George Gibson reacted to Smee Again in Photo restoration
Start with converting to black and white by using the adjustment layer "Black and white". In that adjustment layer, adjust the red and yellow slider (because of the "sepia" type aging of the photo) until you get the level of black and white contrast you want. Then you'll see better how to repair the photo. If you just try to restore an old B&W photo without converting to B&W in Affinity, you'll make a lot more work than you need. Besides, if you like the sepia color, you can put it back when you're done.
Best practice for me is to use the patch tool on a pixel layer above the image you're repairing. Under "source" choose "current layer and below," That way, if a choice doesn't work, it is an easy fix.
That's your best starting point, other than making sure you have a good high resolution scan of the image.
This is the original photo

George Gibson reacted to Lovemonkey in Photo restoration
I've been working on restoring a photo of wife's late Nan.
I think I haven't done to bad a job with the photo, considering its size and how bad it's damage plus I'm an absolute noob at this.
I think I've reached the point where I can't really do anymore. Wish I could make her face a bit clearer.
The photo is from round the mid to late 40's.

George Gibson reacted to Throne777 in The Window
Pretty pleased with this one. I really like photos that incorporate vector shapes / line work, so wanted to have a stab at my own. The space / window section was done in Designer, than that file was placed into the larger picture in Photo with some further work done. I used a lot of tricks I learned from the lockdown Affinity sessions (isometric grids, using textures as overlays, various colour adjustments, etc.), so many thanks for those! 🙂

Hello all,
I'm an indie game dev that uses Affinity Photo heavily. I hope the future is bright and we can get many more features that help in that field.

George Gibson reacted to Fritz_H in Forum Upgrade [Tuesday 4th Feb]
@Patrick Connor
Your posting here (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/announcement/1-planned-forum-upgrade-tuesday-4th-feb/) does not contain the time-zone - information.
(sadly the ".beat"-Time from swatch did not succeed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time
perhaps it was ahead of its time.. )
kind regards
Fritz
