eadauto Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 When I open a NEF or DNG file from an infrared picture I can apply white balance when opening and it is shown in K. This white balance is working great. If I do HDR of this on Affinity or any other program and save in TIFF the white balance is shown in % and it is not doing a good job as previous algorithm that is shown in K. How can I use the white balance that is showing in K? It seems it is only working when I open the file on DNG/NEF on the very first time. IF I go to develop Persona the White balance again is in %. In short, How can I use always WB that is managing in K and not in % regardless the file I am editing? Quote
eadauto Posted May 29, 2020 Author Posted May 29, 2020 I think this is a bug, on develop persona it should use White Balance in K and it is not like this, when can this be fixed? https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Adjustments/adjustment_whiteBalance.html?title=White Balance adjustment White Balance—controls the 'temperature' of the image. In the Develop Persona this is measured in Kelvin (K). Drag the slider to the left to cool the image, or drag the slider to the right to warm the image. Quote
Old Bruce Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 I agree. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Staff Lee D Posted June 24, 2020 Staff Posted June 24, 2020 When a raw image is first imported into the Develop persona you have the tools available to make adjustments to the RAW data, this is why the White balance is displayed in K. Once you Develop your raw image into the Photo persona the data is processed into an Affinity working document. This is why the White Balance adjustment is now displayed in %, it's a similar process in other raw developers. Quote
