mapline Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hi Like Affinity in JPEG but loading times in raw are sooooooo slow. Just changed from Canon to Fuji. Canon raw was slow but Fuji raf takes 44 sec to load!!!!!. Compared to Silky Raw Converter 2 loads the same raw file in 4 secs? Is this likely to improved in Affinity or should I used Silky for Raw and the Affinity for Jpeg?

mapline Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Thanks AiDon will do. However this compares the loading times of the file in both programmes, First with Affinity then loaded Silky and loaded file. If anything Silky was at a disadvantage as Affinity was still in memory. One thought I am using a X-T20 so the file size is 22.8mb (Fuji compressed) is that much larger compared to X100T?

AiDon Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 It may be that SilkyPix doesn't generate Previews until changes have been made as even in my case with RAW File Converter EX 2 they load almost instantaneously. The X100T doesn't have an option for lossless compressed RAW so the images are 32MB+ Both PC’s Win 11 x64 System with Intuos Pen & Touch PC1 ASUS ROG Strix - AMD Ryzen 9 6900X CPU @ 3.3GHz. 32GB RAM- GPU 1: AMD Radeon integrated.

mapline Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Yes thats true and my system is a slow i5. Still would like to see loading times improved as has been done with Jpeg.

Johann Kott Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I also have the problem. The opening of an NEF file (about 24MB) also takes about 45 seconds. I have already noticed more often on this problem in this forum. There are comments from others how fast they can open the RAW files. I work with Capture one 10 pro and also with Adobe Lghtroom and there the files are opened in seconds. No beta version of Photo Affinity has solved this problem so far. I do not understand this strategy when it comes to the software requirements. Is it an unsolved problem for Windoes 10? This software would be very interesting for Windows 10 users.

Mplay Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Same here (Fuji). Affinity is much slower than other apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Kott Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hello, The situation with long opening times of NEF files (Windows 10) does not get any better. No BETA version of Photo Affinity solved the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
