Mainecoon364 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 I’ve learned that when I shoot in RAW mode and apply some settings like A) Creative Filters (Toy Camera, Sepia, Black & White etc. B) Sharpness C) Picture Styles (Portrait, Architecture etc.) D) Custom White Balance on the camera. These are saved as Metadata. Which means these can be reversed or disabled on apps like (Photoshop, Affinity Photo etc.) And does NOT effect the original photo data. So let’s say I chose Toy Camera on Canon and shot. So how do I reverse, disable this setting on Affinity Photo Ipad v1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Affinity does not make use of those settings at all. When you Open the RAW image, you get only the RAW image sensor data, not the effects that are applied to the JPG version of the image that your camera can also record. So there's nothing to "reverse" or disable, as long as you Open the RAW version of the image, not the JPG version.

NotMyFault Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Some of those effects are only possible to save as jpeg, and not as RAW file. You cannot reverse those effects if you only have the jpg file.

walt.farrell Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 It's also important to make sure that you are saving from your camera as RAW or as RAW + JPG, and that when you edit the photos on your iPad you are getting the RAW version of the image. If the image opens into the Photo Persona in Affinity Photo, then you're editing the JPG version. If it opens into the Develop Persona, then you successfully got the RAW version of the file, and none of those effects are present.

Mainecoon364 Posted November 30 Author Share Posted November 30 I was already talking about RAW Images. So how can I open a photo as RAW Image on Affinity Photo and reverse those effects? Is It possible on Affinity Photo?, Affinity Photo Ipad, v2s or etc.? Is It possible on Photoshop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 Affinity Photo does ignore all these Settings A, B, C except D white balance. So no need to reverse anything in the first place. Wrt to white balance you can adjust the WB to any value you want using the sliders in develop Persona. There is no „native“ value. It is always calculated from the actual image, the Camera stores the value calculated.

Mainecoon364 Posted November 30 Author Share Posted November 30 So do I have to do White Balance again from scratch on Affinity Photo? Since I did on the Camera is disabled. (Shooting the Grey card etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 White balance is used to adjust the colors in the RAW files in a way that it best matches the human perspective of the scene, and areas who are white (in normal lighting) will look white despite the actual lighting lead to yellowing or otherwise non-white result. The Camera always calculates a white balance preset based on the settings you have chosen when taking the image, and stores this value in the RAW metadata. Affinity uses the value stored in the RAW file by default. If you don’t like the result, you can set a different white balance manually in the adjustments, or using the white balance tool. The image will have a white balance setting even if you choose a monochrome picture style, as the RAW data is still having all colors.
