captainkimchi Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hi, What is the best way to open up multiple photos in Affinity Photo? At the moment I just File -> Open and then select the .RAW files I want import. The problem is though, it takes FOREVER and often makes AP crash or my whole system chug along until I get so annoyed that I hit the reset button. I wouldn't say my PC is under powered, it just seems to have real problems with Affinity Photo. I've tried loading in photos in more manageable chunks (50 files) but the same thing still happens. It's ridiculous, nothing loads. Is AP not designed to handle multiple imports at once or am I doing something wrong? All's I want to do is load in my shoots to go through to quick edit or spend some more time on the really good shots. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. If it makes any difference, here are my system specs: Operating SystemWindows 10 Pro 64-bitCPUIntel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz 42 °CBloomfield 45nm TechnologyRAM12.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 534MHz (8-8-8-20)MotherboardASUSTeK Computer INC.

Staff MEB Posted May 27, 2018 Staff Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hi captainkimchi, Welcome to Affinity Forums That's way to much images to open at once. Affinity Photo is not DAM (digital assets management app) with a RAW converter/developer integrated. It's not supposed to work on all photos from a photoshoot simultaneously and apply the same setting to a bunch of images at once. It's more comparable to Adobe Camera RAW + Photoshop where you typically convert/develop an image (or a couple of images) in Camera RAW and move to Photoshop for further localised processing/editing.

Ok cheers Do you have any tips on how to improve my workflow then? Is it a case of loading in the images I want to edit one at a time?
