I keep reading about it in various posts in the forums here. What is it about it that you like? (Besides the amazingly awesome price.) What makes it great for 3D stuff? Just curious. Thank you for the info! Best, AJ

Full 32 bpc support maybe ? I haven’t tried with multi-layered EXRs yet though (we use PSDManager anyway).

Why wouldn’t you use Affinity if you use PSD manager? And indeed 32bit support is way better. You can just keep working in 32bit, no need to go to 16 bit or lower, even for saving a jpg.

Yes, we seriously think about throwing Adobe CC in 2017, to get Affinity Photo and Designer instead. However, we’d need a replacement for AfterEffects - we use it from time to time. I’d rather use Natron or Fusion, but I guess it’s not really suitable for our needs. There are a few things to test, w…

I’ve tested Affinity Photo for a while and bought it recently (along with designer, just to support those guys) but I still haven’t used it for a job. I tried it on a current project, but found that I had much better results with Photoshop Camera Raw to recover highlights. The Develop Persona contro…

That would be weird because Camera Raw doesn’t work in 32bit?

[image] The Future That was a question, right ? :slight_smile: Sort of :), does it? Because I’ve never seen anyone succesfully use it in 32bit actually.

Thanks all for the insights. I have seen how passes come in in Affinity and maybe that’s one of the draws as well. Being able to expose and tone map them without going to 16 bit seems powerful. I’ve managed to save out .EXR’s as 32-bit TIF’s and use lightroom to color correct them, but the output…

Yes, 32Float is nice but cannot be applied as a smart filter so not ideal for non-desructive workflow. I asked the editor about this feature a while back but never got an answer. As for camera raw, yes : although it works in 32 bit internally, the generated output is 16 bit, which, frankly for arch…

Yeah the lack of smart filtering was a downer. I really need to learn fusion at some point. I used Nuke a few times and I love it but I can’t justify the price unless I win the lottery or find a pot of gold under a rainbow.
