How to open portrait format images in portrait format

[edward1209]

I opened a portrait image in Affinity, but it only displays in landscape format. I created a base document in portrait format and tried to open a raw image file in that document, but it would not display. So far all portrait format raw files only display in landscape format. Why?

For some reason AP does not detect orientation data in you raw file. Generally this works ok, I have no trouble with my NEFs. You can just rotate while waiting better answer.

Yes I tried rotating the image and saving it which worked. However, when I copy content from the image into another image as a layer, the copied content displays in landscape format. Very frustrating. Thanks for the reply though.

As Fixx says, I have similar problem with DNG files during stitching, did you try it in tiff or jpg?

Hi edward1209,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Which RAW format/camera model are you using?

Staff, I was using a Fuji image loaded into LR, converted to .dng, then copied out of the LR directory outside of LR and then pasted into my Affinity source RAW folder. I then opened the .dng portrait image and did a Document, Rotate CW to make it a vertical; then did a Save As to label the image as a "vert" so I could distinguish it from the original image file. 

 

I then processed the image, did a Save As to the Affinity Processed folder (where I keep all my processed images.) I found Affinity worked fine with .tiff and .dng image files.

 

That seemed to solve my issue.

 

Thanks for asking.:)
