Using DxO PureRaw with Affinity Photo

- DxO PureRAW produces clean, high quality RAW data that can be imported into Affinity Photo for better initial image quality.
However, Affinity Photo will try and apply its lens-based corrections and noise reduction on top of PureRaw's. Learn how to disable these by default if all your RAW processing is going through PureRAW first.

How did you link DxO PureRaw4 with Affinity Photo 2? I tried and I get an error saying the system can't access the file (AffinityPhoto2.exe).
Run affinity and open task manager.. copy and paste the location of the exe into dx0
Hi James, I tried dxo pr earlier in the year when 3 was released. Thanks for sharing about problems on sharpening that was one of my complaints, the other is magenta highlights from fuji raw conversions, has this now been resolved?
Hi William, sorry for the late reply, do you mean magenta highlights when opening the DNG files in Affinity Photo? If so, this has been fixed as of 2.1-if there’s a separate issue with highlights when using Fuji cameras in PureRAW I’m afraid I don’t know about that, apologies!
Cant understand why in win 11 when pure raw4 passes the completed dng over to linked affinity on my system it doesnt actually open it like your showing.. I have to manually file-open .. Which seems to defeat the point
Interesting! I am using DxO PhotoLab together with Affinity Photo for years. I however have CR2 Raw files from my Canon and use 32 Bit Tiffs as an intermediate format. I wonder whether there is a way to use raws as well in AP. Why do I do this? DxO has a really good intelligent noise correction.
Hi, I think (don't quote me on this) you can export linear DNGs from PhotoLab, so you could feasibly use the same workflow as PureRAW here. I may have been confusing it with Capture One, but if you try an export menu somewhere and choose RAW/DNG it should export a corrected version of the RAW data for you to open and develop in other software. Worth a try!
[Edit] Yes, it does, see userguides.dxo.com/photolab/en/exporting-images/
Quote: "Export to DNG (denoising & optical corrections only): The linear DNG created here includes only DxO noise reduction and lens flaw correction using a DxO Optics Module. You can choose this option if you want to take advantage of the best of DxO technologies while processing and cataloguing your images in Adobe Lightroom Classic.*"
@@JamesRitson Just looked it up. Yes, PhotoLab can export DNGs in two versions. I still need to find out, if there is a difference to the tiffs I usually use.
Great video. Is DxO available for iPad Pro?
I'm afraid not it seems! Looks like you would have to process your RAW files on desktop, then transfer them to iPad...
Wondering why a DNG over a TIFF? Thank you for any replies. I'm still using LR6 & AP V1.8.?? & usually use a TIFF file. I'll probably upgrade my software when & if I purchase a new camera or forced to because it not working on the OS. = probably means a new computer also! Man photography is expensive!
Hi , Affinity had an update recently, nobody talks about it, is it a minor update?
Does this mean that developing RAW files with DxO is better than using Affinity's native RAW development?
Yes, but not just Affinity Photo's: DxO's ML debayering and noise reduction is very good compared to other RAW developers as well. It's a great pre-processing solution. Some images can be slightly lacking in 'texture', but it's very useful for smaller sensor cameras (I shoot on micro four thirds).
@@JamesRitson Thank you for sharing the video and this information, James. I noticed that sometimes Canon's DPP4 develops certain RAW files better than Affinity, but it depends on the nature of the image. In other cases, I do prefer to do everything straight in Affinity. I'm currently shooting mostly full frame so I suppose I don't need to invest in DxO for pre-developing files.
Hi James. I have been using Affinity Photo for years and as of last year DxO Pureraw 2. I had no problem sending my images from DxO to Affinity photo. I just picked up Affinity Photo 2 and I can't find any info or videos on how to set up DxO with Affinity Photo 2. Do yoy have a video on how you did this? Or can you point me in the right direction so I can get this to work. Thanks 👍
I find sharpening in PureRaw a lot more natural than Affinity.
