I have similar question - but regarding applying a gradient to a mask layer. I do not understand why I cannot pick up where I left off - to give the gradient a tweek ... ... Gerry

Hi Hope this helps ...

Please find attached an example - the difference also happens in microsofts photo's - definitely losing something in affinity. Apologies maybe the dng was a red herring. Thanks ... Gerry foraffinity.afphoto

Have just uploaded ... thanks .

Photo's raw engine is doing something very unpleasant to Sony Raw Files. Please find attached a native raw file and the same file after running through adobe's DNG converter. Try to open both in Photo. The Sony native raw file as when presented for view and after developing is awful - lots of detail lost in the leaves. Photo apparently handles the DNG file what appears to be 'correctly'. So there is a work around pre process Sony Raw's with Adobe's DNG converter (which has batch option) - but it is an unwelcome extra step in the work flow. Can also use Sony's Imaging app to edit to output to jpeg but one at a time. I have also included jpeg from Sony's Editing App. Thanks in advance ...
