BRX Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Drag and dropping a CR2 into Affinity throws an exception. This is reproducable. Trying to load a CR2 in any possible way throws an exception. This is reproducible. I can not load any file, be it CR2, JPG, BMP... It throws an exception regardless of the way i do it. Affinity also throws an exception when i create an empty project. I already checked my video card driver, it seems to be up to date. The beta worked up until now.

Gasman Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Thanks for this release guys, running faster now. I see `auto lens correction` listed but I can only find a manual correction in Develop. Is Affinity able to read the exif data and auto correct for lens profiles or does it rely on doing a manual correction and saving that as a preset please?. cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
