Exported JPG opens as a RAW file in Photoshop
Tom Lachecki replied to Ldina's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
As I say, this is really more of a Photoshop & Camera RAW setting (and you can turn it off in Camera RAW) for any file that has, at some stage in its past, already been touched by such software. But we'll consider an addition to our "Embed Metadata" checkbox to allow you to strip out only the Camera RAW metadata from exported JPEGs, so that you can stop this Adobe feature from being triggered.- 34 replies

Exported JPG opens as a RAW file in Photoshop
Tom Lachecki replied to Ldina's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hi @Ldina, Photoshop opens processed files in Camera RAW by default if an XMP sidecar file is present. So one thing to check is that you don't have a sidecar in the same directory, left over from your work with the DNG in your Adobe software. If that doesn't solve it, it is possible that Photoshop is picking up on some Camera RAW develop metadata in the JPEG; if so, it may be appropriate for us to start automatically stripping that out on export, but it's something we'll need to investigate further. You can also change your Camera RAW settings to "Disable JPEG Support" entirely.- 34 replies

affinity designer v2 folder/directory error
Tom Lachecki replied to Nats1's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
This is a common shortcut with some graphics drivers to alter the rotation of the screen; it isn't Affinity doing that I recommend checking your nVidia/AMD/etc settings. -
Might have a Metadata bug
Tom Lachecki replied to DeepDesertPhoto's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
It will be fixed in a forthcoming update. The reason it appeared to work in Affinity Photo 1 is that we did not have a proper date/time widget with user input until Affinity Photo 2. We were just showing the timestamp without any timezone information at all. It would appear to be correct, but if you went on holiday you'd soon realise that your computer local time was not being taken into consideration properly then either. Times in exported data would also have had the offset. It's just much more obvious now: the user input is interpreted as being in local time for convenience, so the whole widget must be timezone-aware. -

Tom Lachecki replied to DeepDesertPhoto's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Thanks - it's not setting the EXIF timezone information, but it's setting some data in the Makernotes we can start using. -

Yes please -
This has been discussed a few times, and although I can see where you're coming from, I think it sets a precedent of marking any fonts with licensing restrictions, which isn't practical. As Walt says, most - all?! - fonts have their own varying licensing requirements, which it's already your responsibility to meet. Suddenly any fonts without this new mark would sort of appear to be unrestricted, which is not likely to be the case. It also doesn't really tell you anything that you need to know during day-to-day use, while taking up space in doing so. The Save As Package dialog does indicate that the font will be embedded in a restricted fashion, if that helps!

Heh, not a bad idea. We'll start with collapsing the space left over by hidding preferences not relevant in the current app, and see how it goes -

[AP 2.0.4.1701] EXIF Data-Time is still wrong
Tom Lachecki replied to Ron P.'s topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Thanks! It does indeed appear to have some useful information in the Makernotes, so we should be able to start applying that to the Date Shot field during parsing (when it's missing its own timezone indicator), then everything will be fine. -
[AP 2.0.4.1701] EXIF Data-Time is still wrong
Tom Lachecki replied to Ron P.'s topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
It doesn't, but only the new editable date/time widget in v2 shows anything in your local time. v1 just parroted what you're seeing in the Detail tab - i.e. "whatever the camera told us" without any maths -
[AP 2.0.4.1701] EXIF Data-Time is still wrong
Tom Lachecki replied to Ron P.'s topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Please provide the image in question so we can investigate. But from the Detail tab, which provides a "raw" view of the embedded information, it looks as though the EXIF data does not contain any timezone information, so we have to treat it as UTC (there is no better general solution). The time is then shown adjusted for your timezone in the editor. As such, this would be behaving as expected. However, it's possible that your Canon camera is putting timezone data someplace in the Makernotes that we don't currently parse, which may be fixable... -
