Saijin_Naib Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 It would appear that there is still the possibility that Affinity Photo can have issues with the color/gamut when developing certain RAW files. I know this was a big issue addressed in the v1.5 update as referenced here, but it would appear that there is still work that could be done to improve this behavior. In all of the test photos, only Fuji RAW File Converter 3.x (SilkyPix 8.x engine) correctly rendered the color of the subject (ring) and didn't clip the colors. RawTherapee, DarkTable, LightZone, and CaptureOne v11 (Fuji) rendered it cool blue. All images are rendered with all processing off/neutral/default to ensure consistency. For the Affinity Photo HDR and Median Stack images, I used a DCRAW script to dump both subframes from the RAF and composited them accordingly. As you can see, the development result is far superior to what the Serif RAW engine can produce.

Saijin_Naib Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Here are examples from other RAW processing engines to compare to. Not all fared well, and as noted above, only RFC rendered it correctly. DarkTable clipped a bit, visually similar to the RAW import on Affinity Photo. CaptureOne rendered the left side of the ring brighter, as it should have been, but the color was completely wrong. SilkyPix nailed the color, brightness, everything. Except the processing defaults make the image look like mush due to the excessive smoothing.

Saijin_Naib Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Affinity Photo Beta for Windows 1.7.0.178 (RAW Develop) All Assistant functions turned off, 32bit HDR as before. Shadow detail is recovered better, color is slightly more accurate and now the X-S1 Lens Profile is applied properly, but clipping is still a massive problem.

Saijin_Naib Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Affinity Photo Beta for Windows 1.7.0.184 (RAW Develop) All Assistant functions turned off, 32bit HDR as before. Shadow detail is recovered better, color is slightly more accurate and now the X-S1 Lens Profile is applied properly, but clipping is still a massive problem. The image appears to be unchanged from the Beta 178 rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a moderator will split this, but if not you should repost in the correct beta forum. Perhaps you missed that this is an extant issue with the RAW engine that predates the beta and that I am keeping a consolidated log of changes in processing behavior in this single thread while referencing it in the appropriate Beta forum. I hope it isn't split as the ability to easily compare rendering across the various engines and versions will become more difficult. walt.farrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saijin_Naib Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Affinity Photo Beta for Windows 1.7.0.209 (RAW Develop) All Assistant functions turned off, 32bit HDR as before. Shadow detail is recovered better, color is slightly more accurate and now the X-S1 Lens Profile is applied properly, but clipping is still a massive problem. The clipping, however, does appear to be reduced compared to the v184 beta and v189? beta. I'm not sure what changes have occurred, but this appears to be headed the right direction.
