Welcome to the Affinity forums.

I've seen mention of this problem before and I believe the answer concerns whether or not the image data includes information on the orientation of the original image.

I've just checked a Landscape .CR2 RAW in both the latest release and the latest Beta of APh and both opened in the correct orientation, so this is not a general problem.  Is this something that has just started for you, as your question suggests?  Can you post here one of your RAW files which exhibits this problem, for other users to test?

Exiftool shows:
Camera Orientation              : Rotate 270 CW
so it looks like Photo is applying this

It opens landscape in Photolab4. No suggestions, sorry

Well maybe one

exiftool -CameraOrientation#=0 IMG_0201.CR2

🙂

IMG_0201.CR2

Exiftool is a command line program available from https://www.exiftool.org/
-CameraOrientation#=0 is the option that needs to be used to rewrite the Camera Orientation metadata

Your original file shows
CameraOrientation: Rotate 270 CW
after exiftool -CameraOrientation#=0 IMG_0201.CR2
it becomes
CameraOrientation: Horizontal (normal)
so the file will open in Photo as landscape

For Windows

Download the Windows Executable: exiftool-12.13.zip (6.3 MB) and unzip it to a folder, there is no installation as such

Set the path to point to this folder using Control Panel\System and Security\System\Advanced System Settings\Advanced tab\Environmental Variables\System variables

Now you can open a Powershell window in a folder containing your raw files and use Exiftool there

exiftool -CameraOrientation#=0 *.CR2 will operate on all files
