Right now I am not sure what you mean. Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed
Tex4aviation Posted April 12, 2021 Author Posted April 12, 2021 Es gibt keine Vorschau in Affinity for das RAW Format. Man sieht nur den Namen des Files and das RAW Symbol. Aber eben kein Bild so wie das in Photoshop schon seit Jahren ist. Auch in Lightroom oder vielen anderen Programmen. Nur Affinity scheint das noch nicht geschnallt zu haben Quote

Affinity uses the OS' native file handling to display previews - you need to have the right codecs installed to display specific RAW formats. You can either find the codec(s) you need on-line and install them, or you can use something the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack. It's not free, but it's very reasonably priced and covers every RAW format I've used. Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10

On Windows 10, just open the "Microsoft Store" an load the "Raw Image Extension". You do not need paid software for most RAW formats. As others already pointed out, Affinty uses the OS file dialog, and it is your personal responsibilty to install the required software. Affinity becomes responsible only after you actually try to open a RAW file.

NotMyFault Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Bonus Program: If you want to view HEIF / HEIC images on Windows, you need to install "HEIF Image Extensions". https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9PMMSR1CGPWG But please be aware that Windows Explorer will become sluggish as hell when dealing with HEIF files from IOS devices or latest Canon Cameras. Again, you can only blame Microsoft instead of Affinity for crappy perfromance.
