Hello @Dennis585 I am just a regular forum user. From what I know from past releases they don't give a certain date for the next release. We just have to be patient Cheers, d.

Hi Dennis585, Welcome to Affinity Forums No, this camera is not yet supported on Affinity Photo for Windows, only on Mac using the Apple (Core Image RAW) engine on macOS High Sierra. We still have to add support for it on our own RAW engine (Serif Labs). A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted January 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2018 When i said supported on Windows i meant supported by our RAW engine (Serif Labs) in Affinity Photo for Windows. Each of these programs use their own engine to display/process RAW images.

Staff MEB Posted January 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi Dennis585, I don't know for sure. We usually ship/add camera updates with new upgrades so there's a chance it may be supported in Affinity Photo v1.7 but i can't assure you this at this point, sorry.

Heckmann Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hello, I like this Beta. It's a big enhancement. Unfortunatly the selection brush doesn't work at all. In the normal version it's fine. Greetings from Germany! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 31, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hi Heckmann, Welcome to Affinity Forums Make sure you don't have the Mode in the context toolbar set to Subtract. If so set it to Add. Let me know if it still doesn't work. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybit Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Just wanted to drop a quick note, that for my system (Lenovo T430s, i5 2nd gen, 8 GB RAM, nVidia NVS 5200M, SSD) this beta build came with a massive improvement of performance, which is a great relief. lags in font selection are gone export dialogue opens immediately now (was delayed by roughly 2 seconds before) switching between various tools is much swifter Overall, big step forward for me. Thanks guys! PaulAffinity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
