RAW Development problem

[Gregorius]

I'm trying to develop a Panasonic (GX80) RAW file in Affinity Photo Windows Beta. The scene is of a beech hedge in Autumn, so lots of vivid colours!

 

When I load the file, the colour balance is way off - in particular, leaves that should be brown/copper are a lurid shade of bright deep pink. I understand from earlier posts that Affinity does no processing before displaying RAW files (in contrast to other apps), but I cannot get the colours to look anything like real-life when I play around with all the controls in RAW develop persona.

 

I have also loaded the file into RawTherapee and I get what I expect after resetting all the controls - the normal sort of washed out appearance. Also, I note that the histograms in RawTherapee and Affinity disagree; it's as if they are different photos!

 

Other than that, I'm having great fun with Affinity!

Hi Greg,

 

Sorry for the delay!

 

I've grabbed a few test images of that camera and i don't see a massive difference in the colour balance.

 

Any chance you can attach the image you are opening so I can look into a bit further?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

I've put the original RAW plus a jpeg produced from RawTherapee (with defaults settings) in a dropbox folder:

Using the image Gregorius posted, this is what I see in the RAW screen.

 

Certainly quite different to the sample .jpg also supplied.
