Moogster Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I am a total beginner at photography and editing so forgive my lack of using technical terms. My issue is that I have been using Affinity for a few weeks and everything has been fine. Now suddenly when I open a new photo to edit, it looks nothing like the original photo. It already looks edited (and awfully at that). I haven't saved any presets as far as I know. I just want to be able to open my photo and have it look like the original unedited version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted March 1, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hi Moogster and Welcome to the Forums, Are you using Affinity on Windows or Mac? Also can you share a screenshot of the image outside of Affinity and one inside of Affinity. Lastly, if you could also attach the image in question, we can look into this further.

R C-R Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Could you be a bit more specific about how your photos look edited, like if they are blurry or the colors are off? If the former, are you viewing them at 100% size in Affinity? If the latter, it could be a color profile issue.

Moogster Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 I am using Affinity on Windows. When I open the new photo, the colors are off. I have tried adjusting the color profile with no luck. The first image below s the original image, the way it looks on my camera and any other program I use to open photos on my computer. The image beneath that is the way it looks when I open it in Affinity before making any adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogster Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 I have been using Affinity for a couple weeks and had no issues. Now suddenly when I open a new photo, it appears as if unwanted edits have already been made. I am using Affinity on Windows. When I open the new photo, the colors are off.

HVDB Photography Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 When I open the original image, it looks identical. But, ICC profile and Metadata are not embedded ! it's better do the test with the original, non edited version . Camera type ? AP software version ?

Staff stokerg Posted March 7, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 7, 2018 Are these JPG or RAW files? Could you upload the original unedited image to out dropbox here If it's a RAW file, i'd always expect some difference when viewing it in different apps, as we all use different RAW engines and apply different auto-corrections. @Moogster I've merged this post with the 1st post you made one this issue. Just to keep everything together in the 1 thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogster Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 These are RAW files. I have not had this issue previously. Until now every photo I opened in Affinity looked "normal" and unedited. I have not see this much variation in the RAW photos between my camera and Affinity before. Per your request I have uploaded the original unedited photo to the dropbox link. Thanks for looking into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
