Dear Affinity People, I'm not proficient in using your software- yet. But I can't get Affinity Photo Beta to get the tonal gradations easily achieved in PhotoNinja. I tried replicating in Affinity what I can easily achieve in 1 minute in PN. See the attached files. I'm sure there is functionality in AP that can soften the highlights, and reveal detail better than I've done- but after almost 5 minutes of trying, I gave up. In the attached files I couldn't adjust the highlights to get even close to those in the PN example- and the purple fringing along the back of the man's shirt has got to go. I'm sure you'll get there eventually, but I hope sooner rather than later. Fuji has very difficult RAW files to get right. I love AP, and hope that soon I can make it my program of choice for my X-T1 and A-E1. Thanks! Dex

X-T1 raw files open well now. They were a bit dodgy in the beginning.

THANKS Affinity Beta 1 developers. I don't know how you did it right out of the starting gate- but my Fuji X-E1 raw conversions can be color-balanced more quickly and accurately than I've been able to do in PhotoNinja. Actually, I got a great white balance on a shot that I couldn't get done accurately in PN, despite 10 minutes of fiddling. With Affinity, 30 seconds. KUDOS! (No please add the X-T1 raw conversion when you can. That's my main camera.)
