Try ON1, they include "camera profiles" and their own ON1 profiles. Plus ON1 has Linear Raw, 95% of the time "camera profiles" severely distort colors and contrast and starting out with the Linear image can help you improve your photography skills (it lets you see right up front, haze, contrast, and exposures more realistically in a photographic sense . I use Affinity and ON1 in combination, because the RAW developers are different just like my images? To be frank and honest, staying dedicated, committed, and loyal to one editing program is foolish today. Yes, it is harder to learn different systems no doubt about it. There is also absolutely no doubt about staying one dimensional and plain boring by being faithful to only one editor. I recommend using Affinity with other processors, period because one dimension in a multi-dimensional world doesn't fit everything....physics. My point is, Affinity is excellent but you shouldn't just accept it and use another system to have them compliment each other. DPP4, RAW Therapee, Silkypix, etc.... add one to your tool box and see? (some are free) And btw, I really like Affinity Photo very much and before I print or post? Affinity is my personal "proof" editor, the final program I use before printing/posting ....the "Judge" ware

This theme/thread/poll should continue and be revived, companies and developers are making even more strides and the field is changing again very rapidly. With a Mac, processing with AI is just beginning as I see it, the PC world needs to catch up... Digital Camera World hides this quote; (DPP4) "Digital Photo Professional does offer perhaps the best combination of sharpness and noise control of any raw processing tool – yes, including Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom. (ACR) So if you’re a Canon user, it very much makes sense to download it and give it a try." btw, If you bought a new Canon, the software is included as part of the package which comes with the camera. Of course I use Affinity for my Nikon D200 CCD sensor and Lumix G9. I was a subscriber to Adobe, and came back to using Affinity during that time only to discover my subscription was not worth the same value when it comes to Raw processing. But DPP4 is also limited, in fact depending on the subject and scene I can and do have better results using Affinity, especially when using a 3rd party lens (Tokina ATX 16-28 2.8) ? However, lighting optimizer and digital optimizer, enhancement features which are Canon proprietary and only work when using a Canon camera and lens combos. (eos 5ds r and 24-105 L, 100-300 L, 22-55, 50 1.4) Fact of the reason, all other editware assumes and where DPP4 has actual Canon data it's exclusively permitted to access, data no other editware can apply/use. If you work with m4/3's or older 10meg CCD made files like I do, then resizing matters? (Lanczos 3)read all you want outside the sphere, it works for me, I'm a disciple...that makes using Developer worth it for me as well. It all depends on what you do, how much time you devote or don't want to devote... Some people would rather be out shooting and dread the editing later....like fishing? It's great to catch fish, but who cleans them when we're done catching? So which person are you; see a lid and your first inclination is ...make it a still subject? or ...lift that lid and see what's under it? DCW above had one of those best of the best things of 2022, rated Affinity #3 behind High Priced Fashion Designers; 'the Plan' and 'Cap One Off' (the two most majorly expensive are first and second, that's what a subscription is for...paying overhead) and then hidden down below was a stack of highlighted links to other best of the best showdowns in 2022 on other pages, the one for Best Free Photo Editing, where down near its bottom and below Nikon NX, was... Canon Digital Processing spelled out fully (not simply as DPP4?) making it even more obscure. When you read the verdict DCW reveals above, it's as if they want to admit it but hide it at the same time? Canon EOS DSLR using a Canon branded lens only, DPP4 is the best RAW processor for me. Affinity edits from there. All else, I find Affinity RAW processing best for me, however I have stone statue patience, I like editing a lot. I'm just a common and ordinary real person, I make no other claim to being anything other

I really don't understand how someone can use a question another person asked as an opportunity for themselves to be hostile, there is no excuse for a person to berate another person period. It is simply an unkind way to be and I personally find that type of reply cowardly and offensive. It requires absolutely no nerve to be a bully online, and replying towards someone you are upset with like an ogre makes you one... not a source for anything but grief, Golden Rule please. And if I see rudeness, now or 20 years ago....I will say something, count on it. People speaking about it, that's how we eliminate it ...unkindness that is. I came here seeking information, instead I walked into a 'grief' bashing someone in their head online, pretending to be a service ...pitiful waste of time that ruins a thread

Approximate? Close to the actual, but not completely accurate or exact ...the definition of "Approximate" aka; a Complete Stab in the Dark at Something ? Here's a fact about pixel shift (researchable as well on this very forum?) it can be "accurately" produced by the human hand. But it's not my word, it happens to be the word of a person here on the forums, it's "published" and other members reported duplicating the results themselves, publishing their opinions. Not one or two people, several. it's cultural thing I suppose, in some societies free speech means you're free to write whatever the heck you want, facts are meaningless only your right to say anything is, right or wrong doesn't matter. imaginary tales are the ones people tell with no steps attached to them for us to follow on our own, because they never existed in the first place the secret kingdom of "I" Superresolution means Super Flaw Reveal, count on it It really can boil down to how much time and patience you have or how consistently stable your hands are...if you take 20 images at one time handheld, some are going to be trash, don't use auto WB , aperture or shutter priority, use all manual controls all the way ... if you don't nail your settings and sort the 20 images? What you get is 20 images of varying flaws, all multiplied when stacked and one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch ...but not always?

Super Resolution "can" be achieved ....and with any camera, not just on Photoshop, who if you have a system with the resources or an Apple M1 chip is "awesome" but also with Stacking On Affinity as well, it's been done and it's been posted on this forum starting back in 2017 Don't take my word for it I'm just a Troll? The author of that post proved it and several members verified it as working following the steps outlined I used the Photoshop system for taking older 10 meg D200 images and increasing the resolution, with just built in graphics and 8 gig of RAM on a Dell, I could process one shot and have to reboot the system again before I could try another or it would lock up You're going to be maxing out resources quickly, no matter what you try But don't let ANYONE ever tell you "NO" and just accept it is as Final That's what caught my attention the most, how someone (anyone) could come along and say, "unfortunately no" without a single thing to support it and the person who asked just accepted it as Final? \ A troll who says, Search "Super Resolution Using Affinity" on Google and see what pulls up? More than just my word for it If you want to use Adobe's Superresolution, this Troll highly suggest you have a one good system, Apple's M1 will allow you incredible resolutions and everything else will struggle, maybe not right away but they will fade and crash, you'll be amazed and then po'd you don't have more resources...

You'd think it would be simple to just get a refund or express your dissatisfaction, or something not publicly? So you sell crap as far as I'm concerned if everyone has to read my issue too? I hate forums, detest them and want nothing to do with one or the the people who find them useful Photoshop beats your product in the one category that really matters.... stability and reliability and Affinity is a -0 to Adobe at 100 and I was duped for 50 bucks by this "thing".... most unreliable unstable software I have used in 20 years ...bar none. If users want guaranteed frustration? ...Affinity because it's a pure crapshoot to have a an image not crash the program and get you through without 5 or 6 freezes per image .....horrible, horrible after 6 months just horrendous freeze crash freeze updated to new, uninstalled and downloaded latest version clean...same exact issue, just as bad. Same computer Runs Adobe and Silkypix, smooth as silk...not a hiccup ever ....not one... Who cares what the results are after all that frustration? All you can really think about is paying money for a nerve rattling experience like Affinity offered and why you bought the thing in the first place?
