…
  2. I am using the brand new released X2D100c camera from Hasselblad. So I may understand that this camera is at the moment not supported, since it is on the market only since 2 months. The Hasselblad X1D and X1DII cameras, on the other hand, are listed as supported camera; however,l there are still no corresponding lenses in the lens list. The X1D camera is on the market since about 2016, the newer edition at least since more than 2 years. It is really highly disappointing that you didn't manage to include these cameras/lenses in the meantime. If you want to be a serious competitor to Adobe then you must act in a different way. They support even the newest lenses which were released just two months ago. The present situation of nonexisting support of Hasselblad cameras and lenses in Photo 2 is a severe drawback and it means that for me the software is totally useless and I will further on use the Adobe software.
  3. I have worked quite a lot with AP on the iPad pro during a trip and now exported psd-files for further fine tuning in Photoshop at my desktop computer. I have found out that there is an inconsistency in the AP parameter scaling of adjustment layers when opened in Photoshop. For instance a black&white conversion with the AP setting red=green=yellow=50%, blue=cyan=magenta=0 will open in PS as red=green=yellow=127, blue=cyan=magenta=0, which gives a totally overexposed picture. To get the correct tonal values in the picture as with AP I have to change the Photoshop setting to red=green=yellow=50. I attach the corresponding screen shots... The same happens for lightness/contrast: An AP setting of lightness=10% will result in a PS value of 25. It seems that all AP percentage values are stored in the psd file with reference to the value 255. This is quite annoying because it means that I have to rescale all parameters in Photoshop to get the same tonal values as with AP. A similar bug appears in the size change of a document. If I have a document size of 2100x2800 px with 300 dpi and I choose <centimeters> instead of <pixels> the program offers me the silly values of 2100x2800 cm instead of computing the actual document size which would be 2100/300*2,54=17,78cm width and 2800/300*2,54=23,71cm height. Likewise I can choose <inch> to end up with the total nonsense of 2100x2800 inch..... Greetings, Stephan
  4. I am fully on your side and claimed the same in a critical comment. Read this statement which shows that our desires will never be fulfilled: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/42040-affinity-ipad-version-is-not-worth-the-money/?p=210361
  5. After my experience with Affinity on iPad you can develop a RAW image, but afterwards this development is gone and you cannot go back and edit your development parameters (like color temperature or b/w conversion or any other setting). For my work such a nondestructive RAW file development is of basic importance for further post processing. Is there any plan for such an improvement ?? As long as this feature is not available Affinity for me cannot rival Lightroom mobile... Regards, Stephan
  6. Sorry, but it seems quite senseless to me if you support the RAW file format of Hasselblad (3fr resp. fff) but do not support the lenses of this company. Under these conditions Affinity is no solution for me.
  7. I downloaded a test version for Windows and I realized that there is no possibility to apply a lens profile to the RAW file for development. In first place I am not interested in manual lens corrections but the most important thing is that the manufacturer's lens profile is used for automatic lens correction. I use a Hasselblad H5D-50c. I developed the Raw file in Photoshop RAW (where the lens is automatically identified and the profile applied) and compared it to the development in Affinity. Since there is no identification of the used lens in Affinity no lens correction is applied although the "lens correction" is switched on. The same drawback appears with pictures taken wit a NIKON D750 …. Under these conditions the software is useless for me... Or did I overlook something ??? Best, Stephan
