I have the same aggravation having purchased from MS. I use Xnview to view images and can set photo Beta as an external editor. Right clicking on an image in Xnview and selecting open in explorer allows me to then right click the image and choose photo to open the image. It's an extra step but it works .

I used HSL selected green and desaturated.

I found previously that it stopped Adobe CC from updating, but not always. I always re-enable it afterwards.

Tried but failed to install the latest beta. Turning off in Google Chrome settings 'Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed' allowed the installation to complete. This needs a restart before installing. I hope this may be a help to someone having the same problem.

I tried for a refund from MS....no refunds after 30 days, so live with it or pay again!

Just wish I'd known this before buying from MS store. My only option is to wait or buy again from the Affinity site, not a good feeling.

Any progress on the problem of MS purchased AP not able to get the beta versions? Is this likely to be solved any time soon?

My copy was purchased from the MS App store, I cannot download the beta versions, will there be delays or problems getting updates?

I bought my copy of AP from the MS App store, so don't have a product key. How can I get the beta version?

I've been using AP for a little while and for the price I think it a bargain. For me there are some short comings which hopefully will be sorted in time, but in the meantime I have found work-arounds for most. Reading the forums it strikes me that users are hoping to get an Adobe equivalent programme for an Affinity price. I too would be delighted with this, but is it a realistic expectation?

The FastPictureViewer codec pack has done the trick. I can now see thumbnails of all files in Windows and Affinity, just what I needed. Many thanks for all the prompt and good advice.

I can process RAW files from Canon 760D and 77D, but cannot see thumbnails or previews. Raw files from older Canons are OK. Is there something that I can do or is this something to just wait for?
