creature Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hello! I have a Fuji X-T4 and run a slightly older version of macOS. MacOS doesn't support the X-T4's RAW files, but Affinity Photo does (via the Serif RAW engine). It'd be great if Affinity Photo could generate previews for these RAWs in the macOS Finder. Right now they just appear with the Affinity Photo logo: You might not need to use the Serif RAW engine to generate the previews – I think the RAW files have an embedded preview JPG. Either way, Serif's RAW engine often adds camera support well before macOS, so this would be a useful feature for anyone who buys a new camera. (I think the Quick Look APIs are the relevant Apple developer docs.) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The various Mac Ones I have run while using Affinity Photo have all shown thumbnails of the .afphoto (and .afdesign and .afpub) files. I have heard of problems with using various Cloud services and there may be a problem with some Networked hard drives too. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creature Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yep – .afphoto and related files all show thumbnails, as they're Affinity files. This request is specifically for RAW files. macOS can preview some of them natively, but not all – if Affinity could "fill in the gaps", like these, that'd be excellent.
