Is this a one time thing or do you need to do it each time you edit a file?

I just posted about the same issue I thought it was a problem with my Olympus RAW files. I hope this is fixed

After trying either of the Beta's, I noticed after developing a Olympus RAW file and going to a couple of Plug-ins I use (Topaz Studio & PortraitPro) the images are being turned 90 degrees in the plugins, This doesn't happen if it is a jpeg file, I think it's the .afphoto file format that is causing the problem.

I noticed this is happening in the latest Beta (1.7.0.184) that that wasn't happening in the prior Beta? It looks correct in the develop persona, but as soon as I hit the develop button it is washed out in the Photo persona.

I am loading Olympus Raw files (.orf) fine

Love everything so far including the Icon, Olympus RAW files now load with the correct exposure Awesome!!!!

I always wait 3-4 months before I update to the latest to make sure there are no problems and to give developers time to iron out any kinks in there apps that popup because of it, even Windows home can be delayed from updating until the user feels right about it. I have both Pro and Home machines and haven't update to the Oct update yet. To be fair the Oct update only affected a small percentage and Microsoft pulled it very soon after.

WHY???!!? I find Windows 10 Way more stable than Windows 7 ever was! Windows 7 runs on the same kernel that Vista ran on! getting quite old now.

Any updates on the Windows 1.7.X Beta?

Try rasterizing the layer first, then apply your inpaint to selection.

Thanks for the clarification, any idea when the Windows 1.7 Beta will be released? I'm very excited at all the new improvements!

I realize these updates came out, but most are bug fixes or very minimal changes with no fan fare. What I'm saying is communicate with the community better and give us a rudimentary roadmap (nothing set in stone) of major changes and tweaks that people will be exited about, this builds excitement. They've been very tight lipped about 1.7 for a very long time.

Well I use a plug-in from the company ProDigital Software which works perfectly with Affinity Photo and I've see the developer asking if their Plug-ins could be included on Serif's list of working plug-in. To this day it's still not on the list and that was many months ago. I too am irritated at the lack of info coming out, You'd think they would want to maintain interest in their products.

I'm on Windows so I am forced to use the Serif engine, I was told by a few that it is a known issue and that Serif would fix it, but its been some time since I've discussed this issue so I don't think it's a priority for them. My work around gets the job done so I'm not that concerned but it would be nice if it was fixed.

I have the same problem with RAWs from my Olympus EM-1 Mk 2 and that is a supported camera. I've been complaining for over a year now and I've come to realize I'm just going to have to live with it. My work around is to setup a preset that I can apply upon opening in the develop persona that boosts exposure, brightness and a few other tweaks that gets me close and then I can adjust from there. I've tried using the apply tone curve in the develop assistant but it doesn't quite get me to where I need to be so the preset works better for me.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi I just did a High school Senior shoot with a young man with bad Acne, I'm able to clear up the blemishes relativity easily. But does anyone have a good technique for reducing the redness of the skin which I'm struggling with?

Ok, Thanks, but what I should have asked was the one in the Develop Assistant so it would apply automatically when a RAW file is opened.

Is there a way to customize the applied tone curve in the develop persona to something other than the default? If not, is this something that is possible in future updates? Because it would be very useful!

I find Faststone quite useful as a DAM, RAW files are easily launched into Affinity Photo. Tagging and organizing is fairly straight forward, most RAW formats are supported but the only drawback is naive AP files aren't recognized.

They are eventually going to eliminate the legacy plug-in's I believe over time and convert everything over to their studio format. All new plug-ins will be offered as Pro Adjustment in the Studio, the older legacy plug-ins will still work and be offered for a while longer. I used to use De-noise 5 and was going to update to 6 but opted to go with their new A.I. Clear adjustment offered in the Studio it does both De-noise and Clarity adjustments in one plug-in which isn't offered as a stand alone plug-in.

I use Topaz Studio with Affinity Photo (Windows edition) as a plugin with no issues.

Yes applying tone curve does help a little but the exposure is still dark on Olympus files. I've tried RAW files from other camera brands that don't have this problem. It gets to be a pain when I have to adjust the exposure on every shot on a large shoot such as a wedding when I know I've nailed the exposure. I've set up a profile which does speed things up a bit, I was just curious if this was being looked into as It has been brought up before several times by other people besides me in the past.

It happens both, when opening a single or multiples, I have an E-M1 and a E-M1 Mark 2 the RAW files open about 1.0 to 1.5 stops underexposed with or without the automatic tone curve applied.

Is there any progress fixing the overly dark Olympus RAW (.ORF) files imported in the develop persona?
