Develop Persona does not save Detail Refinements - Why?


Recommended Posts

When I open a RAW file in Develop (Affinity Photo) one of the first things I adjust are the Detail Refinements, the sharpening tool. When I then click Develop at the top left, all my adjustments are saved except for the Details Refinements... Any changes made to e.g. exposure or color are developed, just not the sharpening.

I'm new to Affinity so maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it seems odd anyway. Any suggestions?

For a long time I was convinced that developed images were slightly softer - I ended up comparing a saved .afphoto with the same sharpened but undeveloped image in the Develop persona and found they were identical.  Even knowing that I still see the same effect!

Unfortunately, this isn't the case when I do it... The sharpening effect is lost every time I hit the Develop button. I tried and tried, it just doesn't keep it. It's strange and very frustrating, since RAW files very often need sharpening. Am I the only one having this issue? Could it be it has something to do with the type of RAW file I develop (.ORF, the Olympus format)?

I actually completely re-installed Affinity, which made no difference. I'm nearing the point that I'm starting to regret buying Affinity, to be honest. Developing RAW files was the main reason to purchase Affinity.

Hello, 

I am having this same issue now and it does not look like there is a simple solution. Tried with raw files and jpeg files and detail refinements are still not being saved.

I would appreciate some help urgently.

Thanks.

Do you evaluate it at Zoom 100%?
