Well, the problem remains unsolved, after all. Today I shot some bird photos, imported into mac Photos, created a new smart folder for RAW images, and verified they were CR2. I then opened AP, navigated to the RAW folder in Photos, opened an image, and it opened in the photo persona as a jpeg. Hmm. I then went to the AP media browser, navigated to the same image, opened it, and it opened in the photo persona as a jpeg. So, I did a little investigating again. As you will see in the attached screenshot, Photos correctly shows the image as CR2. The AP media browser shows it as a jpeg. I then right-clicked the thumbnail in the AP media browser and selected "show in finder" - which displayed the image as a jpeg in a mystery folder. Now none of the raw files are showing as CR2 in the AP media browser. So, I then exported the CR2 image from Photos to a desktop folder; in AP navigated to File>Open and to the image in the desktop folder which was displayed as CR2 and opened in the develop persona. I am unable to navigate to the desktop folder in the AP media browser. Somehow, somewhere the CR2 images are also on my Mac somewhere in mystery folders as jpegs. Which explains why yesterday I was seeing what I was certain were CR2s as jpegs. However, yesterday I could find the CR2 images in Photos with the AP media browser. Today - no. Nor is AP>File>Open seeing the Photos images as CR2. Now AP only recognizes the CR2 if I export it from Photos. I won't rule out that this is still user error; but, I'm thinking it's a bug somewhere.

Well, the problem is solved. Seems to be a user error. I used the media browser for the first time and navigated to CR2 images which opened correctly in the develop persona. While browsing, I discovered that some of the files I thought were CR2 files were, indeed, jpegs. When I go to file>open>photos - I'm unable to see the extensions (I've attached 2 screenshots of this). When I tried again with file>open and went to what I knew is a definite CR2 image, it open in the develop persona.

Stefano - do you have a link to 1.4.1 beta? I haven't been able to find it on the site. Thanks. Never mind. I found it. :)

Hello, I'm one year into a reluctant retirement and am attempting to resuscitate my creative self. As a (very) amateur photographer, I've been spending much of the abundance of free time I now have on acquainting myself with an inherited digital camera (Canon EOS 20D; 18-55mm and 75-300mm lenses), as well as experimenting with iPhone-ography. The latest version of Photoshop I worked with was Photoshop 6.0, which resides on a very dead PC CPU. Hence, I was extremely happy to discover Affinity Photo and Designer and that they're specifically developed for the Mac. Now that I'm on a fixed income, paying a monthly fee to Adobe was out of the question. I'm enjoying the time I'm spending with AP and look forward to future developments with it. Thank you, Serif, for keeping the price more than reasonable!

I have just upgraded to 1.4 - raw files are still opening as a pixel layer in the Photo persona....

Firstly, this past week AP has crashed frequently on me. I've been editing three photos and gradually AP began crashing toward the end of editing - such as when adjusting unsharp or a high pass filter. Then it would crash without any action by me. Secondly, today I attempted to open raw files and they would not open in the developer persona. They would open in the photo persona as a pixel layer or when I tried placing, as an image layer... This has not happened before this week. Any insight into what may be the problem? I am using AP 1.3.5; Mac El Capitan 10.11.2. Thank you!
