I really don't want to prolong this thread because I think we are all going round in circles, but, reading again your earlier posts, it seems that the high level of magenta shows on your earlier screenshot because you took your original RAW into DPP4, exported it as .tiff, imported that into APh and that is when the magenta "appears". I can't explain why this should be; perhaps there is a wrong setting somewhere in your monitor colour profile or the profile of the .tiff is being read wrongly.
As shown in my earlier screenshots, if I take your RAW direct into APh, Develop it (using default settings) and then apply a little Brightness and Contrast, I get the result posted in my second screenshot earlier. Yes, there is some magenta colour-cast there, though considerably less than is shown in your screenshot, but others have suggested how you may attempt to reduce this.
Why don't you simply open your RAW directly in APh, so bypassing DPP4 completely, and see what results you achieve? I actually used the latest Beta, which you can download to test from the Beta section of the forum, if you wish.

Ok did install the beta and here are the results (only converted to .jpeg and resized them 2048 pix). The other one is for comparison made .TIFF with DPP4 and made it in beta as same size.

Hi @Pipit
As you have mentioned the Canon 6D Mk2 is a compatible RAW format for Affinity Photo, as can be seen by our supported RAW list here -
I have downloaded a sample RAW image from Photography Blog and opened this in Affinity Photo, then compared this to the sample JPEG of the same image -
As far as I can see, the images are visually similar (ignoring the post processing applied to the JPEG) and no magenta cast is apparent.
Your issue seems to be image specific, your RAW file is heavily underexposed and has been taken at the highest ISO point. You may be able to recover this image using the advice provided above, but no photo software can work miracles and certain tones (such as magenta) may be accentuated in this process - needing further image manipulation to reduce this.
Perhaps you could add a Curves adjustment to your image, set the channel to Red and drag the curve down to reduce the magenta tones.
I know it's high ISO because it's night golf competition with glowing golf balls. I do understand that no software can do miracles but how come DPP4 gets the right tones and AP has huge amount magenta?

I’m really confused now! When @Ron P. posted his result from opening and developing your CR2 file, you responded by saying
So, as I said in my previous post, there’s a huge amount of magenta in your pic when you open it in APh (because you said so yourself) and there’s a huge amount of magenta when Ron opens it (as he showed us) but Jeff gets a different result.
I didn't mean his DPP4 pic. I meant his AP Development persona pic.

There’s a huge amount of magenta in your first APh pic, but not in Jeff’s.
My only AP pic is processed through DPP4 to make it .TIFF and opened it in AP to make it .jpeg. It doesn't have magenta at all.

I'm not sure what the problem is here.
The first screenshot below shows your RAW file open in the Develop persona of the latest Beta of AP, no changes made.
The second shows what I see if I press Develop and then apply a little Brightness and Contrast in the same version of AP.
Finally, when opened in Canon's own DPP4 (latest version, 3rd screenshot). I honestly see very little difference between this and my first screenshot, perhaps a little darker.
Jeff
You can't see difference in first and third pic on the sides? There's a huge amount of magenta there in AP but how come DPP4 doesn't have it?

What about using adobe raw to dng app?
Are you using the serif raw engine or the apple raw engine, assuming you are on mac
Sorry I didn't say it, but I use Win 10 and I haven't found app that converts to .dng.

I had no problem opening and developing your CR2 Raw file. Severely underexposed image of golf game? What version of AP are you running? This is done in the current retail release. I also tried it in the current Beta.
That's just what I mean. The pic is way more magenta than it should be. I'll put .jpeg that was converted by DPP 4 to .TIFF and opened in AP.

That is indeed quite strange. Has to do something with Affinity's RAW engine I guess. I can't help you with this, but I can confirm that Photoshop does not have this problem, while in Affinity Photo the photo has a highly visible magenta shift.
And Ps did it in 2 months...

How come AP don't support my camera? They say it's on the list but that's inaccurate because RAW files are still in magenta. This is very visible if I use bit higher ISO and pic is underexposed. I'll place example here and you guys can check it yourself. Open it and you'll see what I mean.

The Canon 6D MKII is a supported camera, see our supported RAW list, I downloaded a sample file and it's opened as expected, see the attached screenshot. Not sure which app DPP4 is but could you provide a link to the RAW file?
Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 in which I still need to convert my RAW files even though my camera is on your "supported RAW list". Yes it says it's supported but you can clearly see what I see when I open with AP and DPP4. I can't make you a link but if you can PM me where to send original I'll be happy to.

The other one is straight from AP and other one was converted DPP4 as tiff and then brought to AP. Take a wild guess wich is wich...
It's been almost two years since this camera came out and still AP can't handle it's RAW files. Shame on you.
-
Just found out today, when took high ISO pic a little underexposed and tried to have some light on pic. Opened the same pic in DPP4 and converted it in .TIFF and that's in normal color.

Just purchased EOS R, looking for editor and am super impressed with Affinity... the challenge is that it doesn't support EOS R RAW files. Am I looking at a wait of a month or two or longer?
I've been waiting over a year for them to fix 6D mkII RAW files, so wouldn't hold my breath for newer types of RAW.

There is no third party software that I know of, that can imitate Canon's reds easily.
Photoshop does. Did right from the start. Later I moved to AP and this is what it still is after a year.

I understand that, I'm just pointing out that there may be better ways of managing the current situation than using DPP4.
<edit>
On a whim, I've just tried downloading a few 6D MkII RAW files from DPReview - AP handles them without any problems!
This is what I get when I open raw image. The DPP4 is what it should look like. I've uninstalled and reinstalled AP Latest version. Camera is up to date also.

Have you tried the Adobe DNG converter? It's very quick and the files are usually smaller.
I don't want to convert the files to any other. I only want to open them up straight out of camera.

I'm still waiting AP to do something about RAW file handling. Tired to use DPP4 to convert files to .tiff and they are 5 times bigger files, than raw from camera. I'd like to know some date when AP can handle those files. This camera has been out over a year now. Hurry up guys.
-
Is there any date for this update for Windows? It's pretty annoying first open file with DPP and convert to tiff and you can do only on pic at a time. This takes time and space from disc.
-
I think they forgot to implement 6d mk2 raw file handling.
Canon 6D mk II 2 years now and still no support on .CR2

As I said earlier I don't care about the noise, what I'm not tolerating is amount of magenta that AP Developer persona brings to RAW -image.
