JoJu, CS6 does'n't support D500 RAWs so I have to convert to Adobe DNG, so I know what you mean, a pain in the veritable!

 

Too true. 

 

are you still using Capture One to manage photos while using Affinity photo for edits? I'm still using Aperture and wondering what to change to. Affinity photo looks to have some some really nice editing tools at a good price.

I never used C1 to manage files - after years with Aperture I just realized how far advanced it was at it's time and in terms of stability and usability still is.

 

At the moment, the dumb iPhone "developer" kids in Cupertino are not able to deliver RAW support for X-T2 at all. Not to speak of compressed RAW. So, I have to use C1 for developing Fuji X-T2 RAWs, it's awkward workflow and sh*tty UI I somehow survive. I do JPG and RAW and try to synchronize them, because loading 1500 50 MB RAWs into C1 is something I don't dare to think about. But I have to admit, if it comes to bring back highlights and shadows to shine, it does a gorgeous job. Without saving a TIF, DNG or PSD first. Affinity is depending on Apple's RAW-converter, I'm afraid.

 

Sorry to hijack the X-Mas thread for this rant, I'm really frustrated how excellent hardware gets more and more determined by the availability of good software.
