pcpanik Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 After importing my pictures (RAW+JPEG, Olympus and Panasonic) from my cameras to Apple Photos on my iPad 10,5“ Pro, Apple Photos shows the JPEG as main format, Affinity Photo for iPad allways and only shows and opens the RAW file. I can only open the RAW with develop persona, but not the JPEG. I do not want this for every picture. Instead I want to choose to open JPEG or RAW. How can I open a JPEG from my imported pictures? What is the best practice? And I really want to import both formats to my iPad. Have looked in the Help but I did not find any answer. Thank you in advance for your help.

Staff Lee D Posted January 5, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi pcpanik, Currently the Import from Photos will only display and open the RAW version of an image, even if both RAW and JPEG are available. More import options may be added in the future to allow greater control over the files imported Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mudditt Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Why both formats? if you have raw then you have everything you need surely? You can always export results as jpg without wasting your storage on having both raw and jpg initially. Quote My dad always told me, a bad workman always blames their tools….

pcpanik Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Thank you for answering. That‘s very sad and should be implemented shortly please. E.g. Photogene was able to choosebetween jpeg and raw. @pmmudditt, my iPad is my Backup on travel, so its important to me. And the ipad automaticly imports both filetypes. Which is great as a backup. And I use most of my jpeg ooc e.g. for panoramas etc. I only develop pictures if needed to do. I just do not want to develop every picture if it is not necessary.

Paul Mudditt Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 If you edit your RAW photo slightly in photos app then it becomes an optimised JPG image that you need. If you want to revert to the RAW, simply remove your edits done in photos and your file will revert to its original format, in this case RAW. Space is a premium on iPad and iCloud so I save space leaving the RAW in iCloud until I need it and having the optimised automatically created JPG on iPad. So I have both formats but only use the file space of a single file. Quote My dad always told me, a bad workman always blames their tools…. Just waiting for Ronny Pickering…..

pcpanik Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 I don't have to justify my workflow, cause of the lack of a simple and basic function in the app. It should give you the option to open what you want, and not what a programmer thinks would be better. For my workflow on the iPad on vacation in 95% of my use cases I do not need to develop the RAW and I do not want it at all, if it is not necessary. But of course I want to keep them backuped! I use Olympus and Panasonic cameras. These correct the lenses used fully automatically. This is especially for panoramas useful that I want to create with Affinity on the iPad when on vacation. Would you like to develop 6 to 10 RAWs a time just to check if your Pano-Stitch will work? The JPEGs OOC are very well usable. And the Photos App will never put that out in that quality. For me developing a RAW is only really necessary if the 8-bit processing spectrum of a JPEG is not enough. Besides, I don't want to load my pictures into a cloud at the resort and ride with little extra luggage. The iPad is a good and easy to use solution to backup until I'm back home. Cost of space is not relevant for this use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krist Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 +1 most raw converters do not retain the OOC color, some maybe close, but some are way off. And as you say, distortions are not corrected unless the software happens to have lensfun type of database for the lens and camera you are using. I don’t think AP has it. pcpanik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mudditt Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Did you try the drag and drop method in IOS 11 to see if that made any difference?

DM1 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Open AP, drag springboard up from bottom of screen and drag photos icon onto screen. You now have AP and Photos open. Select jpg and drag across until you see green plus sign then let go. AP will open the jpg. Paul Mudditt 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
