Tony B Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I have just purchased a Canon EOS RP and have set the preferences to Raw and jpeg. Affinity will open the jpeg files but not the Canon RAW (CR3) files.. Any advice, please? Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAW support is provided by LibRaw, which can't yet handle CR3. There's a new release due out in a few weeks and there are mutterings that this will be the one to finaly support it.

IanSG Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I've just had a look at LibRaw's News page - " CR3 support is expected in next public snapshot this Fall". I've no idea how long it takes to include a new snaphot, and "expected" sounds a note of caution, but at least things are moving in the right direction.

Eddie Anderson Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Good to know that support for CR3 files is on its way. I absolutely love Affinity Photo. At the moment, it's no big deal to open the CR3 files in Canon's own Digital Photo Professional programme, where white balance etc. can be adjusted before opening as a JPG in Affinity. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 FYI, beta 1.8.0.486 on Windows, released today, says it has CR3 support.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2019 As we are claiming CR3 support in the release notes, then if your files do not load into the 1.8.0 APh Windows beta please make a new post in that beta forum Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2019 Ok the entry in the changelist means something else to what I thought. It means specifically that the CR3 file extension has been added into the load and save dialogs on Windows. The flavour of the CR3 is determined by the libraw implementation (currently 0.19.5 in the 1.8.0 beta) Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
