Rovi Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I can process RAW files from Canon 760D and 77D, but cannot see thumbnails or previews. Raw files from older Canons are OK. Is there something that I can do or is this something to just wait for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP uses the OS' native file manager to preview images - I'm guessing you don't have codecs for the newer file formats. Assuming you're on Windows, have a look at the FastPictureViewer codec pack.

Rovi Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 The FastPictureViewer codec pack has done the trick. I can now see thumbnails of all files in Windows and Affinity, just what I needed. Many thanks for all the prompt and good advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliep Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I haven't yet bought Affinity as my Canon 77D hasn't been added to the list of cameras for Windows. Also want to use my Sigma 18-300mm lens. I had thought it took a while for new gear to be added to the Windows version & I'd have to wait a while? Will the codec above solve the problem for the camera? What about the lens? Thanks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The codec doesn't have anything to do with the lens but I suppose you can make manual corrections if you need to - I never bother.

juliep Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Thanks Ian. Maybe I should at least try the free trial then :-). Is there anyone one can contact at Affinity to find out when the camera & lens will be added to their supported gear? Thanks, Julie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSG Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 AP uses the Lensfun database - I've no idea how / how often that's updated. So far as I can see, AP handles 77D .CR2 files without any problems - "not supported" doesn't mean "doesn't work", it just means we don't formally know that it does work. Posting this as a new question might get you a more definitive answer. Downloading the free trial is a good idea, but don't start it until you know you've got 10 days free to actually try it out Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliep Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks Ian. Yes, think I will create a new thread so that the appropriate person sees it. Have looked at a few tutorials & so far it seems good. Guess it's a strange camera in that it's not a new version of long running series but for the light weight & size, it won me over! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
