Pedro VZ Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I have been trying to open RAW files on my Ipad but once I opened them there is no picture just a black screen. At first, I was thinking that when I modify the settings it will appear but I dont see anything once I star messing with the picture. I am doing something wrong?

Hangman Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Hi @Pedro VZ and welcome to the forums, Your RAW file will need to be from a supported camera. If your camera isn't listed, it means the camera's RAW format isn't yet supported by the LibRaw library that Affinity Photo uses. This is the full list of currently supported cameras... Which camera are you using?

Could you upload a sample RAW file so we can take a look... Also, could you upload a screenshot of the Develop Assistant Settings in Affinity Photo found under the App Settings in the Assistant section...

Hangman Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Hi @Pedro VZ, Thanks for the file... It's opening without issue on Desktop so I'm slightly unsure why that's not the case on iPad... Hopefully, someone else using Photo on iPad can also test your file and report back...

Out of interest, if you click the Tick button to Develop the RAW file do you see it in the Photo Persona?

Hopefuly someone else can try it on an Ipad iPad Pro 13" (M4), iPadOS 17.6.1 Bad(?) news - it loaded fine. I've not been a raw shooter for many years, so this was probably the first time I opened a suitable file in Develop mode. 99.99% certain that's the case on the iPad at least, where I have only recently started to explore the mobile Affinity apps (in contrast to experience on the desktop versions that goes back years). In case it's significant, my workflow here was to download the sample file on my Mac, move it into my iCloud drive and open it from there on the iPad from the Open Document option within Affinity Photo.

eduard14 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) I am having the same problem, it even shows up fine in the Navigator.

Pedro VZ Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 I open the files by Open document Import document If I try to do it any other way it does not open as RAW. I need to upload it to Icloud and even then some photos are not opening as RAW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro VZ Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 I think that solves the issue of opening RAW images from the Icloud. Thanks! One last question, is there a way to open a raw image from the ipad gallery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
