If I may add to the above 2 items which are pretty fundamental... 1. To have a cataloging feature...so that editing photos taken can be much easier, to first cull the photos, rate, etc then move to develop, edit, export... i am trying out the trial version and just tried to do it with my shooting session...it is a pain to manage....have to switch back and forth to move files to folders that will keep for develop, etc...not a natural workflow and a waste of storage and time consuming. if Affinity photo can speed up the performance, reduces the file size and have a cataloging feature, it will be a winner, those very specific and more nitty gritty features are niche, and nice to have. think of the larger community...feature sets are pretty rich already, from layers, stacking, Color channels, markings, selection tools....but with slow speed, large files that take much undue time to backup edits and lack of cataloging features just make it few notches behind....without these few fundamentals will not be adopted as full fledge system like adobe and captureone etc....I believe affinity photo has the features and functions covers (90%) but seriously lack what I mentioned.

Oh I see, thanks. are you shooting with Fuji by the way? X trans raw files are known to be more difficult to handle. However other program seems ok...I am trying out affinity and on1 now using trial version...on1 is much faster

Only 2 option in renderer drop down, 1 is my graphic card the other is warp...no difference at all i turned off all action in develop assistance....no noise reduction, no tone curve..still not any faster... is there anything I did wrong or some other settings?

Wow, developer collaborating with user community, that's great. Many ask for features and enhancements, etc... I have 2 humble ask: 1. Improve speed in both raw processing and adjustments preview refresh...Seems like the program is taking lots of CPU & Memory resources relative to other similar programs 2. Reduces the size of the Afphoto document file, its massive a few edits and it can be much bigger than the raw file from 50 MP raw file...storage is cheap these days but still not a good use of resources and make backup much more time-consuming...many other programs sidecar file are way smaller

Hi I just started using the Affinity Photo on trial, the loading of raw file is slow and when I make adjustments the application some time freezes all inputs (keyboard & mouse) for a few seconds. Is there anything that I should be paying attention, below are some details of my setup? Affinity Photo Windows version 1.6.4 - Trial version Windows 10 Pro updated to latest windows updates i7, 16BG RAM, SSD, Nvdia GXT 1050i 4GB RAM Fuji X-Trans III raw file from X-T2 No other changes made to the affinity installation, all are default settings
