Fixing DNG colors in Affinity Photo for Windows

[krazyfrog]

Is there any way I can fix these atrocious colors when viewing Adobe DNG files in the Develop Persona? The files look perfectly fine in Lightroom and even on mobile editing software like Snapseed but every time I open them in Affinity they just look so bad and things like saturation and white balance also don't work correctly. I have to look at raw files from different smartphones for my work and this app just doesn't work for that purpose.

Hi KrazyFrog,

Welcome to the forums

It looks more like edits are being applied to the image when opened in other apps but not ours. If possible could you provide a copy of the file?

Thanks

There are no edits being applied in the other apps. That's just what the image is supposed to look. In fact, the Lightroom app shown in the first screenshot cannot apply any edits because my membership with Adobe expired a while back and the app is in read-only mode. 

I have attached the original DNG raw file as well as the companion JPEG image that was shot at the same time. You can try opening it yourself in different editing applications.
