Pentax 645z RAW File (PEF) - Black Border


Recommended Posts

Opening a Pentax 645z RAW (PEF) file in Affinity Photo there is a black border at the top and bottom of the image. This does not happen if the file is opened in other RAW processing software (DXO, Adobe Camera RAW).  Not sure if this is an issue with the Pentax but the border stays with the image after export.  Is there a RAW preference I am missing or could this be a bug?

 

You can see the black border at the top and bottom of the attached image.

 

Cheers

Hi MikekPhoto,

This is probably due to the use of Serif Labs RAW Engine which doesn't discard all data as other RAW converters.

If you change the RAW engine to Apple (Core Image RAW) in the Develop Assistant (menu View ▸ Assistant Manager... - you have to open the file again for the new setting take effect) it should open as in other software without the black borders.
