I don't know what happened but I updated to the release ver. 1.6.3.103 and the Develop persona seems to be a lot better now! -
For me I wish Affinity Photo had the ability to open the RAW files with the camera setting as a base line. When I'm editing a wedding with hundreds of files I need a place to start I can't take the extra time to start from scratch, it would take me 4X longer and time is money!
-
I too have several RAW processors but the only one that is dark is AP with the Serif engine for me (which is the only one the Windows version uses). I'm using the latest version of Windows 10 with all updates applied and is the same across 3 different computers with 2 dedicated and 1 with integrated graphics. I'm thinking maybe that the Serif Engine doesn't apply any of the in camera setting to the RAW file where as other editors use the camera settings as a base point. But when I see the earlier post of the iPad and Mac screenshot all bets are off.

You click on the Blue "Apply Preset" button to apply any presets (Which I didn't) that you have saved or apply any that came installed with the program. You can also from here click on "Customize" and start applying changes to the RAW file that you can in-turn save as a preset similar to how Lightroom does it.
-
WOW! big difference!
-
I have the "standard" default preset turned off in the options, so it is opening all raw files flat.
-
I guess I'm going to have to use DXO, I was just hoping for an all in one solution so I wouldn't have to be jumping back and forth all the time and I also like the way Affinty's UI is laid out better.
-
I was pretty sure that I had apply no presets set in the options but I could be wrong I'll have to look at that further. But it still perplexes me to why every other program I own displays the exposure closer to what was taken? With a correctly exposed image I would never have to touch the Exposure slider or apply any brightness to an image, it is usually I apply a little color saturation, vibrancy, clarity, sharpening and maybe a little contrast and I'm good, just not used to see all my images so dark.
-
I have tried with or without applying tone curve, with it it is brighter but still quite a bit darker than what I am accustom to seeing. I'm going to have to research this some more.
-
All I know is that I have used at least a dozen other editors in the past and in every case except Affinity I never have to use the Exposure slider on a properly exposed RAW (.ORF) file. I pretty much used Lightroom exclusively (until I dumped it and Adobe!) and when ever I would open a RAW file it would more or less matched in exposure what the JPEG preview would show, I would then proceed to tweak shadows, highlights color and so on but I usually never needed to touch exposure unless the picture was either over or under exposed. I guess I'm just going to have to except the fact that I can't rely on the way I used to do things anymore.
-
I don't have any presets applied on load in DXO Optics Pro, in order to apply a preset you would need to click on said button to apply any presets after loading image. I have noticed the same issue when viewing in several programs (Lightroom, Olympus Viewer 3, RawTherapee, Faststone etc...) Affinity is always darker, even though exposure is correct in the RAW file.
-
Any Ideas why this is happening? Just wondering if you saw my sample RAW that I uploaded?

I will as soon as I can get to it, Thanks

I'm having the same issue, I asked the same question.

I too have tried beta 1.6.3.103 same issue

Hi, I have a simple question. First off I love Affinity Photo and am moving all my photo editing needs over to it, but was wondering why all my .ORF files consistently appear at least 1 to 2 stops darker in the develop persona than what the JPEG embedded preview shows? Is there a setting that I have wrong or is this just something I have to get used too? I'm currently running 1.6.2 on Windows. I'm used to seeing the exposure level showing the same level as the JPEG preview in other editors.
-
Any ETA when all these recent changes in the Beta's will go live? I'm really liking the changes in the RAW engine!
-
Best version yet! whatever was done the RAW developer is singing! and Love the Clarity slider now Thanks for all the hard work!

I also am at the same point as you, I got Paypal confirmation. I also emailed them and no word yet, my original email for the order said it was in stock and should receive it in 5-7 business days I thought I'd at least have received a shipped email by now? -
I find the contrast control in the develop persona seems really touchy in the 1.6.1.91 Beta
