walt.farrell Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. It looks like your file didn't attach properly. We'll probably need a screenshot of the complete application window after you Open the file, and the RAW file you're trying to Open. Also, what OS do you use, what release of Photo, and how are you accessing the file that you're Opening?

Kaveh Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 Hi Walt, When I open The RAW files from my photo taken by phone and Canon camera in Affinity photo, they open as jpeg file in photo persona instead of develop persona and when I try to use develop persona for the file, it doesn't show the develop panel. here is a recent photo that I attach. As you see in this image it shows as jpeg and not raw. I'll appreciate if you help me to solve this problem. thanks walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use MacOS Ventura 13.5 and I open files from my photos app directly to affinity photo list. thanks Edited August 3, 2023 by Kaveh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Please try to attach a RAW file that has this issue. It is likely that the file is not actually a RAW file.

Kaveh Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 Thank you RC-R. It seems that the RAW files on iPhone camera changes to JPEG format when I open them in affinity photo. It must be from iPhone camera, because the RAW files from Canon Camera don't change after opening in Affinity photo. I think Affinity photo don't support IPhone RAW files or I'm wrong about it.

Affinity Photo is able to load RAW image files from iPhone/iPad. According to Apple's support information, you need to transfer the RAW files via AirDrop.

From your screenshot, Affinity Photo has loaded the file IMG_4200.jpeg If it's a iPhone Pro Max RAW file you would have the file named IMG_4200.DNG You should check Camera settings on the phone if Apple ProRAW is switched on. When not : the camera produces jpeg. Affinity doesn't convert file format on the disk. Only when you use the export menu, and you select which format you like to save.
