I'm trying to create a photo stack with a shot of the moon, however, the file comes out purple. It doesn't do this with a single file, just when I try to stack multiple images, any ideas on why this is?

If i open a RAW-File (from my Alpha 58) with AFPhoto and save it – without any changes – the size of the file is extremely large ! From 20 MB (standard-file/PSD-file) to 150 MB (after saving in AFPhoto) ! I open the file in Affinity Photo and press „develop“ (in German its called „entwickeln“ !) … and then i just save the file. Is there anything wrong ? I cant’t believe that the file size is the real result ?!? thx for help -
Hi all, I just started playing with affinity photo's raw conversion feature. Most other raw conversion tools come with some sort of auto-adjust that usually provides a good starting point. A screencap of my Capture One window is attached. Clicking on the "A" towards the top right of each section does the auto-adjust for each setting. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't find any auto-adjust in AP, for example, to auto-adjust exposure, colour balance, and so on. Do we have this feature in AP yet?

Hi, I've just bought Affinity Photo after Pixelmator kept mangling my images, AP works absolutely fine with JPG images and I can set up some really nice noise reduction in RAW but this NR then seems to completely disappear as soon as click 'develop' and wait for the blue bar to disappear. So at the moment I'm getting nicer processing by using my JPG images than with RAW (I shoot RAW+JPG on a Sony SLT-A58) which can't be right :). Any ideas? Is it a bug? I've uploaded 3 screenshots to demonstrate the problem. Thanks for any help, Dan

I just bought a new 5D mark 4, tried took some raw photos today. However, when I opened these photos with Affinity photo, they can't show normally while they can show normally in Google drive and Lightroom. So, I guess this is a software issue. I am using Affinity 1.4.3, anyone also has this problem and how should I solve it? Thanks! -
Had a bit of time last night for a weekend challenge so I pulled out an old Nikon raw file from an assignment in 2009 that was horribly mis-metered and badly exposed. Due to time constraints (the main shots had to be seeded to press right after the show) a bunch of shots never got published because they would have required too much time per shot. My challenge now was: Can I make this acceptable in 30 minutes or less. I think I got in the ballpark to where it'd be usable in an editorial context. Not likely that I'll publish this one as it's just a training piece to develop faster workflows. Moral of the story. Always shoot raw. Converters get better, new apps come along, chances are you can fix a bad shot a few years down the road. I pretty much expunged the way of working I had in Photoshop and now am closer to how I'd approach a shot in Nuke. Meta: Shot on August 8th 2009 at The Water Rats (Monto) in London, UK.

Wondering if there's, or there's going to be any updates for support of Xpro2 RAW files? -
When will there be support for the 5DMK4 Raw Files ? Thank You -
Hello, I recently tried the panorama feature and it works really great. But what's missing is that when I compose a panorama out of RAW files (NEF in my case), it would be cool to be able to develop the stitched foto further. Today I have to develop each photo of it's own at the beginning. Best Regards, Sven

I'm trying Affinity Photo's (v1.4.2) Haze Removal filter on an Olympus E-M1 raw file (.ORF). The filter seems to have no effect (zero) at all, even though I realize I need to Develop the raw file before I can access the Haze tool. The raw file is recognized by Affinity Photo and opens just fine. But the Haze Removal tool doesn't shows no visible difference. (Note that Photoshop CC and its Dehaze effect works well and works directly on the raw file... no "development" required.) Maybe there's something simple I'm missing, even though I watched the video about this tool a few times and tried to research it's use here in the forum. Thanks for any advice you can give. -
I'm using Affinity 1.4.2 on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) with Yosemite 10.10.5, 4 GB of RAM. When I open the attached raw file (created by the camera Panasonic DMC-TZ70) in Affinity Photo the image have lens distorsions (the distorsions look almost like the edges of the photo lens on the camera). See the RAW file (a zip file) and the exported JPEG image from Affinity (when the image is distorted and when it's not), compared to the exported JPEG image from Photos (v1.01), attached to this post. The above happens quite often even though the RAW Engine: Apple (Core Image RAW) has been selected in Affinity Photo. When I have the RAW file opened in Photos, and then open the same RAW file in Affinity Photo, the image has been corrected the same way as in Photos when the RAW Engine: Apple (Core Image RAW) is active when opening the RAW file in Affinity Photo. This lens correction is not applied when using the RAW Engine: Serif Labs; the image is not cropped and the dimensions of the image (in pixels) are larger. Is there a bug in Affinity Photo 1.4.2 when using the RAW import/engines? I know that the RAW image file is cropped automatically by Photos (and also by Preview) so that the lens distorsion is removed. The same correction is made in DxO OpticsPro 11 Elite - Trial version for this RAW file. Thanks in advance :) RAW_File.zip

Why I can't open Sony raw (arw, compressed) files with Affinity?

New to Affinity Photo, and so far, what I've seen looks good, then it all comes to an abrupt halt. Trying to do my forum avatar pic, I decide to use my new Serif software to resize my picture. All going good, until I come to "Save As", so that I can save my image as a JPEG. Even this forum doesn't recognise AFphoto files! :huh: Serif - the product is good, but why do I not have the option to save my processed file to what I want? For this example, JPEG would be enough. In the future however, it would nice to be able to convert my images to other file formats - such as DNG etc. How after processing my images - or friends images, as I do sometimes - how do I send them back their image - so that they can open it on their systems? :( -
Hi, I'm just trying out Affinity because it looks very nice, but I do have some questions. I'm used to Photoshop so please excuse me trying to get same out of the programs :P ,, Love that you can combine RAW processing and power of retouching tools. * I have some problems getting good quality out of your RAW processor with my 5D Mark III, Nikon D750 and Fuji's. Anyone got "secret Affinity ninja tips" to pull most out of the details and noisereduction and the tools in general? The tools I find on RAW converter feels like a hammer to a glass sometimes. I only have a couple day more on trial and want to see how it performs. * When filling a layer with 50% gray and put it to overlay or soft light, it should not affect brightness/darken the photo, at least from my photoshop experiences. In Affinity the image become darker for every 50% layer in overlay/soft light mode, is there a way around this? * Lets say I want to replace "Blue" channel with "Green" and set top layer to luminosity, how do I do this in Affinity? I found no way to replace one channel with another one, I might be blind tho. I try "Load to Pixel Blue" but I see no changes on composite layer. * I really want curve to affect a selected composite channel in "Channels", lets say I want to adjust the blue channel, how do I do this without making a adjustment layer? In PS you could CMD+M (CTRL+M) on the layer or channel to bring up a curve that will affect only "Blue channel" without making a new layer. Thanks for reading my stupid questions =) Aleksander -
Hi there! As a Photographer and recent convert to Affinity Photo i must congratulate you for the wonderful job you are doing to "free us from Photoshop" :) I read mentions on the forum about iPad versions and the teaser for Designer looks great. However I would love to know if there is an iPad Pro optimised version of Photo in the making? There are tons of photo apps but none that would suit a professional photography workflow. Adobe's apps are honestly a joke with Lightroom being the biggest one and I'm not interested in all the cloud thing. What many photographers i think could benefit from is a really powerful mobile editor with full RAW capabilites. Downloading to the iPad Pro in the field, and being able to do all the editing there would be a dream. Why not do this on a laptop? Because manipulating photos with hands and pencil on a touch interface is so much more natural. Because the iPad is easier to hold, carry, has better batter life... I love my iPad Pro but honestly, I'm waiting for it killer photo app. I really hope you guys will do that! Cheers!

I would like to know when raw from Lumix TZ100 will be available, thanks in advance. -
Hi I am just feeling my way with Affinity so any help will be appreciated I import my pictures to Aperture and have chosen Affinity as my external editor but when I export my raw image to Affinity the file opens as a Tiff and when I look in the Aperture preferences the only option to open the exported file seems to be either Tiff 8bit or 16 bit or PSD 8 bit or 16 bit no option for Raw any help please as I want to edit my Raw image in Affinity. Thanks -
Afinity Photo: Importing RAW images are being changed and turning very yellow. This has been happening since the update because I have our companies head shots that had the same issues but couldn't put my finger on it why they were coming out very yellow. I was thinking it was the white balance issue with my camera and the muslin blue background but its not. Attached is an image of the original nef file and the uploaded one with nothing done do it. The photo's are really unusable even when edited. Please help to address this. If there isn't a fix, I won't be able to use AFphoto for any of my editing needs.

Hi all, I've just released the next course for Affinity Photo. This one is all about using the Develop Persona to develop Raw files. You can view the course here - https://www.udemy.com/affinity-photo-raw-image-development/or you can watch a video about the course here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vqOTtmo11g . The course is over 3 & a half hours and is focused on the Develop Persona and Raw files. I created it with the course 'Affinity Photo: Solid Foundations' (also at udemy.com) in mind so that the two of the act together. I explain what a Raw file is, the advantages (and disadvantages) of Raw files over jpegs, and I go through the tabs and tools to give a thorough grounding in Raw file enhancement. As well as the theory and tool demonstrations I also take 10 Raw files and develop them so you can see the development process repeatedly. You get the same 10 Raw files as downloads to experiment with. Hope it proves useful to someone, Drippy Cat Hang on! - go here - https://www.udemy.com/affinity-photo-raw-image-development/?couponCode=AffinityRawPromoor enter ' AffinityRawPromo' (no quotes) to get a discount off the regular price until the end of May 2016! -
Is this currently supported in the free trial version? -
I would find it useful to be able to save pictures' raw development settings for future use, like DxO does. A preference setting allowing to choose from saving settings for all raw developments, none or asking for each picture would be a huge time saver. -
Hi, I want to switch from Adobe to Affinity but when on location really need a file browser. Currently I use Bridge to select photos then work on the Raw files in Adobe's raw converter. Is there a way one can edit in Bridge then open directly into Affinity's Raw converter? Thanks for any advice. Darren Heath. -
When I try to open a RAW file from Photos using Affinity Photo, the file becomes a JPEG file. But when I work on a photo in Photos usinf Affinity extension, I am working on a RAW file. What am I doing wrong with Affinity photo? -
Hello! I'm using the affinity 10 day trial and it was going great until now. I first tried using the luminance in the RAW editor of my NEF file to get rid of the noise and it looked great, but after I clicked "develop" it went back to being really noisey and even worse than when I started. I then tried just using the Denoise filter. It looked awesome as I was choosing the denoise setting, but when I clicked apply, again, it went back to being very noisey. I'm not sure what the problem is.
