Ok Time To Update For CR3

[Hjortur]

Ok is it not a nice time to update for CR3 file  now ?? I have a Canon R5 and I can't use my Affinity any more.... I have be using LR  lately and I don't like it (noise)

This also highly depends on a libraw release which then supports those R5/R6 cams, since Affinity reuses that one for RAW processing.

Hi,

as a workaround you can use Affinity Photo for editing if you use (free) Canon DPP to convert the  CR3 files to Tiff first. This can be done quite easy as batch processing. If you have lots of pictures to edit, this will safe you time as you can apply basic corrections (e.g exposure, lens correction, picture style, white balance) to many pictures in one step. 
 

I personally prefer to develop my CR2 files to tiff in Canon DPP as this provides more consistent results.

Affinity Photo has its own Canon CR3 support to supplement the code it gets from libraw. However, neither seems to handle the R5/R6 yet, not even in the 1.9 beta.

I doubt that, they probably only took what libraw 0.19 and 0.20.1 offered in terms of CR3 parsing/handling (including the bugs).

Serif said at the time that they contacted Canon and got access to additional information to implement CR3 support.

Ok let's assume they got some informations/help from Canon here then and it still doesn't work?

It works for the CR3 file-types that they've implemented it for so far. It used to not work for any of them, until Serif got the data from Canon (which was before libraw released any of their CR3 support).

Each camera model probably provides slightly different data in its CR3 files than the other camera models provide, so even with Canon's assistance a new camera model requires new code.

Yip that's always the case, not only with Canon, same with Nikon and other brands here!
