Yes. Highlight Tone Priority protects highlights by withholding ISO lightening from the analog sensor signal (shows in raw file) and instead applies that withheld lightening, with a moderated tone curve, in the image processor. DPP, and Elements read the tag in the EXIF data and apply a compensation similar to what the camera does. Affinity ignores the EXIF tag. Highlight Tone Priority is unusual in that it's a JPEG adjustment function that also has a permanent effect on the raw file.
Well, thank you, thank you and thank you again. I found the setting turned it off and took some test shots around the house. The 2 files now look the same with regards to exposure anyway. Such a simple fix but I would never have figured out. Thanks again.

So you’re saying that if I turn that feature off in the camera that would eliminate the difference in the images?

Yes, that is the raw image and can be downloaded. I use PS Elements and it opened fine (and properly exposed) in Adobe Camera Raw. No help re Affinity, but just wanted to assure you the raw is attached to your opening post.
Thank you. I wasn’t sure. Not surprised that it opened ok in your software.

I've attached 2 photos. Same pic, one Raw the other jpg out of my Canon 80D. If I open this photo (or view thumbnails) in Widows or the Canon DPP Raw editor (and thumbnails), both files look basically the same. When I open the Raw file in Affinity Photo 2 the Raw image is severely underexposed. For those familiar with Affinity, I have to move the exposure slider 1.5-2.5 to get the photo to look the same as the jpg. I'm curious to see what they look like after attaching them here, but I'm guessing they will look similar, meaning what you would expect. I don't know if the problem will show up here. If you use Affinity, perhaps you could download and view them yourself. I had the same problem occasionally with Affinity 1 but it seems more prevalent with 2. I contacted Affinity and they made some suggestions, turning off tone curve in develop assistant, which I tried. And they also gave me a lot of info I really didn't quite understand about Serif Lab Engines.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure, but on my attachments I see it says "non-image attachment". Not sure if you can attach RAW files, but I just don't know.

Wow. I never realized this was that big an issue. I have a multiport USB on the PC. The camera cable is always there, plugged in. I connect the camera. Canon software pops up an automatically downloads the latest pics. I never take the card out of the camera. 500 pics (raw + Jpg), so 1,000 takes a couple of minutes. Really no strain on the camera battery.

Why not just reduce sharpening in the camera settings? The second one appears to have had a touch of HDR or something??
Cant see any problem with the first one. Nice portrait. Doesn't look oversharp to my old eyes.
edit: What happened there? You changed the second photo while I was answering.
edit: the, now, colour second photo looks good to me, focused on the clarinet.

I think that’s a saprano or alto sax.

Takes me 14-12 minutes to process a picture using Topaz Sharpen AI whether I use automatic or standard settings. Takes 2-4 minutes using Topaz Denoise AI using standard. Is this normal?
A lot depends on your graphics card, RAM, etc. I use both programs also. DeNoise mostly. But yes. DeNoise works much faster than sharpen. I don’t have a great graphics card and DeNoise takes about 1 minute. Sharpen upwards of 4-5 minutes.

I just realized why. I import using canon software. It automatically gives me a folder on my desktop with both files in it. I guess that’s what you meant by a cataloguer. My bad.

I have a canon. I have win 10. When I import the photos I use file explorer to open them. I get 2 files for each shot. A CR2 and a jpg.

I shoot both and I don’t know why. 90% of my photos are indoors, gymnastics, HS hockey. Usually poor lighting, high ISO’s. I can’t ever remember processing a jpeg even when the shot needs little or no adjustments. Still process the RAW file. Think I’ll change my mode to RAW only.

This is fascinating. I think it’s the longest I’ve ever stayed on one thread. 😊😊

Country’s going down the tubes. What tubes? I don’t see no tubes. .
And how come there’s more than one tube.
