  1. I made some curves adjustments for AD and AP which I'd like to share with you.

     

    the attached Affinity file features embedded documents so that you can easily preview the effect of all curves on a single photo and then choose a curve that fits best/ gives you a good starting point/ idea.

     

    You can add them to your AP though opening the document, selecting each group, selecting the "curves" adj, so that it's panel opens up, click "add preset". (I've made a feature request to make that easier)

    You can then access them by the "view > studio > adjustments" panel which is active by default (only available in AP)

     

    please don't overdo it  :) 

    blend modes, opacity and blend ranges can, and should be adjusted upon your needs   :)

     

    for more information about such techniques you can have a look over here

    cheers

     

    PS:   similar presets for the "channel mixer" are available here

    PS: similar presets for "LUT" adj. are available here

     

    PS: here is a great resource to really understand curves

     

     

     

     

     

     

    EDIT:

    just added some Black and White adjustments too FWIW  ;)

  2. when you click "add preset" and the layer has a name, AP/ AD should use that name of the layer and pre-enter it into the name field of the new preset, it should be highlighted (like when you go cmd + l in your browser) so that "enter" just creates that preset and "typing sth. new" would override that predefined name 

     

    thanks

    These are a bit "Instagram like" so please don't overdo it, blend modes, opacity and blend ranges can, and should be adjusted upon your needs  :)

  4. the calibrated monitor thing is irrelevant because we're talking about differences between AP and PS on the same PC

    not differences between PC and Print 

     

    if you apply the ICC up front or later is a choice of workflow and comes with certain advantages or disadvantages but it is both a workflow that should produce consistent results with other software that claims to utilize the same precision in color management 

     

    furthermore calibrated monitors are not the only way to get good colors and calibrated monitors alone don't suffice either but that is not the point here
