Day to Dusk photo
David in Яuislip replied to Andrew Leiataua's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Too hard, take another photo' when it's overcast then apply a lut A shot at dusk is not going to have those harsh shadows so I have crudely cloned the gravel and concrete to remove the tree shadows cloned the concrete near the door, left the area by the garage so you can see the difference burned in the stone lower left lightened the area in shadow under the tree hsl layer to reduce green and blue saturation some local sponge desaturation under the tree and on the flowers by the house reduced the highlights on the tree Good luck but I'd get the camera out and go back House.afphoto -
Formatting an index

This is how windows V1 works Main dictionaries are in C:\Program Files\Affinity\Publisher\Resources\Dictionaries User dictionaries are in C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries and these supplement the main ones for the selected language I'm using en-GB so I create C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries\en-GB This can contain multiple dic files which must have a matching aff so I have C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries\en-GB>dir /B places.aff places.dic stuff.aff stuff.dic These four files are in the zip. The aff files are very basic and the contents are identical You should be able to copy your underlined words to a text file, one word per line and beginning with the count Good luck en-GBextras.zip

Fuji RAF file
David in Яuislip replied to Kdyne's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Probably because the raw file contains raw sensor data with some metadata which tells enabled programs how to interpret the film simulation. Capture One is supposed to handle this, also Fuji's own software should but other programs including Affinity won't know how to process it -
Assuming your goal is to resize images to 1000w or 1000h then crop to the middle 660px of the height/width If all of your images have the same aspect ratio then you have a chance with Photo macros otherwise forget it Use new batch job with 1000 in the width box 1000 in the height box Leave A ticked Run this and all your images will be 1000w or 1000h. Note that this will upsize small images in which case use min(1000,w) and min(1000,h) respectively Now you need two macros, one for landscape, one for portrait, use the outputs from the batch job to create these For the landscape images it just needs to crop the picture to 660 high and this should default to cutting out the centre 660px I would then apply some unsharp mask as sharpening is generally required after resizing. Do similar for the portrait images but crop the width Until Photo gets scripting then I think this is about it Or you could use imagemagick which is excellent for batch work and will deal with different aspect ratios, just write some gibberish like this magick input.tif -resize 1000x -gravity center -crop x660+0+0 -unsharp 0x0.4 output.tif magick input.tif -resize x1000 -gravity center -crop 660x+0+0 -unsharp 0x0.4 output.tif You can use these commands one at a time or else in a powershell file where you can find width & height and run the appropriate command. Otherwise use Python and it'll also work on Macs

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't, It's a well established phenomenon that works Norf of Nottingham otherwise you need to set the feather before making the selection. It always hacked me off in Photoshop as I never developed a feel for how much feather to apply so I took to making a selection with feather zero press Q apply Gaussian blur to get some visual idea press Q

Cut out piece of image
David in Яuislip replied to Linda Carlson's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
According to the internet voodoo Pagemaker doesn't support transparency but will accept clipping paths in tiffs I have created a curve for the hole and another for the whole image, these were merged then moved to the clipping position If you export a tiff then it works in Photoshop and may work in Pagemaker but I don't have it. Otherwise try a psd as this retains the Curves layer as editable paths in Photoshop Please let us know as it may help others redheart.afphoto
