thank you Dan !

Dan, I uploaded everything you ask for. To be clear, I can find the LUTs from Affinity in my LUTs location but opening a PSD or TIFF created with Photoshop and using LUTS brings me an empty layer called color lockup.

Hi everyone, Importing a PSD file works great, even for their stupid smart object BUT when importing a PSD file, the Luts are not imported! I just see a color lockup layer with nothing in there... Will that be improved in the future ? Many thanks Regards, Vladimir

CONGRATULATIONS !!!! You've done a fantastic job ! I opened a PSD file and i found everything ! I was able to export in PSD and Photoshop did read it perfectly... I had to add a lightning Live Effect ( i prefer the Affinity one!), did export in PSD and Photoshop found the new layer ... ok, it's destructive in psd but it works !!!! Thanks !

@DWright, Thanks ! I've seen this video but really is not convincing me ! Using the LM macros available in our Affinity forum, the best i could achieve is the result you'll find attached.. BUT i really hate the black borders on the foreground due to the painting back of the sky. I couldn't achieve better.... Maybe you have a best solution to blend these two pictures... PS : i could not achieve any satisfying result with the blend ranges. Why i posted the video is the really easy workflow to work with the different luminosity masks...

Hi everyone, I'm really struggling to use Luminosity masks macros i've downloaded here as shown in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myIzxxlx7Do --> Selecting a LM on a pixel layer with black mask and then paint white... that simple ! It seems so easy that way he does it . And the LM is shown even when selecting the pixel layer with the black mask... what i couldn't achieve in AF :-(( And in the video, masks are created and we can see them clearly.. in AF, we don't see them so nicely when LM are in channels. Thanks for your help !

Many thanks for your reply !

@dmstraker, Hi ! I've downloaded your macro and tried it ! ...It is awesome !!! Thank you so much ! Nevertheless i got one question... Why did you use 6 high pass filters ? is it a special technique ? I know and understand using 1 high pass but i really don't understand why 6 ? Many thanks for youer reply.

@Lee D, Honestly, i don't understand ! Since a couple of days everything works fine, even with the registry files back !!!....Thanks to you all.

@Affinidesigner, Thanks for your macro ! Very subtle... my favorite sharpening one ! Vladimir

Mark, running the exe, something like Affinity installer cannot install ....

Hi every one, Before calibrating my monitor i used to work with LR 6.14 and Affinity photo as External device. Everything worked perfectly till... I've recently calibrated my monitor with a Datacolor SpyderX and after that, i hardly use the Lightroom 6.14 publish services. ( LR slows very hard) I found the solution on that following forum :https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/ui_slowdown_listing_publish_service_collections Once i deleted all the Windows Registry files, LR works great again and publishing was not an issue anymore BUT i couldn't open Affinity photo anymore from LR nor as standalone. I uninstall Affinity but could not even install it again ! --> So, i restored the 2 Registry files and could install and use Affinity... BUT the publish service in LR struggles again... What are the files needed by Affinity there ? ... AND perhaps you know how to solve this problem and have everything working agan : Affinity, LR and his publishing services !!! [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ICM\RegisteredProfiles] "camp"="D65.camp" "ri"=dword:00000000 "riac"="MediaSim.gmmp" "rip"="Photo.gmmp" "rirc"="Proofing.gmmp" "ris"="Graphics.gmmp" AND THERE [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ICM\RegisteredProfiles] "camp"="D65.camp" "ri"=dword:00000000 "riac"="MediaSim.gmmp" "rip"="Photo.gmmp" "rirc"="Proofing.gmmp" "ris"="Graphics.gmmp" Many thanks for your help !

Is it possible to add the Auto Mask feature as existing in Lightroom which makes much more easy when dodging and burning or (any correction) a part without overflowing all around !? For this reason i am unfortunately constrained to use Lightroom for a lot of precise correction.... Or did i miss something in Affinity Photo ? Thanks.

for a strange reason, now the histogram appears when clicking on the histogram panel !

@telemax, Thanks soooooooooooo very much !!!!! Best regards, Vladimir

HI Many thanks for your answers. Here is the file of the project The histogram appeared on the whole pixel layer but when a part selected, the histogram does not appear. Win 10 Core I7, 2.5 Ghz with 8 mo RAM AF_CURVE_TEST.afphoto

@GabrielM, Sorry, yes i'm referring to the histogram in the Curves not showing up.

@telemax, Many thanks ! But if i want to add this gradient tool just on a small part of a picture ( a selected part) ? On your picture, for exemple, just the 2 first rows ? Many thanks for your help.

Hi, Are you using the latest release version? Yes 1.7.2.471 Can you reproduce it? YES (if you cannot then we may struggle to also, making it even harder to fix) Does it happen for a new document? If not do you have a document you can share that shows the problem? NEW DOC If you cannot provide a sample document then please give an accurate description of the problem for example it should include most of the following: What is your operating system and version (Windows 10, OSX Mojave, iOS 12 etc)? WIN 10 What happened for you (and what you expected to happen) Provide a recipe for creating the problem (step-by-step what you did). OPEN NEW DOC AND PASTE AN IMAGE FROM THE STOCK Screenshots (very handy) or a screen capture/video. Any unusual hardware (like tablets or external monitors or drives that may affect things) or relevant other applications like font managers or display managers. NO TABLET Did this same thing used to work and if so have you changed anything recently? (software or hardware)

if i create a mask it will work as "reveal or not" and not brighter to darker !

Hi everyone, I'm trying to achieve to use a real gradient tool (brighter to darker) on pixel selections but i don't really understand how ! For example, i got a building picture (pixel layer) and i created different channels for different selections to adjust them separately. when i load a channel to a pixel selection, i create a new fill layer or a new pixel to add a gradient. At this point the results where really bad and the effect brighter to darker does not seem to work. Thanks for your help !

Is it a bug or ? When i add a curve adjustment on a pixel layer i cannot see any curve into the curve box ( nowhere ! Nor RGB, Green, blue...) Thanks

1 Rename spare channels when macro's done 2 preview spare channels 3 Double-click on a slider to reset that slider to default/zero.

Hi everyone, Is there a chance to get one day a feature like the "auto masking" in Lightroom for the brushes. It is very annoying to overflow every time we use the brush. It would be very useful ! Thanks
