Bodwin Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Hi, thanks for having me. My first post after just getting Affinity / Nikon Z6 and unable to find answers elsewhere. The file opens up as normal using NX Studio but when I use Affinity it opens like this. This is the same for all 72 images I took today to practice with. Camera and lens used are in the screen shot. I have gone through the preferences but nothing obvious I could see to enable or disable. Operating system is Windows 11 and this along with the camera are up to date with their software. Any help greatly received thanks. Quote
walt.farrell Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. You have "Show Clipped Highlights" and "Show Clipped Tones" active as options in Toolbar of the Develop Persona: Turning them off may remove that highlighting. It is also possible that you are having some lens vignetting, given the position of those highlights. So possibly your lens is not recognized, or the lens correction is not being applied, or not applied properly?

The OP used a full format Nikon FX Z6 cam, but the selected lens profile is a "AF-S DX Zoom-Nikor 18-105mm" one and so a Nikon DX (APS-C) format lens! walt.farrell 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2
Bodwin Posted March 12, 2022 Author Posted March 12, 2022 Thanks for the prompt replies! Turned off clipped highlights and clipped tones and also removed lens vignetting to achieve a "normal" picture! Not sure if I have clicked these on or if it is my configuration that has selected them tbh. Regarding the lens, it is just an old one I bought second hand off ebay to help work out what I want to do but clearly I may have gone to old / cheap to start with. May have to bite the bullet and get a more up to date one with a Z mount. Been a very long time since I took photos with anything other than a phone and never used software as in depth as this but can see the potential is amazing. Thanks for the help, really appreciated 👍 "just turned the clipped options back on and picture is still perfectly fine so guessing it may be down to lens vignetting and an old lens" walt.farrell 1 Quote
