tonyt Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hi Is Affinity Photo ready for Ventura and will it be native or Rosetta? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Affinity is native since day 1 of M1 based Macs. I can’t imagine any reason why this could be removed in future OS versions.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted September 25, 2022 Staff Share Posted September 25, 2022 There are some reported problems (on these forums) from customers using Affinity Software on the Ventura betas. We are hoping that the release macOS Ventura will not demonstrate these problems, but that is not clear yet. As it stands we cannot wholeheartedly recommend using Affinity 1.10.5 Software on the current Ventura beta without issues that do not occur in earlier macOS releases. I suggest that you wait until the official release and check again then.

nickbatz Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Any update on this now that it's being released on Monday? I tend to wait until the dust has not just settled but been swept up, however Ventura has an updated Metal 3 - whatever that means - and it would be good to know the whole story.

I would wait at least until the new year before installing it. Apple has a history of releasing bug filled Mac OSes. The updated Metal 3 may not make any difference to you and your machine while some unseen bug may seriously impact you and the type of work you do. Let others do the testing and finding of the bugs. Remember that this is the Operating System so everything will be affected.

wornish Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Have updated my M1 Mac to Ventura.Affinity Photo partially works but has problems with raw files from my OM-1 camera. It simply can't open them. It works with dngs or tiffs or jpgs. Guess I will have to wait for a fix. Feel a bit let down tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 27, 2022 Staff Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hello @wornish, Welcome to affinity Forums Did Affinity Photo opened those RAW files before the Ventura update? If so, do you mind attaching one OM-1 raw file for us to take a look please? Have you tried to switch the RAW engine from the Serif Labs to Apple (Core Image RAW) in the Assistant in Develop Persona? You will have to load the RAW file again for the new setting take effect.

I'd say 2-3 months plus review your currently installed software, update or delete as needed and check the support pages of your must haves to see if they are compatible.

That was only a minor issue through most of last decade (until Catalina broke all 32-bit programs), but it is again. Maybe that's because of the transition to Apple Silicon.
