Hi,

I'm trying to understand why Photo opens my black and white scans as RAW color files. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

I'm using scans from Epson Scan 3.9.4 at grayscale/16bit and saving them as .tif files with an embedded Epson 1.8 Gamma grayscale profile. 

 

Tried opening them with both Photo Beta 1.5.2 beta 5 and official release Photo 1.5.1

 

thanks,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

 

Can you PM me a link to a sample file I can test with, as long as the profile is written correctly Affinity Photo should be picking that up.

Hi.  I have been having the exact same problem with 16 bit TIFF files created on my scanner.  When I open them in Affinity, it opens them as Raw files under the development tab.  This wouldn't be a problem except that it also changes the tones and makes them unuseable.

I'm having exactly the same problem with greyscale scans saved as TIFF files from  a Nikon scanner.  Has there been any solution published?

I have a similar issue (not so much a problem). I scan images in black-and-white and save as tiffs. Affinity Photo opens them automatically and declares them to be 8-bit RGB. Wouldn't it be nice if it could handle 1-bit images?
