Solantil Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 All Raw-Files from my EOS 6D mark II are pink. Older Files from my 70D are correct so it seem, Affinity can't handle the files from from the 6D II Photos and PS have no problems with theses files.

Staff MEB Posted October 14, 2017 Staff Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hi Solantil, Welcome to Affinity Forums Currently Affinity Photo doesn't support the EOS 6D mark II neither using our RAW engine (Serif Labs) not Apple (Core Image RAW). Hopefully us or Apple (or both) should add support for it soon. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solantil Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Thank you for this answer. So I have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFromMesa Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 > So I have to wait Or you can use the Adobe raw converter to convert the files to dng for the meantime. APB should process those files without any trouble, and the dng converter is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi, any updates on Affinity Photo being able to work with Canon 6d Mark 2 raw files? Mine shows the pink overlay as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solantil Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 After 3 months there is still no support for this camera. The Apple core image raw engine supports the raw files of the 6D II but in affinity they are still with a pink overlay. Is there a way to use the Apple engine instead the one from Affinty? And, what takes a so long time to support this camera? It‘s out for more then a half year now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 4, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi Solantil, If you are running macOS High Sierra you can change Affinity Photo's the engine to Apple (Core Image RAW): with the RAW image opened in Develop Persona go to menu View ▸ Assistant Manager... and change the first dropdown (RAW Engine) to Serif Labs. Reload the image for the new setting take effect. The RAW file should now load correctly. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarin.asanth Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi, when comes the RAW driver for the Canon 6D Mark II for the iMac ??? Why it took so much time. In magazines we only can read this the support of Affinity should be so involved. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more better is to use for raw file the original Canon Digital Photo Professional 4, which you have free with your camera => better quality, posibility to change Picture Style in DPP4, etc. etc. DPP is also better than Adobe Bridge. Save as tiff file after development in DPP4 and then use AP, which is for after job better than Photoshop. This is the best process for Canon raw, without any stupid Adobe tool. :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought Lightroom 6 for the RAW part instead of the CC and I'm happy at the moment with the results. I give a 16 bit TIFF sRGB to Affinity and it works. What do you think about this? I never used the Canon Software but I have it on the iMac. Do you think that it's better quality with RAW than Lightroom 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My job is also a reproduction of paintings, graphics, etc. I use mainly Canon EOS 5D III and professional lenses. In the past I used Photoshop and Adobe Camera raw. Adobe had a very good result, but you cannot change Picture style and other specific Canon staff. But now I canceled all Adobe SW and use only Canon DPP 4 for development and then Affinity Photo. Excelent! In DPP: 1. white balance, 2. lens correction, 3. raw cropping (with some additional edges), 4. change Picture style (in my job mainly to Fine Detail), 5. try contrast, then save as tiff 16 bit, 300 dpi, Wide Gamut RGB. Then in AP a lot of adjustments also in Wide Gamut - in Photo persona, Liquify persona, etc. Export to pdf in CMYK or tif in Wide Gamut or jpg in RGBs... I love AP, but for Canon raw development I use only Canon SW :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
