MikeFromMesa Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I am not sure that this post belongs in the beta or regular AP forum, or even sure if it should be in either, but I think it may be an AP issue and I did want to raise visibility in case it is a real issue. Topaz is marketing an app called JPG to RAW that users can use to create dng files from jpg images. While I don't know exactly what it does to the jpg to produce a dng, and I do not know if the resulting image is any different or better than what the free Adobe DNG converter produces, I did want to give it a try. I generally shoot in raw so ignored this app when it was first released, but tried it yesterday out of curiosity. I do shoot my backup photos in jpg so there is that, and my Olympus E-M1.2 does automatic de-fishing of images I take with my 8mm fisheye, but those images are (of course) jpgs so I might have some use for it. In any case I loaded the resulting dng file into Photoshop ACR opened it and the auto-adjust looked just fine. I did not have to do anything. I then loaded it into Affinity Photo (both the regular and the Beta) and got a terribly over-exposed image. When I tried to compensate by lowering the exposure (2+ stops) the result was badly tinted as well. You can see both screen shots here (PS) and here (APB). As I said I do not know that this is an AP/APB bug but thought the developers at Serif might want to know. I would be happy to send the actual dng image if desired.

Staff MEB Posted May 29, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 29, 2019 Hi MikeFromMesa, Do you mind attaching/providing the DNG generated by Topaz? I'm installing Topaz JPG to RAW and will check on my system as well. Thanks.
