Kodi, What type of file do you input to affinity from C1?
was wondering if you used jpeg or tiff
In my book, today's softwares quality hardly justify the
use of TIFFs that is still recommendable in photocom-
position where the four layers in CMYK might be requi-
red. TIFFs will soon be obsolete because of progress.
jpg remains
I did something different to Kodiak, so as an alternative approach:Kodi

I agree with what you are saying about lossy jpeg, but whilst I try to keep to 16-bit TIFF as long as possible, I think this "opening and re-saving jpeg" thing is a bit overstated, and something that very few people do anyway.Regardless of "progress" jpg remains a lossy compression format which means that every time you open, edit and save the image the quality gets progressively worse. TIF is a lossless compression format so you can open and save as many times as you like and you will never loose image quality.
…and something that very few people do anyway.
when you say open, you dont mean open to view it do you?I agree with what you are saying about lossy jpeg, but whilst I try to keep to 16-bit TIFF as long as possible, I think this "opening and re-saving jpeg" thing is a bit overstated, and something that very few people do anyway.
OK, if your camera is jpeg only, then it may be necessary, but have you ever tried opening and re-saving a good quality jpeg ten times and compared the quality?
There's much less loss than you might expect.
No. I meant open to edit.when you say open, you dont mean open to view it do you?
Does anyone know if there ever any special offers on AffinityPhoto? I know it's very affordable but I'm in no rush so I can wait a few months.
I've looked at the current free software offer but it doesn't interest me,.
They do have offers from time to time so if you can hold out till thenPC unfortunately........
I'd prefer manual lens adjustments, since I like to have some control over what's going on.I wish they did auto lens corrections,
Do you mean with Affinity Photo?I wish they did auto lens corrections,
Seems pretty obvious to me, except I don't use Affinity as a raw developer, I prefer the results from Lightroom, which also has a full library of automatic or manual lens adjustemnts.Do you mean with Affinity Photo?
It does do auto lens correction using the lensfun database http://lensfun.sourceforge.net/
And there is video on it hereView: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1zikHzMQ1Q
Or have I misunderstood :-(

I've not used AP for Raw processing either, but in my case the Raw is processed in Capture One.
thanks for that, i might start using affinity again then, cheersSeems pretty obvious to me, except I don't use Affinity as a raw developer, I prefer the results from Lightroom, which also has a full library of automatic or manual lens adjustemnts.
… thinking of stopping Lightroom…
if you dont do a lot of PP then why not use AFP. and Apple photo for your organiser, you can take the raw directly into Apple photo then edit with AFP from within apple Photos. at least I do anyway butI am thinking of stopping Lightroom as fed up paying it subscription and not using it as much as I like..
Thinking of getting this just a shame we can't organise the images without his editor..
Me and the wife have Adobe CC on a monthly payment, but don't use it anywhere near enough to buy again when our plan ends, so thinking of the switch as its a one off payment, does Affinity update to the latest when there is an update or do you have to pay again.
How do I get Lightroom to find Affinity?
No, that's the thing.
