I got my book yesterday and the unopened German copy will be on its way back to them as soon as I get to a post office (too big for the letter boxes near me).

I got my book on Monday - unfortunately I have a German not English copy - so need to wait for Serif to be back next week to sort it out - (someone at the shippers stuck an English sticker on over the German one on the back of a German book!)

Just tried the link on my Mac running Mojave with Safari 14 took about 10 seconds to load.

No problems here - OSX 10.14.6 Safari 14 or on my iPad / iPhone

I had never heard of Graphic Converter so I will give it a look

Apple photos loses out with the metadata handling for me. I have about 40k photos with around 2000 keywords to allow me to find anything, as photos doesn't do keyword hierarchies it is very hard to maintain. If they had ported over the Aperture keywords system then I would have saved money but as they didn't....

I've been looking at this in some detail recently, and come up with the following conclusions (you may all disagree) I currently use Aperture (for old photos) and Apple Photos (for new) this is due to buying an EOS R which aperture can't read the raw files from. So looking at the options: Darktable Can't read CR3 files so out of contention Capture 1 Probably one of the best if your wallet can take the impact - personally £300 is too much for an application and the upgrades are going to hurt - if I had a Sony camera it is different but as I shoot on Canon... L

Hmm Well as a comparison On1 Photo Raw £66.53 Capture 1 £299 (assuming you don't have a Nikon, Fuji, or Sony camera) Dxo photo lab £112 or 169 So the prices vary somewhat when you look at just the initial investment

As it is a Mac program it is probably using the OS features to preview the afphoto files, as OSX can preview the file (just select it and hit the spacebar) in the later version by default - it works on my Mac running Mojave

have you tried stacking the images using Affinity itself - just wondered what your thoughts were?

strange maybe something else on my machine caused it

Hi Jon I have just uploaded the same file for a spellcheck problem - so you should be able to retrieve it off your dropbox account just realised I used a different email address to the forum one it starts giles@g - not affinity@g

I have uploaded the file as requested - not all the pictures as they are mostly linked but just the content just realised I used a different email address to the forum one it starts giles@g - not affinity@g

yes - can you send me a link to upload it (do you want it with or without the images as there are about 10mb of linked files in this one) And I had just replaced a word when it crashed
