gpzt Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Hello ! I have been told that "develop persona" cannot be considered a fully non destructive Raw treatment. If so, would it be wiser to start "develop persona" with a copy of the raw file ? Best regards, Gpzt. Quote
David Quail Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 If you save your RAW edits, it will save them to a .afphoto file. The original RAW in unaffected. gpzt 1 Quote Asus ROG Strix G713 Notebook: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H 3.80 GHz with Radeon Vega Graphics | 32GB DDR4 3200mHz RAM Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB Gfx | 2x 2TB SSD NVMe PCIe M.2 3x4 | Windows 11 Version 23H2 Build 22623.870
gpzt Posted March 3, 2017 Author Posted March 3, 2017 Thank you Dave for this fast and unequivocal answer. That' s what I figured but I needed some reassurance. I purchased AP in January and believe me, the learning curve is quite steep with all those (excellent) tutorials in english for a newbie whose native tongue is french ! Best regards, gpzt. Quote
Keith Reeder Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 All Raw converters behave the same way, in that they do not affect the Raw file - in all cases a new image file is generated from the Raw original, containing any adjustments you've made at the "Develop" stage. gpzt 1 Quote Keith Reeder
dvoth Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 The Affinity Photo roadmap mentions "Non destructive Develop Layer" so it looks like there will be more non-destructive options in the future. gpzt 1 Quote David Voth Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher ver. 2: macOS Sequoia and iPadOS 18
