Why are my developed images so bright in Photo Persona?


Recommended Posts

After I have tediously edited my images in the Develop Persona, these same images arrive overly bright when transferred to the Photo Persona and in the process their character is altered slightly.

Has anybody encountered this problem or shed some light on what is happening here. It has me flummoxed

 

All comments welcome.

Thanks

William

Do you have a sample Raw file you can upload that exhibits this problem?

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

I'm attaching the original Raw and the resultant AF image.

We only got the Raw file not the AF Image

and I cant see any real difference after Developing it, can you upload what you are seeing?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the 32 bit preview panel you refer to.

I have the Develop Persona opened on my laptop. where exactly do i find it.

I've deleted that message. It was for another thread and I posted it in yours by mistake.

If it's showing, by default it's in the same set of studio tabs as the Navigator, and if it's not the active tab it probably shows as "32P".

If it's not showing, View > Studio > 32-bit Preview.

That looks like it should look, as far as I know. So at this point you wait to see if someone else has an idea, I'm afraid.

Unbeknownst to myself, I now realise that when I you open a RAW file in Affinity Photo it's processed in a working pixel format of 32-bit float, which is unbounded. This would appear to be normal. This prevents values outside the range of 0-1 from being clipped and discarded, and allows for highlight recovery. Colour operations are processed in ROMM RGB (ProPhoto), which helps colour fidelity even if the intended output colour space is sRGB. You are essentially working in the highest quality that is reasonable.

I did not have the above ICC profile selected but since I activated it, the transfer to the Photo Persona is exactly as it was when I clicked the Develop button. Furthermore, Affinity Photo converts by default, the file to 16-bit pixel format.

And since I have Adobe RGB set as my colour profile in preferences, everything now is honky dory.

Thanks to all for responding.

William
