Very large file size starting with RAW files

coulthst replied to coulthst's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

thanks for the suggestions James. Tried them both, then saved, file size was the same - 217 Mb. Then I did Save As, and it changed to 270 Mb. I also reopened the RAW file for the photo, did nothing to it, just Developed and Saved, and got 197 Mb. Then converted to 8 bit and got the same file size. There is no snapshot as part of this file.
Very large file size starting with RAW files

In Affinity Photo, when I open a RAW file, make some basic edits like cropping and adjusting shadows & highlights, then Develop and save, the afphoto file sizes are over 200 Mb. When I do the same starting with the matching JPG, the afphoto files sizes are 5 or 6 Mb! I purchased AF so I could edit RAW files, but the huge file sizes are very annoying. Is there a way to avoid them?
