RMole Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I am trying Affinity (not yet purchased) does the trial version have limited features? When I try to work on a RAW file I get the correct screen as per the tutorials but only part of the image appears. Am I doing something wrong or wont the trial version allow full RAW file work?

Dan C Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi RMole, Welcome to the forums The Affinity Trial is the full version of the software with a 10 day limiter applied. Could you please confirm the source camera for your RAW images, the OS you're using and provide a screenshot showing the loading issue?

RMole Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi DanC thanks for your reply. I will harvest the information requested and get it to you kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMole Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Dear Dan C Many thanks for your earlier response. Attached (with luck) is the information you asked for The camera is a Fujifilm X-A10 My OS is High Sierra v 10.13.6 Below is a poor screen shot but typical of the issue I have. Across the middle is a line (in this case blue but that is the partial colour of the image) The procedure taken was to open Affinity Open from file (card in card reader port of my MAC) I have found that if I were to import the file to MACs photo and edit via the Affinity link it takes it over but not as a RAW file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMole Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Dear Dan C I fear I may have caused you a waste of time! for when I do the same procedure but using my Pentax K-5II the import of a RAW file works as it should (perhaps my FujiFilm X-A10 is not a supported camera Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try converting the RAF files to DNG with Adobe's converter. Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks for that info, unfortunately the Fujifilm X-A10 isn't compatible with Serif Labs RAW engine, however it is compatible with the Apple Core RAW engine which can be implemented by Affinity. You can switch between RAW Engines by first opening an image then going to menu View > Assistant Manager > Develop Assistant and changing the engine from the drop down. (you have to reload the image again for the new setting take effect). I hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but is there an alternative RAW engine for Windows users?

Staff MEB Posted October 31, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi IanSG, No, Windows 10 doesn't provide one. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
