Sounds promising. Worth noting that I am on Windows.

Pretty much came to the same conclusion and was hoping there was a workaround of some sort. Thanks

So I guess Affinity's 32bit workflow is broken.

Anyone from Affinity care to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yes I am, I've tried every combination with varying results, the only one that works is Light + GI. The EXR is coming in as 32bit HDR with ICC profile sRGB IEC6... (Linear), should I look at changing some of the colour profile setting? The ironic thing is that the composite works in Photoshop as I have it setup with an EXR plugin and what not. Using AP 1.5.2.69 Thanks

Hello, Have a similar problem where I am moving away from Photoshop for the exact reasons mentioned above. After struggling for many years trying to tame Photoshop and make it play nice with 32bit EXRs, I've given up and moved to Nuke, but for the reasons mentioned above (using brushes and other bitmap edits in my composites without reducing bit depth) I am trying Affinity Photo. Bringing VRay render elements from Maya to Affinity Photo (AP) I am trying to replicate my existing workflow whereby I multiply raw passes with diffuse then add the stack to go back to beauty, for example: (RawLight * Diffuse) + (RawGI * DIffuse) should give beauty for a very simple material setup (no reflection, refraction, etc...) In AP I don't get the desired result, it seems when I use the multiply blend mode on the raw passes the math is not correct. In the example above when I use Lighting + GI the results are correct. Any ideas what could be going wrong? Thanks Paul Edit: The culprit is the RawGI * Diffuse which should equate to GI, in AP it does not.
