knipser Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm creating a panorama in Affinity Photo (version 1.8.3 at the moment) from DNG files. These files are the native format of my Pentax K-3 II camera. The program will always create a panorama photo in RGBA/16 with the sRGB color profile. Therefore highlights and shadows are easily clipped and I'm wondering if I can make Affinity Photo to create a panorama photo with a wider color space. I have set the ROMM color profile for both RGB and RGB/32 photos in the settings (I'm on Windows 10 btw). It doesn't seem to have an impact on the panorama creation process, because I end up with an sRGB photo all the time. I know I could process my RAW photos before stitching, then export them as TIFF files with a color space of my choice. Then Affinity Photo would end up creating a panorama picture with the same color space. But I often want to see first, how well the stitching will work, before investing too much time into editing the photo. I would also prefer to stitch the DNGs in Affinity Photo, export the result as TIFF and import it into Lightroom for further management and editing (unless there are edits I need Affinity Photo for). Does anybody know, why Affinity Photo ignores the wider color space of DNG files when creating a panorama? Is this a defect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knipser Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 For some strange reason it now creates ROMM files, but before it didn't... I will observe if this is a stable state now. The questions would be unnecessary in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
