Jaco Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Goodday to All. Friendly greetings from the Kalahari, Africa. Please assist with the problem below: In a nut shell, I can not open a RAW (NEF) file via the Create pallette from image dialog. I searched the internet, but do not find a solution. Please find attached 2 screenprints for clarity. ..."To generate a palette from an image: Click Panel Preferences and choose Create Palette From Image. From the Create Palette From Image dialog, click Select Image or click-drag an image onto the dialog to load it." From the FILE dropdown, selecting OPEN the following (Image 1 FILE Dropdown): .... When opening an image it offers RAW and other formats, however (Image 2 Create pallette from image) when opening or selecting an image from the "create pallette from image" dialog the RAW image and other formats are not available. Could anybody please advise whether I am somewhere in the wrong , or how to make the RAW images available to create a pallette from a RAW image (NEF). Thanking you in advace for help. Jaco Quote
Ron P. Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Hi @Jaco, While we would think we should be able to use the Create Palette from Image, using a RAW file, Affinity Photo needs a Rasterized image file, like jpg, tif, png, ect. You can open a RAW file (NEF in your case), then inside the Photo Persona, from the Color Palette menu, choose Create Palette from Document. You're presented two options, As Application or Document Palettes. Application Palettes are saved and can be used for any of your Affinity Photo Documents. Document Palettes are saved specifically in the Document you created it from. It will not be available in other documents. jmwellborn 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2.5..; Affinity Designer 2.5..; Affinity Publisher 2.5..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

Jaco Posted November 15, 2022 Author Posted November 15, 2022 Good day Ron, You have solved my problem. Thanks for your time. I will create an appropriate format and then follow the system to create 5 or so color palette from the (appropriate format) image. Thank you again. Jaco jmwellborn 1 Quote

From this we can Create Palette From Document as an Application or Document Palette. The Placed RAW file is not rasterized to a Pixel layer. So if we can create palettes from these, why shouldn't we think that we should be able to do the other.

Because once Placed they have been developed and now contain pixels and colors. They are totally different from RAW image on disk.
