Lock Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I have installed the update, but I can`t find an information if Panasonic G7 is now supported. The old G5 shows in RAW format with Aperture much better results than the G7 in Affinity after the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 20, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi Lock, Welcome to the Forums :) G7 isnt one of the files on our supported RAW format list. However this list is constantly being updated so it may be added in the future. C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

chrisw Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Latest Sony A7R11 raw also not supported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lock Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi Callum, I prefer to work with RAW, as probably most of your users do, and you tell me that my camera "may be added in the future" to the list of RAW support. That tells me, that I have to find myself a solution to the RAW support if I do not want to wait to one day in the future. Sorry, I was really enthusiastic about a possible alternative to Aperture.

coranda Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Lock, Have you tried using Adobe's DNG convertor? If that supports your camera then convert your raw files to dng and I think AP will probably support them - although I haven't tried it.

Lock Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Coranda, Thanks for advice, I have tried DNG convertor and it worked well, however the results of my RAW file processed in my camera look better, but this might be due to my lack of practice with Affinity. The Import of photos via DNG to Affinity than the transfer to Aperture (where I have still organized my photos) is complicated. Therefore I hope, that Affinity will become a better Aperture.

coranda Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Lock, The jpeg you get from your camera will be heavily processed and designed to look, at least superficially, good. Most raw convertors I've used seem to do some default processing to also make most images look good, AP for example has, by default, the assistant turned on and so does some tonal correction. My pet gripe is that Lightroom performs highlight recovery by default which can't be turned off. Personally, I find this annoying as I'd rather have a minimalist conversion and hence have full control over post processing. I don't use the raw convertor in AP for two reasons: It is still a relatively new product with a number of shortcomings. Affinity, to their credit, acknowledge that they have work to do and intend to improve it. But most importantly, AP's raw convertor cannot save your conversion settings in a space efficient manner but needs to save the whole, processed file as afphoto, tiff or some other format. These files are huge compared to the xmp sidecar files of ACR or the database entries of Lightroom and Aperture. If I'm creating a special image for printing then that overhead would be fine but if I take 500 shots of my grandsons playing cricket or granddaughters at calisthenics then I need a way to process raw files that isn't going to consume gigabytes of extra storage.
