dronecrasher Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 what is the red light? i used manual focus with a red peaking but why does it glow in my raw file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted October 8, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 8, 2018 Could you expand a bit more on the glowing, are you referring to the depth of field? Have you enabled Show Clipped Highlights on the Preferences menu as these display in red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronecrasher Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 No I have not selected the clipped highlights / shadows but even in the unedited raw file it shows the red dots. I’ve never seen such “noise” and since I underexposed the shot a bit - the moment I increase the exposure it becomes more red and clearly glows like an led Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted October 8, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 8, 2018 The OP is referring to the red dots on the shadow area below the circles (touching the context toolbar). You have to view the image in full screen to notice them. dronecrasher 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted October 8, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 8, 2018 Can you provide a link to that particular RAW file and which version of iOS are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Lee D Posted October 8, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 8, 2018 Thanks for the link, it would seem it's down to the way the Apple RAW engine built into iOS is reading the file. I've just opened the file using Affinity Photo on macOS as the RAW engine can be swapped between the Apple engine built into macOS and our SerifLABS engine. The Apple engine on macOS has the same issues with that file whereas ours doesn't, unfortunately the iPad versions RAW engine can't be swapped, it was designed to use the built in one.

Thanks for your quick response Lee. I understand what you are saying and I was always wondering what the pros and cons are switching the engines on my Affinity macOS version? Also, when I load it in macOS the histogram gives me a triangle warning 'coarse histogram' . what does that mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronecrasher Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 btw, when i open the raw file in Affinity (mac) and hit develop and airdrop the afphoto file to my ipad it does not show the red dots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
