atlen Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi there, I have Affinity Photo 1.6.5.135 version (Windows 10). Opening Canon CR2 raw file not get a correct histogram. It is at the left side but the picture was taken with the right exposure. The picture is very dark. Raw file coming from Canon 7D mark II. Any suggestion? Thank you for your help.

IanSG Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The histogram on the left looks like a long standing problem with the Develop persona - it's been fixed in the 1.7 beta. Is the Develop Assistant applying a tone curve? Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlen Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hi IanSG, Thank you for your answer. I have tried both Tone curve options. Apply tone curve gives a little bit brighter picture, also the histogram moved to the right a little bit. With Take no action still dark. So hope that the version 1.7 will handle the Canon Raw file correctly. BR Attila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datkan Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hi, I'm having the same problem with canon raw files (1Dm4). The new 1.7beta version does not fix the dark preview, it only shows a better histogram. I have included some screenshots of a raw file opened in Affinity Photo (1.6/1.7b) and other programs (Photoshop/Luminar/IrfanView) to show the difference (the picture I used isn't great but serves it purpose :) Cheers Datkan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Do you have Take no Action set in the Develop Assistant? If so, your RAW file will appear dull. With a RAW image open in the Develop Persona, open the Develop Assistant, and change it to Apply Tone Curve, and you'll see the image brighten.

Datkan Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 @Ron P. It doesn't make a difference either way. The only option that seems to do something in regard to brightness is the Raw output format: if on 32 bit it gets even darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datkan Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Correction: it does do something now (don't know why it didn't before: screen refresh maybe?) but since it was already on when I took the screenshots, they are showing the brightest image already.
