How to edit raw files with Affinity Photo 2

When thinking about processing your raw files, you might either opt for the software supplied by your camera manufacturer or the likes of Adobe Camera Raw and DxO Labs PureRAW. However, you can do all the same things in Affinity Photo 2. Simply drop your raw file into the interface (or use File > Open, if you want to use the traditional method) and it will switch to the Develop persona. Don't click on Develop in the top left until you've made all your adjustments, which is what we're going to look at here. The palette to the right has all the editing tools you need, from lens corrections to noise reduction and exposure or colour enhancements.
