you definitely want to look into curves because this is just the single most important thing where most other adjustments are a mere subset of curves (which is especially true for levels)
working through this example was what helped me to grasp it, but it takes effort, but it's worth it
hope that helps
cheers
PS
if you are really just beginning to understand, a quick look at this overview will probably clear up some terminology ....
... and incase it does not, leave a comment

handoff will eventually be enabled when apple gets their...together see here
more specifically

maybe one day tethered on iPad he?
but the DAM for desktop is also already in the waiting queue
because there apparently is some demand

hope you find that interesting as well

all colors are in the gamut of the current working profile
to see colors which may get los on export or on your display use a soft proof adjustment layer
further specific information on affinity color management
hope this helps
cheers
PS:
similar request exists for painting color harmony though
-
same on desktop
the option as of now is to use
cheers
hope that helps

although some find it not good that there is not one license for different platforms
lol
cheers

yes definitely interested in the coding part although the ZIP has some issues on my side
-
actually a cool effect, how did you discover that?
maybe add this to some sort of list and release it someday/ update it?
nice to see such experiments
cheers keep it up

I attempted to make a comprehensive list of Dodge & Burn options here with explanations and a PDF maybe you can skim through and see if it helps
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/37832-the-one-guide-to-all-dodge-burn-optns/
(maybe drop a comment if you have one)
otherwise:
what is specifically the advantage of your method/ the disadvantage of the alternative you currently use?
AP has a history brush AFIK but I've never used it cause I think there are already other great straight forward tool there (see the other post linked)
hope that helps
cheers
-
So you are afraid that AP becomes PS performance wise?
we are talking just about a shortcut, enhancing workflow and not a brand new option/ any real sort of involving implementation
-
Can you try AD latest beta?
i think they fixed something like this and AP just has less frequent public builds for whatever reason.

If it did, it would most likely significantly increase the amount of memory the app needed, causing a lot of paging to VM on systems without lots of RAM installed, which in turn would adversely affect performance. I do not know if this is why such a feature has not been implemented but it is something to consider.
You do not understand what VM is and constantly build up strawmans (and contradict yourself _ ap uses less memory, ap would need too much memory _)
you do not Page to VM
VM is always used to make ram usage more efficient and programmers life easier by reducing fragmentation and avoiding memory limits
Maybe think about being a bit more restrictive throwing around terms and thoughts
from a pure workflow point of view:
Duplicate makes more sense because you can duplicate and then later decide to save with „save“ shortcut
using „save as“ you can only save and then decide to delete the file, but it has already been saved
...both have a certain advantage depending on if you tend to save or tend to discard changes
...another option though would be to make snapshots faster/ completely accessible using keyboard shortcuts to allow quick experiments (much like using git where a new branch requires no wasted/duplicated memory) but maybe that would still leave something desired for s former PS user? I don‘t know.
the devleopers probably just are not aware, there is no such thing as memory or processing power difficulties in a two year old app
most of the times the developers are either busy or not aware, there are very! rare occasions where hardware/ software is the limit
another part which shows that processing power/ Hardware/ concurrency is not even completely utilised is this:
(by utilised I do not mean that my processor is idle but that AP puts constraints on my workflow that are imposed by the developers and not by the hardware)
If you export a picture using the file> export the whole UI is locked up and one can not modify other pictures
clearly not a constraint of my pc as I can have AP and APbeta running alongside without issue while one is exporting something and the other working just fine

it isnt once you make a shortcut on your mac to that address. I made a "Ipadpro" folder in Documents, and can save files straight to it from ipad-photo and then retrieve it to the desktop through the shortcut.

Unless I am doing something stupid two things happen. Frstly, when the picker is placed over the sampler and moved, the L reading for the sampler changes and you have to move the sampler in order for the small circle to appear on the curve which marks where the manipulation is needed. Secondly, the values read when the picker moves appear to be the values at the cursor as it moves within the curves adjustment layer.
here is a short video
hope this clears it up/ makes it work for you
(I think the A opponent changes because my document is in RGB and not LAB so there are some mapping things going on)
-
Yeah 3x3 would be better
therefore I posted the link to the request
Yeah just place a Sampler (Drag and drop) and change it to display LAB and add a curves adjustment, select L channel, use the picker at the place of the sampler and drag up/down
you move the picker of the curves adjustment and read the value from the info panel
hope that helps
-
You can add your voice here to be able to adjust the sampler size
Currently the sampler only samples one pixel
(I do not understand your second question, what do you want to accomplish/ need to know?)

other people seem to like Pixelmator obviously though, it may be easier to use for some (simple) workflows
that is how to get featured by apple
but here is AP iPads own commercial:

Affinity Publisher

based on the "features" of High Sierra you can just as well not upgrade though
(unless you constantly duplicate huge files or "use" the photos app)
really curious if we really see Pub this year, I think it was announced ( I honestly don't even know anymore ) but seems so surreal that this really is going to be released one day
once it is released I will be looking at a solid visual remake of these tutorials
