Catsrcool Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Affinity Photo now opens landscape RAW images in portrait orientation. Any suggestions please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmrecs01 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 @Catsrcool 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?

Catsrcool Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 The RAW image in the Google drive link here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_7zBO2p3f4JfUd126mdh7OZcMtjHilhx/view?usp=sharing is displayed in Windows file manager and Canon's own DPP software in Landscape but opening it in Affinity is displayed in portrait. The max file size on this forum says it is 512Mb so the only way for you to get it AFAIK is the Google drive link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David in Яuislip Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Exiftool shows: Camera Orientation : Rotate 270 CW so it looks like Photo is applying this It opens landscape in Photolab4.

David in Яuislip Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 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 Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
