HDR Merge crashing my iPad Pro 12.9” M1…

[AffinityMakesMeWonder]

Hi there!

Bought an camera 2019 that has not been much used (Sony RX-100 mark VI), but, yesterday I loaded it and took some bracketing pictures just to test HDR Merge into Affinity Photo 2.10 17.89.

Had a serie of nine pictures to test, but, Photo 2.10 is crashing after the pictures is loaded…

Tested same nine pictures into Affinity Photo 2.04 and that works flawless - the same happened with my Macbook Pro, working fine in 2.10 beta…

Strange thing number two: on both 2.04 (iPad) and Mac 2.10 this HDR merge endresult have a strange vignette in all corners? Is that a bug also? Non of the nine sourcepictures has this vignetts…

See attach endresult and one of the sourcefiles…

Have made more testing now with above problems…

It seems that Photo 2.10 beta 17.89 have problem handling the RAW-files from my Sony RX-100 VI camera…

If I make an Batch Job converting a bunch of this Raw-files (.ARW extension) Photo 2.10 output almost complete dark pictures to JPG-format (100% 15MB)…

The same Batch Job in retail Photo 2.04 output perfect JPG-files…

So, it must be something with Photo 2.10 beta 17.89 that is wrong handling RAW-files from Sony cameras that also crashes in HDR Merge jobs…

Hi AffinityMakesMeSmile,

Please could you make sure any bugs that are affecting the beta version but not the release version are posted in the below beta section? In regards to the vignettes we would likely need to see the entire set of images to determine the cause of this. Please could you upload them to the following DropBox link?
