Opening a raw image

You can open raw images from your digital camera directly into Affinity Photo. In doing so, you'll be able to process the unprocessed image, deciding for yourself how your image is to be developed.

For a comprehensive up-to-date list of RAW file support, please see the following links:

Processing raw images is carried out exclusively within Affinity Photo's Develop Persona. Once you commit to how you want to your image to be developed, the image can then be worked on in other Personas.

To open a raw image:
  1. From Affinity Photo's Home screen, select one of:
    • Open From Cloud or Import From Cloud—accesses your local and online cloud storage (e.g., iCloud). Note that not all cloud storage options support identification and downloading of RAW images.
    • Import From Photos—accesses your Photos library. RAW images are identified with a RAW tag on the thumbnail.
    • Import From Camera—captures a RAW image with the iPad's in-built camera and opens it in Develop Persona.

Once tapped, the raw image is loaded into Develop Persona for processing.
