Affinity Photo 1.7 questions

[CarrotMan]

I have a few questions about the new 1.7 AP release:

1) If I update from my version 1.6 (not sure of the rest of the version number, I’m not on my laptop), can I still keep the last 1.7 beta on the same laptop (Windows 10), just in case I hit a snag with the updated version?

2) Will the improvements which have been implemented in the Mac version of 1.7 be available to me as a free upgrade when completed for the Windows version?

3) When (if?) the DXO Nik plugin issues eventually get sorted, will this be in a free update or is it likely to be in a future paid upgrade?

 

Thanks

Hi Carrot Man,

Welcome to the forums

1. Unfortunately you can't keep the old beta as it will have expired as its been patched into the live version.

2. I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you mean by this question 1.7 launched for Mac and Windows at the same time.

3. This is in DXO's hands to fix so I don't really have any information to give you I'm afraid.

Thanks

Callum

Thank you Callum. I’ve now downloaded the update and it seems to be working fine.

Re what I wrote about the Mac and Windows differences, I got this from a recent (5 June) review on ephotozine, which seems to be suggesting that some speed improvements made to the Mac version have not yet been implemented in the Windows version.

I appreciate that the Nik problems require work from DxO. It would be great if they could sort it, but maybe they aren’t too keen to do so.
