rgvphotoguy Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I've been processing photos with Affinity for a few years now, I've never noticed this much of a difference in the color of a photo from when I'm previewing and then opened in Affinity. I'm not the most knowledgable person out there, but I know enough to know that RAW files are going to be a bit bland before processing, however, I don't ever recall it being this much of a difference. Forgive me if this is normal, if it's not, any tips and info on what's going on here would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 There are some options available in the Assistant (the little black and white 'tuxedo') Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this issue has not actually been resolved for me, since this post, some images look normal with apply tone curve off, and some look normal with tone curve off... but now I'm having issues where no matter what the setting is, Affinity applies a harsher darker tone to what I'm getting in preview. I've tested out different photo editing software and Affinity is the only one that opens my files like this, am I missing something else? Or could this be a bug with how Affinity opens certain files depending on the colors? I've messed with other settings to see if I can get any changes but I can't find anything. Thank you for any insight you may have. Edited April 7, 2020 by rgvphotoguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 There is also a 32bit preview panel you can explore and adjust, you can also enable EDR (Extended Dynamic Range) if your monitor/GPU is EDR (Extended Dynamic Range) capable.
