Open/place raw images more dark

Capture One and Affinity comparation, I have using the same color space,

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Are you Opening, or are you Placing? They are different processes, and handle RAW images differently. At this point I would not recommend Placing a RAW image. Instead, you should Open it, Develop it, and then either Place a .afphoto file or an Exported TIFF file.)

Hey there,

Thanks for your quickly  answer, Im placing, so if cannot do that, I need to develop first in Capture One (there more features, sorry, it's true) and after that, will be place in Affinity, double work.

Ok, there is something,  to make it better your application.

Yes, I believe you will need to Develop first (in whichever application you want). At this point, in my experience, Placing RAW files is likely to leave them too dark.

It is my hope that Serif will improve this processing someday; they improved RAW handling for File > New Batch Job in Photo recently, for example, but I do not think they improved File > Place yet in any of the applications.

This is a new issue, I taked 14 images to make it a stack, and the final result is darked too.

Another example, without compare with other editor, in the follwing image I take a staked and one source photo, see the difference.

Stacking is another option on the File menu. As I said before, only File > Open and File > New Batch Job work well with Raw files.

For all other uses I recommend Developing the Raw files first. You could do that with either File > Open or File > New Batch Job, which might be more convenient if you have a lot of images.

I don't know what you mean, the batch job convert raw into afphoto format, and these cannot be selected for the stack operation, and Im NOT develop one by one to create a stack, that's too bad my friend

The batch job can convert your RAW files to TIFF, and the TIFF files can then be added to the stack.

You kidding me right? If I have 60 raw images, each 16 bits tiff have a 20Mb each channel, 120 Mb x 60  = 7200Mb, please if you work with Serif team, you must give all my comments to improve the product.

All your solutions,  are not feasible or suitable for me, Serif need to listen to what he's customers tell, anyway thanks  for your comment, for what I buy the product is not useful, but I will not ask for a refund.

No, unfortunately I'm just telling you how it works today.

As I said above, I hope Serif will improve this. I, like you, consider this behavior to be a bug, and I was disappointed in a recent release when they fixed the processing for New Batch Job and ignored th eother areas that have the problem. I've asked one of the moderators whether Serif considers it a bug or just something that needs to be improved.

I'm not sure how the moderators will respond when they have time to get to your bug report; we'll both have to wait and see. But I hope it is something they will address soon.
