We don't have an ETA on when that camera (or any) will be supported. We do try to update our RAW engine with new cameras each time we release an update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanSG Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 RAW support in Affinity is provided by LibRaw, a 3rd party product. The current version doesn't support the R5 but it's "expected" in the next snapshot, which would normaly be released sometime in Dec-Feb.

Peter N Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The R5 and R6 are selling fast, and there will be a significant demand for this. I much prefer using Affinity to all other pos processing systems and I very much look forward to being able to edit my R5 raw files using Affinity Photo.

chris.da.rule Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 hey all i am new to this forum, using affinity since june this year, presently in its newest version (1.8.5.703). now i too came across this CR3 RAW file problem, since i had a photo shoot yesterday, and received all the files in CR3 format. i am not able to see, neither open those files. by now, i tried windows raw file extension, but doesn't work. i know, i am not the only one who asked that - but is there any news on this? is this "libraw" extension something to use? i am a little sad now, bc i cannot work on my files, although i definitely need to... thank you for any reaction, chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Try the Affinity Photo Customer Beta (1.9.0.xxx) Win or Mac, which should offer some enhancements for the CR3 format handling and may include an updated libraw library. - Other than that you can use Canon's own Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software, which should always be up-to-date here for their cameras.

Peter N Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Thank you, and this worked, but only once... subsequent attempts said that "this file type is unsupported"...so it is close to working, I am going to uninstall and try again... No that didn't work either. The only thing that happened between it working and not working was that I downloaded the latest Canon EOS utilities...It is almost as if that has stopped the new beta version from downloading .CR3 files.

NotMyFault Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I’m a long time user both of Affinity Photo and Canon DPP, CR2 files are generally supported in AP, but once in a while I get some issues with CR2 files. Exposure settings get way off initially, and results for denoise could differ in details. And there is no simple way to copy settings to multiple pictures. As a workaround, I will do the raw development mostly in DPP and export as 16 bit TIF. This makes it easy to get consistent results for multiple photos quickly (e.g. exposure adjustment, white balance), as DPP can create “receipts” and apply them quickly to multiple raw files. And previewing / star rating is a bunch of pictures is not available at all in AP. In case of focus merge, it is actually recommended by Serif to pre-process raw files to get better results For advanced work I then continue with AP.
