Staff Patrick Connor Posted April 22, 2024 Staff Posted April 22, 2024 In another attempt to fix the artefacts that can appear on Windows when developing RAW files in 2.4.x (with hardware enabled), we have changed the RAW processing pipeline. Please can you report in this thread any problems you continue to see with RAW processing when using the 2.5.0 beta builds. I will be asking users from some of these threads to come here and test the beta builds and post here (rather than their original 2.4.x thread) Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Gerarbara Posted April 22, 2024 Posted April 22, 2024 As you requested, I have opened a number of RAW files from both my Sony A6700 and A7RIV and there are no artefacts in any of them. Whatever you have done, has appeared to fix it for me. Thank you. Gerard Hopkinson Patrick Connor 1 Quote
Staff Patrick Connor Posted April 22, 2024 Author Staff Posted April 22, 2024 That's great, can you please confirm that hardware acceleration is ON in the beta Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

AR44 Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 No artifacts at all with hardware acceleration turned on! It looks like the issue has been resolved. Beta 2.5.0.2402 is running smoothly. Thank you! Patrick Connor 1 Quote
Gerarbara Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 I confirm that hardware acceleration is ON and working smoothly. Gerarbara Patrick Connor 1 Quote
PetervL Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 Working fine for me too, HA is on Patrick Connor 1 Quote
JimInFlorida Posted April 24, 2024 Posted April 24, 2024 My Nikon NEF file opens with no issues. It takes about 10 seconds to open the first file. Subsequent files open in about 2 seconds. HA is turned on. Patrick Connor 1 Quote
MadMaxie Posted April 25, 2024 Posted April 25, 2024 Artifacts with 2.5 have gone! But when I bring in a RAW pic I get a "Black box" on the pic for about 5sec then disappears. If I turn OFF Open CL all works fine, maybe a touch slower but not a problem for me. As a point of interest, my issue (Black box)has been happening way back in "AF1". which I reported then but to no avail. I think my GPU (Nvidia GeForce GTX1650Ti) and Open CL don't like each other!!.

Teddd Posted April 27, 2024 Posted April 27, 2024 This version worked with 5 of my NEF files (hardware acceleration confirmed ON). Great result. Thanks Patrick Connor 1 Quote
Ken365 Posted April 27, 2024 Posted April 27, 2024 Hi, I've just downloaded and installed the latest beta, it appears to have resolved the artefacts issue (hardware acceleration on and reverted to 16Bit). I'll keep playing and let you know if anything else weird happens. thanks again for your efforts Patrick Connor 1 Quote
