TIFF file loads flipped

[rbrazile]

I have a couple of TIFF files that Affinity 1.8.3 always loads in a flipped (horizontally) fashion. I've tried restarting Affinity without effect. They load in my other image editing applications correctly.

I can supply a file if that is helpful.

Hi and welcome to the forums @rbrazile,

Do you mean rotated (90 degrees) or flipped (left to right)? A file would be good, there is the Metadata panel in Photo where you can check to see if the camera has correctly recorded Horizontal or Vertical orientation.

Hi rbrazile,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Thanks for reporting this. Can you please upload the TIFF files using this link for us to take a look please? Thank you.

Sorry, I meant flipped (left to right). I will upload one of the affected TIFF files (not all files are affected).

I've selected one that has writing in it, which should make it apparent whether it is reversed or not.

Just checking in: was this sufficient to reproduce the issue, or do you need anything else? I've seen this happen with additional TIFF files created the same way...but not all of them, which is weird.

Hi rbrazile,
Yes, I'm seeing the same here. How are you generating/creating these TIFFs?

[rbrazile]

They are generated with Sigma Photo Pro, the latest version, from Sigma Foveon RAW files on a Mac running Catalina. The files show properly oriented in Preview, as well as in a couple other image editors I've tried, for what it's worth.

Thanks for the info rbrazile. I've logged the issue/passed the file to dev team for inspection. Will update this thread as soon as i have news.

[rbrazile]

Thanks, will look forward to it. Obviously there is an easy workaround that I have been using: just flip it back, everything seems to work normally other than that.

Having the same issue with Tiff files from Epson FastFoto App. If I scan with the epson app and then rotate the Tiff, Affinity Photo will load the file flipped horizontally and vertically. Photoshop will open it correctly and MacOS will preview it correctly. Just resaving the Tiff from Photoshop will allow Affinity Photo to open it correctly. Happy to provide a sample if helpful.

Sorry should have clarified - I'm seeing the issue in 1.8.3. Tried more photos just to be sure and definitely happening but in a very specific case with Epson FastFoto software. I'm 90% sure it only happens when you use FastFoto to rotate a photo 90% before saving. Photoshop can open it fine but AP will flip it horizontally. Attached second photo where you can see in the name of the building past the bridge that the photo is flipped. Plan to try it with Epson Scan 2 (with my V550) to see if it has the same issue. Love the fast response. Obviously this is a pretty fringe case.

Hi Adam McGilvray,
I've replicated the issue in v1.8.3 and 1.8.4 with both your first and second images. I guess i was a bit tired when i checked the first one and didn't noticed the difference. Anyway the issue is already logged. Thanks for your report/feedback.
