Can not open Panasonic lumix s5m2 raw file.

@Chris B Guys..... there is something wrong with your development process. Buying Affinity Photo was a waste of money!

There are various workarounds for the S5 ii.  Silkypix or Adobe RAW converter to get a .tiff or .dng respectively.  They aren't that good though IMHO.

I have found the best fix to be to use DxO PureRAW 3 before opening in Affinity Photo.  DxO already fully supports the S5 ii and all of its lenses.  It does the lens corrections and produces a superb .dng, reducing noise, but improving the image even if none is actually needed.  The sharpening option is really good.  It auto-sends into AP's Develop Persona after processing and I can proceed with post-processing as usual.  

It's a shame the AP team can't keep up with other developers, who seem to be able to update equipment support much more often.

ACDSee's DAM software and Topaz Labs are the same in that they don't support the S5 ii yet either.

I guess you get what you pay for!
