Hello Everyone, I'm looking for advice on using Affinity Photo to duplicate the results of the Snapseed HDR Scape tool. This tool uses one photo and creates some pretty good results. But, I'd like a little more control and would like to do this in my Affinity workflow. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd like to first see if I can do what is needed in Affinity. As a fall back I can continue to do this in my ancient CS2 install but that's not ideal.

Dan, OK, I got the files to upload (made them smaller). The hair flip shot was impossible in AF but quick in PS CS2. The still requires lots of refining in AF but still misses some stray hair, but the color selection tool leaves the hair in PS. Thanks for your thoughts! Scott

Hi Dan, There seems to be some problem uploading files (-200 error). Any ideas? Right off, when compared to the green screen in James' post mine is much more subdued. I went to my local photography store, bought green chroma key paper and took that to Home Depot and had them match it. Regardless, the Photoshop Select Color range tool works flawlessly. Scott

Hello James, I dowloaded the zip. How do I install the tools into Affinity?

Hello! I'm transitioning from Photoshop (CS2) and loving Affinity Photo so far. But, I do a lot of portraits in front of green screens and am having some issues. My workflow in PS was to select the green screen with the select-color range tool and then mask or delete it. It had a sensitivity setting that worked flawlessly at getting just the green screen. But using the same method (select-sampled color) in Affinity Photo selects way too much of my subject including the hair& face. And the selection brush & flood select tool miss too much hair even when refining the selection. Is there some way to get the select sampled color tool to work like PS' select color range? It's really the only thing keeping me from totally leaving PS. Thanks!
