Unable to load NEF files in portrait orientation in 1.8.2.174

[JacobMichelsen]

When loading portrait orientation NEF files from my Nikon D850, this fails  and a mirrored pixelized image turns up. There is no problem with landscape oriented NEF files. When processing the portrait oriented NEF files into JPG in/camera these JPG can load into Affinity Photo - this is my only workaround right now. There was no problems with this in the previous version. The device is a iPad Pro (12,9") (2. generation) running the newest iPad OS version 13.4.

Have just updated to version 1.8.3 and the problem remains!

Update to newest version but bug is still there...

Having the same problem, NEF files from my Nikon D300 load properly when taken in landscape orientation but when taken in portrait orientation the image is pixelated and mirrored.  iPad Pro 2nd gen 12.9” Affinity Version 1.8.3

Same problem for me when importing from Photos. Using a D800.  Seems like the imported file is a mirror of the NEFs embedded jpeg. Very frustrating.  If I save the NEF to the file system and import from there it seems to work fine.  Latest release, 1.8.3.180

I've passed this to the developers. Thank you.

Switched auto rotation off in my D850’s and the problem disappeared. Can now load the NEF files in portrait mode and they can be rotated from within Affinity Photo. Surprised such a problem hasn’t been fixed right away...

I'm having the same issue today. Nikon D500, portrait orientation RAW photos not properly importing into Affinity Photo iPad.

[JacobMichelsen]

This issue should be fixed now when iPadOS is upgraded to the latest version (14.3). Requires no update of Affinity Photo I believe. Whenever I had this problem (before I discovered that switching in-camera auto rotate off would fix it) I instead stored NEF files in an iCloud archive and then imported into Affinity Photo from there. That also fixed the problem. But now upgrading Apples latest OS for the iPad seems to do the job.

Cheers /Jacob.
