B444 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 This is my first time on any forum. I have a Mac and a nikon D850. Does Affinity support this in Raw and if so does this work well? Is there a listing of supported cameras? What is the best tool to manage workflow? Thank you very much. Ps. For future reference, what is the best way to search the site so I don’t ask redundant questions? B Quote
Staff MEB Posted January 23, 2019 Staff Posted January 23, 2019 Hi B444, Welcome to Affinity Forums Affinity Photo 1.6x doesn't officially support the Nikon 850 when using our RAW engine (Serif Labs) but you can switch to Apple (Core Image RAW) which does support it if you are running macOS High Sierra or above. Affinity Photo 1.7 Beta does support it using both Serif Labs and Apple (Core Image RAW) engines. Here's the link to the official lists: Supported Raw Cameras (1.6.x) SerifLabs Supported Raw Cameras (1.7.x) & Lens Correction list In case you are interested you can download Affinity Photo Beta from there links: Affinity Photo Customer Beta (1.7.0.106) for Mac Affinity Photo Windows Customer Beta - 1.7.0.209 for Windows Note: to switch between RAW engines, open a RAW image, go to menu View ▸ Assistant Manager... and use the first dropdown to change them. You will need to reload the RAW file again to use the newly selected engine. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
B444 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 MEB, Thank you. If I purchase current version will it update to 1.7 when released? Lightroom perpetual 6.0 doesn’t support so trying to determine best alternative. Affinity doesn’t have Lightroom workflow does it? If I purchase can I use LR for Cate loving and AF for editing or is there a better way? Thank you again. b Quote
Staff MEB Posted January 23, 2019 Staff Posted January 23, 2019 Hi B444 Yes, all minor updates are free until version 2.0 which is a paid upgrade (we are still far away from reaching v2 though). Regarding your second question: no, Affinity is strictly a RAW developer/converter and photo editor. It doesn't possess any DAM (digital assets management) capabilities as Lightroom so no, you will not be able to manage libraries, apply adjustments to several photos from the same photoshoot at once or even save them as independent .xmp sidecar files (just to mention a few cases) with it. You can however set up Lightroom to use Affinity Photo as an external editor/app. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software

Use the search box at the top right of the forum screen. In your case I would enter "Raw Camera Support" then click on the magnifying glass. By default, the search engine looks for any of the words entered. In the search results, you are asked if you wanted the exact phrase or all the words. In this case try the exact phrase first, then all the words. John Quote Windows 11, Affinity Photo 2.4.2 Designer 2.4.2 and Publisher 2.4.2 (mainly Photo). CPU: Intel Core i5 8500 @ 3.00GHz.

Pšenda Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Or try Google search: "Raw Camera Support site:forum.affinity.serif.com". Search relevance is significantly higher. For example, link to official list of cameras is at the forefront.

m.n Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Hi, I am using affinity photo 1.8.3 on iPad 10.5 and I bought a new Olympus EM1 MARK III. When I try to add a raw image, ı got an error.

Old cam was E-m10 Mark 3 On the iPad Affinity depends on Apple's RAW development support within the OS, so if Apple doesn't support the camera then Affinity won't, either.
