That doesn't mean Affinity is a bad program though. So although they only recently added "RAW" to the product name, they have a lot of experience with RAW developing and conversions. In fact On1 has always been able to work directly with RAW files, at least since On1 Photo Suite 8. And BTW, I read that Affinity can cause significant artifacts when making local and general adjustments, so can someone tell me if it's true? I mean, i'm not quite sure if it'd be a deal breaker or not. In PSE you can reload a raw file and all your previous work was saved.Īpart from that Affinity will do an OK raw conversion job but not great. That's bad and I know of only one other (free) converter that does the same. That means you can't go back and make a tweak or change without starting from scratch and doing all the work over. All the work you do in the raw development component of Affinity is discarded as soon as you click Develop and do the conversion. The biggest problem with Affinity's raw processing is it's forced destructive. You're better off with raw processing in PSE then. I think it'd be nice to be able to have great RAW processing in Affinity, and I might've said this before, but I've got Photoshop Elements 15 which has great RAW processing but with stuff like focus stacking and HDR, do I really need the RAW processor in Affinity at all? Ah, I found Affinity for merely $19.99, albeit for iPad.
