![]() More recently I find comments by Topaz: "Serif's Affinity Photo editor is ONLY supported in Topaz Studio & In Studio products (Clarity in Studio, Detail in Studio, Impression in Studio, etc.). I find on the web ca 2017 discussions for using NIC as a plug in. ![]() Looking to the future, for PS functionality, I am hoping that AP might be one of the answers.Īs a first question, since you know all the interesting Photoshop/LR plugins from Topaz, Luminar, etc, could you list what plug-ins you have found to work with AP? I fully expect them to continue to screw photographers. Essentially, I have no trust in Adobe and their stock options hungry executives. I use most of the bells and whistles of Photoshop CC, so I have a crack problem there that I worry about a lot. I have toyed with Affinity Photo, but not really dug in. Pricing dramatically favors all the Affinity products!!! I have used Affinity Designer for a book project and I have been very impressed with Designer's fit and finish, especially vs Adobe's product. It would be wonderful if you could discuss your usage patterns and approach with Affinity Photo. They also have an open attitude to Customer Beta versions of the upcoming release version, anyone with a license can also activate the Beta version and try out the new stuff, and provide feedback until they release it as a formal version update. Their forums are also a good source of information, and they have a huge number of excellent short video tutorials. Affinity Photo (AP) deserves more attention than it's getting on LuLa.īesides, there may be other folks who know a bit about AP, or use an alternative approach to address certain challenges. No problem (if time permits), but let's do it in a publicly accessible thread so that others can benefit from the exchange and I do not have to repeat my reactions in PMs from different people. With newer hardware, it becomes only more likely that things keep running, only faster. I think that the demo will run as expected, but there is only one way of making sure.

I have the app but there are a few things I cannot get around so I'll have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind. I believe we have that in common.ĮDIT: I'll be in touch sometime soon re Affinity Photo. They also advised to download the demo version just to make sure the plugin will work in PS-CS6, my preferred version. I am planning to upgrade the GPU soon so that should mitigate the speed "issue" I believe. It did mention that the app wouldn't use the somewhat ancient GPU in my MacPro 2012, but it would work with the CPU quite well, albeit perhaps a bit slow. I received a very inclusive reply that boiled down to their opinion that it should work very well. I sent an inquiry to their "Support" department with all of the information they would need to let me know if the app would work properly on my setup. In my exploration of their site I read a bit about creating ISO Profiles, so that is something I'll do once I have the app installed and running as expected. ![]() ![]() It does have a huge number of adjustments you can use to set up depending on the results you want.Īnd of course the size of your images does make a difference in processing times. I actually use it inside a VM with 6 cores set and it runs quite fast there but years ago on a slower machine I would simply set it running overnight. It can also use all the CPU cores you have on your machine if you let it - there is a provision in the options menu to set the number of cores used. The one good thing about Neat Image is the capability to batch process hundreds of images in one go. I can usually get a quality rating for my profiles of 98 upwards which gives the best results. The main thing you must do with it is prepare correct profiles for every ISO on the cameras you are using. I use the standalone version and there is no need to upgrade your GPU. I've used this software for many years and, until JPEG to RAW came along was my #1 choice for NR.īut now, since Topaz seem to have totally destroyed that program, Neat Image will be used again.
