aggir

Here under the RAW file with 100% on the Detail tab of Develop persona + 100% on clarity tab in Photo persona . Cannot do more. The blur is much more important after develop persona. It is crazy to use RAW to have a better image, to use a sharp lens and have a worse result at the end. I just spent two weeks tinkering, because a bug was affecting the last release of Develop persona, with a very slow answer of the technical service. This new problem is really concerning about the quality of Affinity staff.

Whatever the settings in Develop persona or Photo persona, the result is blurrier than the Jpeg coming out from the camera. This is my concern. We are supposed to use RAW to get better results than Jpeg, not worse.

Thank you for your answer I applied a clarity % of 65% and did not touch the other values, not to blur the result, so, obviously the colour and exposition are to be corrected.. Attached the original raw file. P1096965.RW2

When you compare the jpeg coming out my Lumix G9 and the same photo , RAW version developped by Photo Persona, you can see a big loss in details (RAW developped is the darker one, Jpeg is the lighter). It is a non sense because the original size of the RAW was 3X the Jpeg size. Does anybody has an explanation?

It is a serious problem when you spend time to improve a photo and that you get worse !!!

I have a similar problem. First, the image displayed is much too dark. I found on this forum how to solve that: minimizing the program screen, then maximise it again. It seemed rather hand made, but it works. But, the final result is different of the photo displayed, so all the work done gives nothing but rubbish as you can see on the attached photos.

Thanks Anon2, I tried to minimize and resize, and it works. Anyway, this is not a fair process!! and does not make me confident in the accuracy of the program.

When I import a RAW image (RW2 = Lumix raw), the image shown by Affinity is much darker than the Jpeg one (see screen captures 27 and 28 hereunder). After adjusting the exposure slider, i get the nr 29 capture, but, after devlopment the result is lighter (capture 30). This happens on the last Affinity release and was not so on the previous versions. As it is, the RAW development program is unsable.

I meet the same problem: the noise reduced on the development page appears again after development

Thank you for your answer Ok I understand, excuse the newbie

Following the tutorial "Blend modes" the tuto opens "layers" in the right column, and several choices appear : lighting,specular, refraction, reflection..... On my program I do not get any choice, only the pixel layer How can I reach the layers choice as in the tuto? Thanks for helping
