Is anybody out there using Affinity Photo? I don't see it mentioned on FXF anywhere. I recently bought it, and am slowly learning to use it (great tutorials available from Affinity Photo itself, and many more on YouTube and other sources). It seems to have everything for photographers that Photoshop has, and more!

 

I'll keep on using Photoshop CS6 until Adobe squeezes me out (I refuse to "subscribe" - it seems too much like indentured servitude). By then I'll be up and running with this amazing, full-featured alternative that costs only $50, and which Serif, the parent company, says will NEVER be available by subscription.

I haven't gotten past the trial version of it yet, but definitely plan to buy it once I finish a couple of other projects. It's the best Photoshop work-alike program I've seen.

 

I'm in the same position you are – CS6 not supporting new cameras and eventually it may not run on newer computers. Plus I'm reducing monthly financial commitments, not taking on new ones that will only go up.

I did some RAW developments with the trial recently and think it uses the very very good Apple RAW COdec with lots of adjustments possible. Was very happy with the RAW conversions - up there with RAW Therapee and Aperture and a bit better or at least equal with iridient IMO.

New X-T2 users should be aware that, as far as I can determine, their new camera is NOT YET supported by Affinity. At least not my copy of it. If I am wrong, please let me know. I want to use Affinity with my new camera.

 

 

The most recent Affinity Photo 1.5 Beta 5 (https://affinity.serif.com/forum/index.php?/topic/24993-affinity-photo-customer-beta-15-beta-5/) will open X-Pro-2 and X-T2 raw files, and the developed images look very good. Here is a link to Affinity Photo forum thread of advantages over Photoshop (https://affinity.serif.com/forum/index.php?/topic/16419-advantages-over-photoshop/). FWIW, I am not connected to Affinity Photo, other than having purchased v1.4.

I have v 1.4.2 only. I'm wary of beta software and can wait until v1.5 comes out, hopefully soon.

      Troubleshooting with flash on xpro3

      By Doudzi · Posted

      Hi everyone I have a problem while using my xpro3 and strobes, from a day to an other I started to have a black shade on the side of my ID photos so it's kind of problematic. It's like if the speed is to high except it happened even at 1/30s. And the shutter speed seems accurate with ambiant light so I'm a bit disturbed about all of this.   Anyone has an idea about that case ?

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.
