Wrong white balance + Pixel size + different sharpness on IPAD and PC Version

[New_Happy_User]

Good day to all. 
I do not know if I am in the right place and I hope someone can tell me if I am using the program wrong or if the program has a bug.
After using the IPad version I downloaded the trial version for the PC (win 10 pro 64 bit).

I notice the following things:
- When I open the same raw files on the IPad and the PC and look at the white balance, it is different (see pictures White balance IPad + white balance PC).
- After I have developed both images the same way (for test only with lens correction) and do an automatic white balance the colors are slightly different (sorry I don't know why but there was an error when I tried to upload the pictures...).

- When I set the same white balance data from Affinity Photo on the iPad on the PC-Version, the colors are slightly different after exporting as JPEG.
- When exporting on the PC, it shows that the image should have a size of 4032x6032 px (Fuji XT2 has 24 MP --> 6000x4000px). On the Ipad this is indicated correctly (see Images Export settings).

-The photo from the IPAD export also seems a bit sharper. Maybe this has something to do with a distortion due to the wrong pixel size on PC?

 

Both devices have the same basic settings. Can anyone help me and tell me if I am doing something wrong?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

On your iPad you have a choice of using the Apple RAW engine or the Serif Labs RAW engine. Check your Assistant settings to see which you're using.

On Windows you have only the Serif Labs RAW engine. It will do some things differently from the Apple engine.

The Serif engine retains edge pixels that the the camera manufacturer considers unreliable. Most other RAW engines discard them, which results in showing the size documented by the manufacturer. However, the Serif engine includes them as they may have usable data that you would find acceptable. If you don't want them, you need to crop them manually.

Thank you Walt for your answer. I will change the settings and proof the sharpness. I think the apple engine does a better job…
