If only I could get the update recognised :-(
My post to serif forum, where I explain that my Mac says everything is up to date on 1.6.6, even though the App Store says that 1.6.7 is available.
Is there an official Serif help email address?
I know I could probably uninstall and re-install, but I would like an official Serif comment on the problem.

Good morning Graham
if you Apple ID is current and active that it.
I have both — machines on El Capitan and HS — and the
update went through with ease.
Just open the App Store app and it will detect the update
if you Apple ID is current and active that it.

Yes, of course this is what normally happens, but ID is current and active (and I have logged out and back in again to the app store), APP Store says 1.6.7 is available, but I only have an "Open " option, which opens 1.6.6.
Checking for updates says I am up to date, and looking at the purchased apps again only allows opening 1.6.6.

I have the habit to include the version in the app name: "Affinity Photo 1.6.6.app".
After the update, another instance of Affinity Photo.app will be next to it that I will
rename "Affinity Photo 1.6.7.app" and delete the previous version.

I'm not entirely sure how this helps. But then I'm not sure how the App Store works. I guess it has to keep track of the installed apps locally somehow, for if you delete an app it knows its no longer on your HD, and you can reinstall.
But I'm still not sure how changing the app name will help me :-(

So presumably there is an error somewhere in how the App Store and the license file are communicating, as the App Store seems to think 1.6.7 is installed, OR the bit of the App Store that checks for updates thinks 1.6.6 is the current version, even though the front end says its 1.6.7.
Maybe, if I am the only one having this problem, I have a corrupt license file.

Its all 1.6.6, but solution now found.
I shut the Mac down and rebooted.
I had logged out and back into the APP store and restarted the Mac, but not fully shut it down.
I found three updates waiting after I did this. (i.e. fully shutting it down)
Thanks for your help.

The only one that has the right quality for me in that
regard is CO, Power is not everything… sure, it is
more powerful than CO's but not so controllable… to
be handled with care. A proper tweak must have the
refinements you need.

the AP along with Apple photos adjustments gave a weird sort of look if pushed past a certain amount,LR doesn't cause the photo to take on this sort of camouflage look is best how I can describe it

I am disconnected from the multitude of solutions
as I found the hat that fits me best… but if some-
thing is better I will change… of course.
I don't have enough free time nor the motivation to
study and compare all the alternatives.

Shadow Highlight is a contradiction.
Do you mean "is the shadows AND highlight recovery much improved?"
I don't use Affinity as a raw developer, I much prefer Lightroom, which has one of the best highlight recovery algorithms I have found.
After developing in LR I then use Affinity if there is anything I cannot do in Lightroom.

yes it was a quick type missing the and.I use LR but the HL and S rec was always a weakness with AP and as they say they have improved it rather than me downloading AP and installing I would welcome feedback from current users.
If it is positive I may well DL it to compare with LR but as you say I doubt even with an improvement they are anywhere near LR quality
