Richard Collins Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) I just purchased Affinity Photo. I have an occasional use for a still photo viewer that is fast and shows large images (I use a lot of astrophysical images). But for every still photo I might open, I work with data from thousands of videos. These are high resolution and now extremely high frame rates (millions of small regions of interest per second). I was hoping that Photo would have some rudimentary ability to open MP4 (a collection of images), FITS (collection of data including images), HDF5 (same) and many others. With registration and stacking and image processing algorithms, the video capable "cameras" are not really different than "wireless webcam", "POE security cameras", "internet data streams", "screen recordings", "many millions of lab instruments and images sensors", and more. (For the Internet Foundation, I review all sensor communities on the Internet. The image sensors, including many 3D sensors and technologies, are vast and pervasive. But I am getting a handle on the whole). So if Photo wants to stay in the groove, it really really ought to take data from any sensor. That can include all simple time series or groups of timeseries, since the visualizations are implicitly 2D, 3D, simulations. (would someone tell the programmer who wrote this editor to turn off the reCAPTCA after I click it. Extend the ___ timeout. I cannot write in a minute or less. If it changes while I am typing, it locks up and you have to reload the page, reenter the title and email and waste time.
