I fully understand, it is not that easy to bring out a new application. Developing designer first, well ok. Photo second, why not. Then anything for windows? Well, I had to swallow hard, but ok, money and markets... very important. And now? "IPad takes ressources", so it is not in 2015, not in 2016 and now, if everything works, at the end of first half 0f 2017, maybe... And we are talking about the beta, not more. I will tell you something. I do know some advertising a2gencies, cause I do Apple support as well. I told them to test photo and designer and they said, "very interesting products". They do like adobe in general, but not their pricing anymore. BUT: They will never switch to affinity unless there is a mighty desktop publisher. You want to make affinity great and being a standard? Bring out publisher asap, guys!!

There actually is a need for competition. I really hope AP can be on the same level as Adobe. Wrong RAW handling would be the killer for the whole application. So I finger cross as well!

Well, that is exactly, what I thought. In may case, I have got canon camera raws. When opening, they seemed to be rendered in a way. And depending on the photo, different kinds of changes are visible. To be honest, a raw should be opened as the raw it is, unless I specify some settings on how a photo should initialy processed. So, how is the idea behind this? What and why does affinity photo something to raw files? And we are not alone:
