simonartist Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I have noticed that raw files are darker than JPGs files. Does this application have a tone cure? The idea is that when opening a raw file, it matches up with your view on your camera/raw files. Yes, my laptop does have a management system set up. Any helpful suggestion would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the Assistant settings for the Raw engine. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be closer than having nothing, though.

h_d Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Just to fill in some of the blanks (I'm using macOS Ventura and Affinity Photo 2, other combinations of OS and APh should be very similar). Pull down the Affinity Photo menu and choose Settings. This takes you to the Preferences dialog (why it's not called Settings is anyone's guess 🤪). Click Assistant in the left-hand column, make sure that Enable assistant is checked, then click Develop Assistant...: You can also click the Assistant button while editing in Develop Persona. Here's the assistant: All is explained in the Help: : And the note at the end is worth reflecting on if you want 'absolute control in how the image is processed.'

simonartist Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 My settings is exactly as above even before I post to this group. I was hoping for better outcome with curve tone The closest I have come to is Digital Photo Professional 4 for Canon and I do not like it much. My way is to save the settings under Preset for raw for Affinity Photo 2. This is an improve over version 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
