Expanded, this is what it all means 100% Radius in Detail Refinement (DR) in the Develop Persona is the equivalent of 5 pixel Radius in Unsharp Mask (UM) in the Photo Persona 100% Amount in Detail Refinement (DR) in the Develop Persona is the equivalent of Factor of 2 in Unsharp Mask (UM) in the Photo Persona

Thank you, this is most helpful!! (And BTW no offence taken)

I have tested but am unsure because of my eyesight

Oops! I forgot to indicate Unsharp Mask in Photo Persona.

I've been trying to better understand Pre- vs Output sharpening (as per Nik Collection RAW Presharpener / Output Sharpener) but using Affinity Photo. In the Develop Persona, Detail Refinement has both Radius and Amount as percents (0-100). On the other hand, in the Photo Persona, Radius is in pixels (0-100) and Factor ranges from 0-4. Two questions: 1) since Radius in both is 1-100 can I assume that e.g., 5% in DP is equivalent to 5 pixels in PP, and 2) can I assume that an Amount of e.g., 25% in DP is equivalent to a Factor of 1 (25% of 4) in PP?

Rasterize and Trim works for me running Catalina 10.15.5, Affinity Photo 1.8.4 and latest Topaz AI plugins.

Got it, THANKS!!

I've suddenly developed a weird blue 'o' and 'x' joined by a red line when I use the paint brush (see picture) in Affinity Photo. It is not related to brush size or type. I'm on a Mac OS10.15.5. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

This is excellent. Thank you so very much Hubert. I'll try and duplicate your steps and get back to you if I have any problems.

Good point. Here's an unedited image that illustrates the sort of water situation I'm dealing with.

I am working on replacing the sky in a number of photos with water bits along with the land and want to correct how the sky (now replaced) is reflected in these. I've searched for methods to do this in Affinity Photo via Goggle and in this forum but have so far been unsuccessful in finding any information. Does anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to do this? Thank you.

Aha!! That's got it. My file was actually nnnn.afmacro. Loaded it into the desktop AP then exported as nnnn.afmacros then installed on iPad no problem from Files app. Thanks very, very much.

Yes I’ve tried that. It does not work. That’s what the “A’s described above” was referring to.

No it's not but as I said if I then try to Share the .afmacros file, Affinity Photo is not available in the Share Menu (including not available in the "More" part.

I too am trying to add a macro (as well as some LUTs) to AP iPad 1.7.2. I have tried to import into AP as described above but the .afmacros file is greyed out in I Cloud within the Files app. I also have tried to Share the file from within the Files app but copying to AP is not one of the available options. Is there something I’m missing here? Is there a way to include AP as an option for sharing? BTW I’m running iOS 12.4.1 on an iPad Air 2.
