Gibslayer Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 So here's what it's doing. When it imports into the develop persona, for a brief moment you see the actual RAW then it appears to re-render the image as this horrific mess. How do I stop this from happening?

Alfred Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Gibslayer. How did you convert the raw data from the camera into the ‘original’ image for your screenshot? Is that just a quick capture of what you saw briefly in Affinity Photo?

Gibslayer Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 The screenshot for the Original is just the RAW straight from camera. Being displayed in Preview. It displays the same in Pixelmator, Lightroom and Photos. The screenshot for the other two is taken from the development window in Affinity Photo. When I open the image up in Affinity Photo it displays the correct RAW for a brief moment before re-rendering the file into the mess you see in the Affinity screenshots. Huge increase in contrast, saturation etc... Well you can see what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have a Mac, so I’ve never used Preview.

walt.farrell Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 What camera and lens are you using to take your photos? Since you mentioned Preview, I assume you're on a Mac. Which raw engine (Apple, or Serif) are you using. You can find that in the Develop Assistant. stokerg 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibslayer Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm using a Sony A6000 and I use vintage adapted lenses. Specifically a Minolta 28mm f/2.8 in this case. Using Apple or Serif both achieve the same issues just in different flavours. The ones in the images above are from Serif but the Apple RAW engine does the same just with different hues. Neither RAW engine displays the image as it appears in Preview, Lightroom, Capture One or Pixelmator. I've opened the same image in every other photo editor and not had this issue.

Gibslayer Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Whilst doing that has flattened the image somewhat. Area's such as that knee. Instead of displaying what should be a mild blue, it is displaying as a strong pink/purple which is still clipping. In other programs this knee isn't clipping to white.

Staff MEB Posted July 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi Gibslayer, Welcome to Affinity Forums Do you mind uploading the RAW file using this link for us to take a look please? All files will be deleted after being checked. Thank you. stokerg 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibslayer Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 I've submitted the RAW in question. However I must note this is currently happening with every RAW that goes through Affinity Photo. I tried one of my brothers Canon RAWs and it too was having this weird conversion done to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi Gibslayer, Thanks for the file. Is the image taken with you bother's camera the same type of this one (artificial lighting highlights etc)? Can you also upload it please? Sorry for the trouble, just want to check something. Thank you. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibslayer Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 I don't have access to the RAW at the moment as it's on his portable drive (He's gone off to work). Though the image did also have similar lighting to this. Strong highlights in around those shades of blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibslayer Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 No lens correction is being applied however at all. Nor does the camera know what lens is attached. So I don't really see how the lens will be an issue, it's never been an issue in the past nor is it an issue in other programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, the lens doesn't matter here, it's not a problem of lens correction. At first I thought was the ugly blue (and if I remember correctly purple) issue with Sony, I had a similar annoying issue with my A6000. But then you said it happens with the Canon as well, so it must be something different. Hope they'll figure it out.

Gibslayer Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Out of interest @verysame. Did you find a fix for the Sony issue? If the canon still has issues it doesn't bother me as I rarely use it. I just need a fix for my Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the canon still has issues it doesn't bother me as I rarely use it. I just need a fix for my Sony. If I remember correctly it wasn't exactly a fix but a workaround. Not sure if the solution was to use a different camera profile or ETTR, or a combination of both. If you Google "Sony camera highlight blue peaking issue" one of the result should point you to dvxuser forum. There's a long thread about this and at some point the workaround is mentioned. Let me know if you don't find and I'll look up.
