UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred ย after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. ย Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Hi,
ย
It seems that there is an issue with the beta 3 and Sony Raw files.
Launching APP this message pops up : "We are unable to load the LibRaw library for raw support for Sony ARW files".
And yes, APP is unable to see any Sony ARW files, so they cannot be loaded.

No problem with Sony A7III nor A7R4 for me on win10.

@dav78 Which Sony camera do you have? These are the Sony cameras that have been tested:
https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/camerasupport/sony-arw-tested-camera-models/
Is your camera in that list?
Ok, so itโs maybe an issue with MacOS.
I use an Imac with MacOS big sure.
there was no problem with APP previous versions.

My cameras are well supported : nex3-n, A7s and A7III

I don't see the A7s and the A7III in the list of tested cameras. Can you upload raw files of those cameras as requested in the link I posted so we can test them? Thanks!
@wvreeven, they are 😉, ILCE-7S and ILCE-7III are A7s and A7III.
I cannot send any file for now, iโll do later today if it can help.
The issue seems to be part of the libraw library that cannot be loaded when APP starts.
@dav78 Thanks for the clarification. I am discussing the issue with Mabula and indeed it is the lack of LibRaw in the macOS version if APP 1.083-beta3. It works on High Sierra but unfortunately not on Big Sur. Mabula will create a 1.083-beta4 version with a working LibRaw for all macOS versions.

Great! Thank you all the APP team for the support and your work!

@dav78 David, I tested on macOS Monterey (12.1) and there APP 1.083-beta3 works fine when trying to load CR2 files (for which APP also uses libraw). Is there any chance you can upgrade to Monterey? If not, is there any indication that libraw cannot be loaded in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy?
I don't want to upgrade my OS for now 😉 .
I don't see any restriction in security & privacy, but maybe you can tell me where to look exactly.
Here are the pop up message when APP starts, and a screen shot of the open file window (it's possible to open canon or Nikon files, but not Sony's).
With APP previous versions I had no issue with libraw library.

I have deleted and installed again APP, same issue.
So I think I'll have to upgrade my OS. Have to check before if everything will be ok with, especially my windows partition.
For now I'll go with a previous stable version of APP.

Mabula will at least compile a few different beta versions for Mac users with different systems, maybe that helps you in this case as well. Stay tuned.

Happy new year, health and clear sky !
I've tried beta4, but it still can't open Sony Raw files with macOS Big Sur.
With 1.082 it works.
Hi Dav78,
Please try this new MacOS version 1.083-beta4.2 , it should have fixed the issue:
Mabula
Hi Mabula,
Happy new year !
Thank you for this fixed beta4.
I can again open every Sony Raw files I have.
And all the improvements seem to work, that's a great work.
Just one thing I noticed, but I have to make further tests to be sure, the exported picture color doesn't seem to match what I can see in APP's screen (that was the case in old APP versions, the tiff or jpeg exported picture has less saturated color).
ย
David
Hi David @dav78,
Excelellent ! Thank you for your feedback ๐
I will check the color saturation ๐ I am assuming that you save with an ICC color Profile, right? Have you verified that the other image viewer (like Photoshop) is actually showing the image with that profile applied? By default, Photoshop is not doing that (which is beyond me).
