Thank you all for comment. The answer to my query appears to be rather as I suspected. For my purposes the issue is not too important but one wonders why Nikon made higher ISOs available in their D7000 if the results of using them are not what they might be.
-
I was just curious to know if different models of cameras using the same lens/lens settings, the same aperture/shutter speed/image size etc etc, produced images with different levels of noise/graininess, using the same ISO. My friend, who also uses a D7000, suggested that was the case, that the D7000 became 'noisy/grainy' at a lower ISO than did some other cameras, ceteris paribus so to speak.

Not entirely an Affinity query but do some camera models produce more grainy images than others using the same ISO setting? I was talking to a colleague who was using the same Nikon D7000 as I do and he suggested that was the case. Judicious use of Affinity tools can improve results but only to a limited extent. Chris

I recently tried to 'stitch' together two halves of a photo, that had once been cut in two, using the 'Panorama' feature but the latter did not recognise the - to me - obvious matching of the images. The photo includes a sky/sea horizon and features on the shore, lower down, that should have been recognised as matching in both halves. The cut was not neat as the photo was quite old, ie. not freshly cut, but there was very little content missing requiring serious repairs. Can panoramas be formed only if two images 'overlap' each other? Obviously there was no overlap in this case. Chris

Thanks to you both. I will follow your advice and see what happens.

I have downloaded Affinity V2 and it works nicely. Is there any reason why I should not delete the earlier version V1? Images created in the past with V1 pop up with the V1 software but do not if they are not accessed directly using the V2 screen (''Open [XXX]''). Chris

You certainly have to be careful on this support website. Searching for subjects such as 'discolouration' yields quite a different set of articles from different contributors than follows if 'discoloration' is entered in the box. Perhaps the software could be tweaked to accommodate both sides of the Atlantic - and elsewhere - together. Chris

Can someone help? Old photos, negatives or prints, frequently have part of their images discoloured, uniformly, by either being printed on poor quality paper or, more often, by being partly sandwiched between other paper/material for extended periods, the (differential) staining or fading only affecting the particular area covered. How does one change the shade etc of the offending area in order to match the part not affected by the discolouration or fading (from then on one can obviously restore the image in its complete form)? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Chris (example enclosed)

Many thanks indeed. I did not know where to look and only vaguely what i was looking for! Still in the foothills. -
new laptop
Chris Andreae replied to Chris Andreae's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Problem solved - I think. I found the account/downloads page. the record of my downloading it originally was right at the bottom. I think i have got it now but thank you for your trouble! -
I have just bought a new laptop and would like to download Affinity on it. I have and account and a product key/code. How do I go about it? The old laptop is redundant - in every sense (Affinity was VERY slow on it so hopefully the new one will be better). Many thanks Chris

template for images
Chris Andreae replied to Chris Andreae's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thank you both. I will see how I get on and may come back to you if I get stuck! -
I am sure this is an easy one. I wish to set out a lot of different photos on to an A4 sheet in grid form, that I can cut out easily when printed. The photos themselves are different sizes/proportions and can obviously be clipped and re-sized to fit the spaces but they need to be the same size when printed, rather like a sheet of passport photos. What is the easiest way of doing this? Any thoughts appreciated. Chris

keyboard pop-up
Chris Andreae replied to Chris Andreae's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thank you for replying. All the MS onscreen keyboard settings are off (as above). Which is why I wonder if there is an Affinity setting that needs switching off.
