Hi and thanks very much for your response. I totally agree a far better image after applying the tone curve. I was rather trying to start with my image in a better 'state' to begin with. Hey Ho but thanks very much for looking into this for me

Hi and thanks for your reply. I, as you kindly suggested, tried fast raw viewer and the RAW file is as bright as it is in camera. Put it into Affinity it is very dark (i fear I have fiddled with some settings in Affinity and cant recall what) Attached are a RAW and JPEG (for comparison) image of my not so exciting desk! Thanks for your time on this. DSCF0003.RAF

Hi and thanks. Sadly that has not sorted it. I did restart affinity after adjustments

Hi all Sorry but I have been fiddling with something and now when I import a RAW file direct from SD card or via Photo Mechanic (PM)the image in the Affinity window is very dark. Its great in the camera and PM JPEGS are fine What have I done and how can I cure this Many thanks

Hi, I wonder if you are following this post. After the support of Dan C and his advice I can import XMP sidecar files. Stay Safe

YEAHHHHHHH !!!!! So So So happy. Your input and support has just transformed (for the good) my workflow Phew

Hi and thanks. Mac user so windows update is not for me. However I have learnt that AP will not accept sidecar files no matter what. So am forced into either using JPEGs for my tagging etc or and I am very tempted, move away from AP and use a post processing app that does Stay safe all

OK and thanks

Hi and wow that was quick. So in simple terms (for me) PhotoMechanic and AP when using RAW is not for me? Any suggestions for a DAM app ?

Hi, I am running a trial version of Photo Mechanic as my Data Asset Management for applying such information as key words. I apply the IPTC template to the image OK but when I click on the Photo Mechanic image for dragging over to Affinity I see that it highlights x2 files and when I drag the RAW file over the Affinity I get an error message XMP not compatible. The subsequent file is stripped of the IPTC template info. (this does not happen with a JPEG file. 1) Do I need to change something in Affinity 2) Is Photomechanic just not compatible with Affinity 3) Most important I guess - what do my fellow Affinity users us as a DAM Many thanks

Hi Mark w Yep, you nailed it in one Many thanks for your speedy and helpful response

I was up loading 38 files from Photo Mechanic for further processing and fear I have clicked something on affinity as all the images are presented as overlaid tiles Affinity v 1-10-4 Mac Os High Sierra 10.13.6 When I open affinity now I only get what is now displayed on this screen shot How do I get back to my normal view I have down loaded from scratch and fired up that download but still get the same result HELP!!!!

Hi and again thanks, locating the list of profiles at LensFun is my next task Kind regards

Hi and thanks for your speedy response. So, is there / what is the route for getting lens profiles up onto the Affinity Lens profile in develop persona. Be kind as I am obviously a newby to this Kind regards

Hi Back in Aug 21 I posted about lens profile updates. I wonder if Affinity have adopted a fresh approach regarding lens profiles particularly as Lensfun is not producing anymore Kind regards

Hi, I do like your displayed name. When I 1st read your reply - for which I thank you - I was on my phone and thought "what I have I done wrong now?" Anyhow, thanks again for your reply when next with a clear sky I will have a session specifically built for stacking Kind regards Bob

Advice sought on how to stack multiple images of stars (taken in one session) in order to create a single star trail image please. Fairly simple terms if you would as very new to this aspect

I am in total agreement with you. Affinity is so good in so many ways yet adopting this attitude is poor

Yes, absolutely

Hi and thanks for your comment. Your sophistication is very much higher than mine. A path I am progressing along.

Hi and thanks very much for your speedy reply. Sadly not only are the lenses I seek correction ability not on the list (not on development list either) but it looks very much like the person running the site is stopping, I quote "" Currently, I do not have time to maintain the Lensfun project in way that is satisfactory for myself, for the community and for the users. This project really needs someone who takes a look at the bigger picture and has the vision and motivation to keep the project alive and in a good condition. Therefore, I would like to ask the community to take over the Lensfun project management and maintenance in the next months. I will still be around and contribute from time to time. But to be realistic, none of the above listed changes will happen if no one else kicks in and does the job. Ideally, Lensfun is taken under the hood of a bigger project with experienced developers like e.g. Darktable or Rawtherapee that already makes use of Lensfun. "" Additionally but understandably there are no means of contacting Lensfun So I guess that the lenses I seek correction for will not be appearing anytime soon Your thoughts?

Hi team Can I ask please when / if your list of lenses in the Develop Persona - Lens Correction will be updated to include Fuji XF50-140 2.8 and 1.4 convertor Fuji XF8-16 2.8 R LM WR Fuji XF 200 F2 R LM OIS WR and Fuji XF 200 F2 R LM OIS WR and 1.4 convertor Many thanks

Hi, yes an Affinity tutorial on Soft Proofing would be ideal. However I found this very helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb8_yxRK7gA

Hi and thanks for your time and response. I am content to do the lens thing manually and wait for the Affinity up date as and when it happens.

Morning Gabe and thanks for your reply RAW file attached (I checked it before sending and the lens does not feature in the auto detect) The firmware for camera is up to date and I am using the latest version of Affinity Kind regards DSCF1220.RAF
