Color Blind Photographer

To follow up, I found a web site which, when the RGB numbers are entered, the name of the color and hue are given. See attached photo.- 13 replies

In AP I thought there was a way to determine shades or zones of gray in photo. I thought I had used such tool before. But I can't find a way check it now. Can anyone know of a way to determine if photo covers the zones 1-10? Of course, zones 1 & 10 should be avoided. Thanks.

Kurt: I read your post. I have a hard time understanding or following what you are trying to say. I am reading again and looking at other info about the LAB method. If you could tell me again in a simplified version it would be appreciated.- 13 replies

Walt, at least a green, (or shade of green) leaf will not look brown. But, you point to a problem I face and I assume others face, is shades of colors. In addition texture and light, strength, brightness and angle, affect the color seen. LOL- 13 replies

telemax, I see what you are pointing out. But I am not sure what that adjustment is meant to do. Does make colors appear as a color blind person would see color. Or is it a correction adjustment to the colors. Thanks for pointing that out. I will research the adjustment further.- 13 replies

I am red/green color blind. What I have read about all color blind glasses is it is questionable if they work. But I have thought of trying a pair.- 13 replies

I am color blind, green blindness. Therefore, it is sometimes a guess if the color in a photo is accurate. Does anyone know if Affinity photo has a method of checking color? If a leaf is green I would like ensure the photo shows a green leaf. I hope you understand what I am asking. Thanks,

Split toning on a black and white photo
daveb2 replied to daveb2's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Thanks all for input. -
I have a photo in black and white. It is rather flat in appearance. I want to use split toning to add tone so the photo is not so flat. I don't know how to do this. Nor, I have found any tutorials which start with a black and white photo. I would appreciate any direction, instruction or a point to a good tutorial.

Problem using the NIK collection
daveb2 replied to daveb2's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
mikerofoto, I could see no zoom in the upper right corner of Nik. Am I not seeing it? Also, I could not enlarge the window by moving the cursor to the edge of the Nik window. No two ended arrow showed. Attached is another screenshoot. It shows Nik is as large as AF. Yet, the Right and left adjustment bars are so small it is not usable using my old eyes. Any suggestion anyone? NIK pdf.pdf- 8 replies

I installed The Nik Collection as a plug-in in Affinity Photo. Attached is screen shot of AP with Nik opened. As one can see Nik is too small to use. Any ideas to fix this problem? NIK 2.pdf

When to use soft proofing
daveb2 replied to daveb2's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
stokerg, Thanks for the reply. In searching for an answer to my question I found this response to another's similar question: "The idea is that you place additional adjustments on top of the soft-proof adjustment to get the on-screen image to look right, then turn off the soft-proof before printing or exporting." (1/11/20 by walt.farrell) Would you or anyone agree with this statement? -
When soft proofing a photo, when should the soft proofing be done? Since it can significantly change the way a photo looks, it seems to me soft proofing should the first step when editing a photo. But I really don't know. I have not found a tutorial on this exact question. Thanks
