Is there any idea when the DNG issue with DXO PureRAW will be fixed?

Can you zip and attach a sample DNG file? I remember seeing something similar before.
Hi, here is a DNG file created from an Olympus ORF file in PureRaw. If you look to the right of the rock in the Surf there is the pinkish/magenta hue in the highlights. If you reduce highlights in the Develop Persona the pink increases in strength. I'm not sure if it's a problem with PureRAW or Affinity Photo. Thanks

I will this evening, as I am currently at work. Thanks

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but when I open DNG files that have near blown highlights I'm getting a pinkish magenta cast in the brightest areas. If I try to correct by reducing the highlights in the develop persona the magenta color gets more intense. The DNG file was created in the new DXO PureRAW program and imported into Affinty Photo, I have contacted DXO also to investigate. This was taken with an Olympus E-M1 MkII with a 7-14mm 2.8 Pro lens 1/6400 ISO 200 f/2.8

Great Update! much improved performance and love that assets and brushes are sorted alphabetically now! Thanks

Fantastic Update. The few quirks that I was experiencing (in the develop persona) have been eliminated for me, great work!!!

that suggestion was in relation to the quoted text from aji, discussing something that 1.9.0 does with brush pressure that 1.8.5 did not, that cannot be "fixed" by turning OpenCL off. For those who need that to work 1.8.5 is a sensible workaround
Gotcha, the response was mixed within the OpenCL problems discussion hence the confusion, My apologies.

Getting back to 1.8.5 may be our best way before affinity 2.0.
Photoshop also left an issue about brush system since 20.0 and never gets fixed.
Cheap is enough and I will pay for affinity 2.0.Why go back to 1.8.5? When all you have to do is disable OpenCL (for now). There are too many great features in 1.9 to give up on!

2021 AFFINITY PROBLEMS. I have the same identical problems as many viewers online since the last update. I open a raw photo in Affinity but suddenly the photo takes much longer to open, it is much darker for some time before it becomes lighter, photos disappear before I save it. The program shuts down while I work on the raw file or regular jpg files. Basically the program crashes and I need to open it over and over. There is something seriously wrong with the entire Affinity program. If this continues I will purchase a different brand for photo editing. These issues needs to be solved before everybody exits to another program. Eva
It is most definitely your computer, there are the occasional bugs but to say that there is something seriously wrong is a little premature. Make sure you meet all minimum requirements then uninstall an reinstall the application and turn off hardware acceleration. I run Photo 1.9 perfectly fine other then a few glitches that I'm sure will be worked out, so it has to be your setup. Good luck

Here.. take a look at this.. just happened now as i was doing a abstract B&W modeling .. (it was the first time i was using this specific live filter)
I see what you are saying, but I am not experiencing anything like that. Try changing your renderer to WARP, it's worth a try.

One would thought so.. but.. on live filters the artifacts (and i mean the squares, triangles and rectangles as a 3D mesh type alike) also show up randomly regardless if the OpenCL is activated or not. This happens a lot more frequently with hardware acceleration activated.. but it also happens without it. This happens on the latest Release Candidate and also on the latest beta.. so.. i am not really sure what is going on there.. so.. at this moment, the live filters are (for me) unreliable and can not be used at all..
When i say live filters i mean mostly blur and distortion as these are the ones i use more.. but i think this maybe happening with a few more others as well..I have no other issues other than the square artifacts showing up after I develop a RAW file. I have used many live filters on the new version and have not had any issues with them, I'm not sure what is happening with your setup but it may be entirely different than what is happening with me. I have processed over 30+ raw files last night with OpenCL turned off and I didn't have a single issue. Before that with hardware acceleration turned on I would have the square artifacts on maybe 3-4 files out of every 10. I had first thought it was because I had multiple files open or the amount of time I had the application open but I have determined that it seem to be totally random.

The random squares showing up after the Develop persona is definitely tied to the hardware acceleration, If I turn off OpenCL the issue goes away. I will turn it off for now until it's a little more mature.

This is a strange one, I have been trying to understand why this is happening? With me it is very random and when the picture is reloaded the problem goes away, are you also finding this? I also have a feeling it has to do with the amount of time the application is open along with multiple files open, so I wonder if it is some kind of memory leak.

I'd be interested if you could try this some more, as I think it should be reasonable "random" (even on a single file) but would like to know if it is related to multiple files.
I did some more experimenting and couldn't find anything conclusive, but out of approx 30 files I edited last night about 9 pictures gave me problems. I would close all files then reopen and then the files would develop correctly, I did notice that it would happen more often if multiple files were open and it seemed to happen after the application was open for a while (the first half hour to 45 minutes were problem free).

I don't think multiple files opened. What I think is to do with the graphic card issues. It was also have an issue with Developing Persona, using multiple layers involved with filters such as blur filters. Noticed blockage marks and color variations issued when push the setting to the limited and back to personal requires. This is only random and if you restart the Affinity Photo seem to work normal again.
My issue is happening well before any layer work is done. It is happening when I've finished any changes to my RAW files and am developing the image and exiting the Develop persona. I have done multiple test when it happens by closing all files I have open and re-developing the image, after this is done the problem does not reappear this is done without restarting Photo. This still has me believing that the Multiple file scenario is still valid, but I'm going to do more testing.

Does it do it with hardware acceleration off?
I pretty sure it doesn't but I'm going to do some more testing this evening. I really want to be able to use the acceleration on as the performance is night and day faster!

Ok, I will get back to you I'm working on a photo shoot this evening and will try with multiple files open. I have experimented a little and the multiple file hypothesis seems likely, at least with my computer configuration (Laptop). I also want to experiment on my desktop computer that has a little more graphical horse power but with only 16Gb ram.

Has anyone has problem with the picture shown block likes a rectangles marked after RAW developed.
See my attached photo, what I meant.
Windows 10 Pro version 20H2
Affinity Photo Version 1.9.0.932
I am also having this happen after exiting the Develop Persona. For me it is happening intermittently, I think it happens when multiple files are open. When I close all files and reopen the problem file the problem seems to go away, but I can't be 100% sure.

Not sure what is happening but I occasionally get a squares on my images after exiting the develop persona. I have hardware acceleration on and it appears to happen when I have multiple images open, if I close all images and reopen (with just a single image open) the problem seems to go away. This is on a i7 7700HQ with intel 630 & nVidia GTX1060 with 32 Gb ram w/Latest Windows 10 & Drivers

Just installed 1.9 and so far looks good.
Nikon RAW images appear to take longer to load than before, but maybe that's my own impatience. Using a Z7 so the files are around 50MP.
Hardware acceleration looks brilliant. I have an NVidia GForce 1050 and I see massive increases in performance. Before it was many seconds and now it's instant.
I don't see my camera or its presets supported in RAW editing, nor the brilliant Nikkor Z 14-30 f/4. I've requested that lens be added - months ago - in the open-source lens profiler you use. When are you going to add it? It's been on the market two years.
I'd really like to figure out how to save my own RAW editor presets to apply to RAW files as I first load them. Is there a video available for that? I haven't really found one yet ... maybe I haven't looked hard enough.
You CAN save RAW develop presets, but there isn't a way to have them automatically load. You have to manually select the presets after each RAW file is loaded. That would be a nice addition to be able to select the presets to load automatically, maybe in a future update.

Thank You, Thank You! You guys Rock! Incredible update!

the unresolved problem of load speedly luts it is present yet.
30 secs to load 7 luts is not nice.
Now , only list names in luts? no more previews?
The funny thing is, if i make a macro to load a specific LUT . . . the lut is loaded instantly.But if i need change the lut i need to wait a lot the first time!
I'm not having any issues with Luts, what are your system specs?

There is an issue with Photo w/DXO PureRAW DNG files (A known issue). It may be tied to the issue that the OP was having. That is the reason I thought I would bring it up. There may be a problem with DNG files in general in Affinity Photo.
