Majadero Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 Hello, I am a quite new AP user - I need accurate color reproduction from my canon cameras. How to find my camera “faithful” profile (or picture style as they call it) in raw file processing? Quote
Ron P. Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 Affinity Photo is not able to read Canon's Picture Styles. In fact I think there's very few editors that can. Canon does provide Digital Photo Professional, and I know Lightroom, are both able to read and use Picture Styles.

v_kyr Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 Jip, Affinity Photo can't make any use out of Canon's Picture Styles, same as it also can't deal with Nikon's Picture Controls too!

Thanks Ron, I use DPP and Photoshop - I am really surprised AP doesn't support that - it's my basic color correction tool in fact... Quote

NotMyFault Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 If you need the picture profiles, do the RAW conversion with DPP, and export as TIFF/16. Then continue all further edits in Photo.

How to find my camera “faithful” profile (or picture style as they call it) in raw file processing? Try ON1, they include "camera profiles" and their own ON1 profiles. Plus ON1 has Linear Raw, 95% of the time "camera profiles" severely distort colors and contrast and starting out with the Linear image can help you improve your photography skills (it lets you see right up front, haze, contrast, and exposures more realistically in a photographic sense . I use Affinity and ON1 in combination, because the RAW developers are different just like my images? To be frank and honest, staying dedicated, committed, and loyal to one editing program is foolish today. Yes, it is harder to learn different systems no doubt about it. There is also absolutely no doubt about staying one dimensional and plain boring by being faithful to only one editor. I recommend using Affinity with other processors, period because one dimension in a multi-dimensional world doesn't fit everything....physics. My point is, Affinity is excellent but you shouldn't just accept it and use another system to have them compliment each other. DPP4, RAW Therapee, Silkypix, etc.... add one to your tool box and see? (some are free) And btw, I really like Affinity Photo very much and before I print or post? Affinity is my personal "proof" editor, the final program I use before printing/posting ....the "Judge" ware On 3/5/2022 at 2:13 PM, Majadero said: Quote
