Patrick Cray Posted January 16, 2024 Posted January 16, 2024 I am running Affinity Photo 2 Beta v.2.4.0.2222 on a Windows 11 PC. I round-tripped a DNG file from Excire Foto 2024 to DxO PureRAW 3. I then exported the resulting linear DNG to Affinity Photo 2 Beta. On export from Affinity Photo 2 Beta, I noted the details of the taking lens had been changed. The image was taken with a Nikon D800 and a Nikkor AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR, but the TIFF exported from Affinity Photo 2 Beta shows the taking lens to be a Tokina AT-X 24-70mm f/2.8 PRO FX. I have contacted Excire and they do not believe their application is responsible for the metadata change. As can be seen from the attached screenshot, it appears that DxO PureRAW 3 is using the correct optical module. Could Affinity Photo 2 Beta be responsible for this issue thanks? Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 16, 2024 Posted January 16, 2024 What happens if you try it with 2.3.1? Can you share a copy of the file at each stage (before loading into Exciro, after Exciro, and after DXO PureRaw 3)?

Patrick Cray Posted January 16, 2024 Author Posted January 16, 2024 Walt, I have just repeated the exercise with v 2.3.1 with the same results. As it is getting a bit late here in North West England I will conduct further test tomorrow morning. Just thinking of the best way to share the rather large files, I am no computer expert? I have already contacted the manufacturers of Excire Foto 2024 which is a DAM: they are of the opinion the problem does not lie with them. I think I will open the raw file directly in Affinity Photo 2 & the beta and see what happens? I will also see what happens if I open the file directly in DxO PureRAW 3 and then process it in Affinity? I will also see what happens if I process images taken with different camera/lens combinations. Many thanks, Patrick walt.farrell 1 Quote
Patrick Cray Posted January 17, 2024 Author Posted January 17, 2024 I have done further testing. Files processed in Affinty Photo 2 & Affinity Photo 2 Beta; when synchronised with the Excire Foto 2024 DAM the taking lens is being changed from a Nikkor to a Tokina lens. When the images are opened in Adobe Lightroom Classic, DxO Photolab 6 or 7 and FastRawViewer the lens data is shown correctly. Utilising the metadata panel in Affinity Photo 2 also shows the correct Nikkor lens. In addition if the jpeg with the incorrect metadata is sent from Excire Foto to Affinity Photo 2 the correct Nikkor lens is displayed. Any observations would be most appreciated. I will raise the matter with Excire as it looks to be as they are the culprits. Many thanks, Patrick Quote
