BenAZPhoto Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Good afternoon, I'm looking for a setting which will enable histogram clipping warning(s) in whites and blacks when I begin the .cr2 raw edit process. My basic standard latitude image process in Bridge is: Exposure Blacks to clip then back White balance Whites to clip then back Shadows Highlights Blacks again to minor clip, then back. The clip indicator is important to me. How do I enable it? Thank you in advance, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted June 24, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi BenAZPhoto, Welcome to the forums When loading your image into Affinity Photo there are 3 options in the top left of the toolbar, these will turn on/off Highlight, Shadow & Tone cliping. I hope this helps!

Phree_ed Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I cannot get the clipping warnings to display at all. I'm in the develop persona and I can select either or both switches on for highlights and/or shadows then slide the exposure all the way up or all the way down and I never see any red highlight clipping indication or blue shadow clipping indication. The Show Clipped Tones button works but the highlight and shadows do not. Is there something I'm missing?? Note the histogram in the attached screen grabs, there should be clipping warnings. Thanks in advance Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phree_ed Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Further to the above after saving the image above then reloading it I can now successfully see the red highlight clipping warnings but still not the blue shadow warnings. Have rebooted the Mac and started everything from scratch again but still no shadow clipping warnings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted June 11, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hi @Phree_ed, Welcome to the forums and my sincerest apologies for the delayed response. Could you please upload your sample CR2 file to the following link for me, so I can check this here? https://www.dropbox.com/request/OaAOsFNvCP30zJrPMwY0 Do you know which RAW engine you're using? By default this should be Serif LABs, however you can check through View>Assistant Manager, then select Develop Assistant in the bottom corner of this dialog. Your RAW engine should be shown here. Many thanks in advance!

Phree_ed Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Thanks for the reply Dan. I wasn't too concerned about awaiting a reply because a couple of days later the clipping warnings started working. I have no idea why except to say the computers can be diabolical contraptions when they want to be 😁 Also I'm using Apple raw Because it seemed to give me better less noisy results but I probably should switch back to Serif LABs and give it another try. Cheers, Phree_ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted June 11, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 11, 2020 That's certainly very strange! I'm glad to hear this issue has since been resolved and please do let me know if you have any further trouble There should be no issue with using the Apple Core RAW engine for this, so feel free to leave this setting as-is if you prefer the Apple output!

Albert La Brador Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Can I reopen this thread as I have encountered the same problem? In my case none of the clipping warnings display. I managed to get the shadow warnings to display once using the curves adjustment but haven't been able to recreate that success. The blown highlights occasionally display as transparent areas (with the grey chequerboard scheme showing through. I'm using a Mac mini (old) and High Sierra ... could that be the problem? Restarting the Mac doesn't work. Reloading the image doesn't work. Opening new images down't work - neither my own or RAW files posted by various internet tutors. Curiously, on my similar vintage iMac with the same MacOS, I get the highlight and tones warnings but not the shadows. I'm at a loss.

NotMyFault Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Could you please check if disabling hardware acceleration (Metal) in Preferences>>Performance mitigates the issue?

Albert La Brador Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 It does! I'd read in another post that this might cause other problems, but none so far, and for the moment, it's more important for me to deal with the clippings. Thank you NotMy Fault for the prompt reply at what must be a rather early start for you. Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
