So until such time as I might be able to use AP for RAW conversion, I will probably convert my RAW files in Iridient X Transformer to DNG & then import them into AP.
On another topic in this forum, I received a notice from one of the Affinity Photo forum moderators that my Fuji X-T3 is not a supported camera on either Affinity Photo 1.6.7 or Apple Core RAW yet, but that the earlier X-Trans sensor cameras are supported for RAW conversion. I think both Iridient X & Affinity Photo do a better job overall than LR, but that is just my opinion. And overall I tend to agree with what Thomas Fitzgerald had to say about the differences between LR, Iridient X & Affinity Photo when it comes to how well these RAF files are converted. So I will continue to work with it to see how it manages these Fuji X files. But after closing Photo down, restarting the computer I was able to get it to open RAF images in the Develop function.
It hung up converting a number of my RAF images, but had no problems opening them if I first converted them to a DNG file in either LR or Iridient X Transformer (which I just started to use because it could convert the RAF files when LR couldn't). But I recently bought one of the new Fuji X-T3 cameras & have had intermittent problems opening the RAW files from this system in Affinity Photo. It hasn't been a complete success doing this so now I use both LR & Photoshop, with occasional use of Affinity Photo for some easier to use editing functions.
#Iridient x transformer wormy software
Coming from Aperture I initially tried to make Affinity Photo my primary editing software but using Lightroom for DAM needs. I've been a Fuji X user since it first came out & also was one of the Beta testers for Affinity Photo when it was first introduced.
