I found Affinity fairly easy to learn and have been extremely pleased with it!
And raw processing (Canon .cr2 and .cr3 files) in my experience works as well as Photoshop.

I have many Carousel slide trays full of old slides I'd like to digitize. I'd really like to find a vendor that accepts them in the trays and puts them into files by tray name. Does anyone do that?
DigMyPics will do that. All the slides we sent in carousels came back in the carousels, and the digitized photos from each carousel were in folders/directories named "Tray1", "Tray2", etc. (A sample image from my slides from DigMyPics is attached, as named by DigMyPics)

http://digmypics.com/ I sent them boxes of old slides (nearly 11,000 slides) and they did a great job, quickly, at a good price. Some were steroscopic slides from the mid-1950s and they handled them as well.

Which RAW?
If you're using .CR3 and can't, you might try upgrading DPP.

I think Affinity Photo is an excellent raster editor and the best bargain raster editor going, BUT keep raw files away from it because:
1. It does not save your work. As soon as you click Develop, Affinity dumps any work you did on the raw file as it moves the processed RGB image into the Photo module. If you wanted to go back and change something you did in Develop you have to start over. That's a destructive raw workflow. Other raw converters save your work.

This is NOT true. I won't point out all the errors in the response, but YOU can save wour work on a RAW file within the develop persona at any point, and go back to that point to re-edit or add changes (or remove changes). This is done Snapshots Panel (Develop Persona only)
"The Snapshots Panel serves the same function as the Snapshots Panel in the main Photo Persona. You can 'save' partly developed raw images, choosing to pick up a saved snapshot at any point while in Develop Persona."

Has anyone had experience with Inpixio Focus Pro?
Can it really improve an out of focus image?
Can it really improve an out of focus image?
I have tried several products from inPixio and so far have not found a single one that I would recommend to a friend, including inPixio Photo Focus.

I know you asked about a book on the 5D Mark IV, but I would also highly recommend the on-line course at creativelive.com - specifically the "Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Fast Start" course. While I'm stuck at home anyway I found this course to be very well presented, organized, and complete. The Course is actually a total of six hours and five minutes, and is well paced so you can do a few "lessons", take a break, play with you camera, then start more lessons the next day. The course is by John Greengo, and has a lot of photography information related to the use of different settings and controls.

IMHO it's far and away the best resizing software available, and well worth the price.
I use it extensively for upsizing photos (generally emailed to my by family members, in various sizes and file formats) and everyone seems very happy with the results (including me). I tend to do some slight noise reduction after upsizing.

Thank you. That was purely photographer error (hurrying on a walk) and not choosing a single focus point. I have learned much since then just from UHH.

For the first time, I was experimenting with enlarging two photos for printing on canvas on the Costco site. The message I get is "too low resolution." Attached are the cropped versions. What am I doing wrong? Is the crop too much and it results in the low resolution?
This is the file increased to a size that would print at 8x10... up to you if the clarity/noise levels are acceptable. (3000x2199

It would be good to hear if other people have a problem with the scroll bar widths and if so is there a solution.
Google "how to adjust the width of the scrollbar in windows 10" - there are several methods aside from the Registry that _might_ help.

In other words RAW is RAW, exactly what the camera really saw based on white balance, ISO and etc? It contains all the data without processing?
Shown below is a section of a raw file (Canon CR2) in hexadecimal and ascii. As has already been explained MANY times, all digital files are the same - (without going in detail that only a computer nerd would care about). Your viewing device "creates" an image from this data, and depending on the camera, the camera setting, or pp software used, the image will vary. But the actual RAW file content does not change (unless you change it.)
PORTION OF RAW FILE:
