Affinity RAW engine vs. Adobe RAW engine - and the winner is ...


Recommended Posts

... sorry to say - from my point of view - Adobe. Perhaps my fault, because I was not able to find the correct settings.

For both applications all automatic corrections were turned off.

a) Both images do not differ too much, the Adobe version is a little bit more vivid. The biggest difference is the spotlight at right. Just have a look at the spot the spotlight produces on the floor. Where there is still texture in the Adobe version, the Affinity version creates more or less a light spot.

b) Things get more dramatic, when coming to correction. With Adobe I used the Automatic correction, which looked "fairly" good for this underexposed image. Next I was trying to get the Adobe result and tried to translate the Adobe values to Affinity, but I never came close. Main problem I see here is how exposure works in Affinity. Where exposure is much more subtle in Adobe, you have to give a much higher value with Affinity to come near to same brightness.

So, what is my fault and how to prevent? Images are attached.

Hi Joachim_L :)

Could you confirm for me, what model camera do your RAWs originate from?

This issue is already logged with our developers (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/102289-problem-with-raws-and-blue-stage-light-develop-persona/), so I'd like to update the report with your specific setup!

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.
