I've added a curves layer to sort of sort out the dirt then a nested rectangle with a gradient fading from 100% to 0 opacity to clip the effect You can copy the adjustments and paste them onto your next scan, adjust rectangle size & curve value as required You can also use it on a left hand page ie where the shadow is on the right. Paste as before then right align the adjustments, note the width in this case 316px Drag the right handle to the left until it's about right then enter 316 into the W box, the gradient is automagically reversed It ain't perfect but it's quick RLA120.zip

Incorrect Document Size (PDF)
David in Яuislip replied to Sam Neil's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
This is V1.10.5, hopefully it'll work for you Place the doc in Publisher, it must be embedded Double click on it in the Layers panel so it opens in a new tab Select Photo persona Unclip canvas Kill that tab to return to main document tab No idea why it misbehaves- 14 replies

Batch Job - Raw to JPG results in underexposed JPGs
David in Яuislip replied to Pentaxx's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
If you need quick jpegs you can use Exiftool to extract the preview images embedded in the dng exiftool -a -b -W %d%f_%t%-c.%s -copy1:previewimage -ext dng . blisteringly quick as there is no image processing eg 10 image files read 10 output files created Start: 17:37:02.59 End: 17:37:03.26 Elapsed: 00:00:00.67 I have used files from a Pentax K-3 Mark III and they hold two sizes of preview image -copy1:previewimage produces only the large one, same size as the raw 6192x4128 -previewimage also produces a smaller one 720x480 -
I don't understand that but here's an example using ImageMagick from the command line magick *.webp -crop 400x300+10+50 +repage -quality 90 -set filename:f %t_%wx%h %[filename:f].jpg will process all the webp files in a folder taking a slice 400 width, 300 height from X=10, Y=50, you can get these values from Photo after making your slices then it will save a jpeg at quality 90 with the image dimensions appended to the filename For multiple slices create a batch file, note % has to be %% in Windows, no idea about Mac eg magick *.webp -crop 400x300+10+50 +repage -quality 90 -set filename:f %%t_%%wx%%h %%[filename:f].jpg magick *.webp -crop 200x250+50+150 +repage -quality 90 -set filename:f %%t_%%wx%%h %%[filename:f].jpg magick *.webp -crop 350x350+100+150 +repage -quality 90 -set filename:f %%t_%%wx%%h %%[filename:f].jpg

V2 Swatches Panel missing?
David in Яuislip replied to ANGRYMAN's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
By this I understand that you are dealing with rgb images (jpeg or tiff) rather than raw out of the camera Photoshop has Image/Adjustments/Match Color which can be useful here, whether there is similar in Lightroom I don't know What I would try is this: In lightroom export an image with your various adjustments as you have probably done - call this New Then export another with the WB reset - call this Old Open an image in Photo Add a Layer/New Adjustment Layer/LUT Click the Infer LUT... button Load Old first then New File/Export LUT Open one of your images with colour you want to correct Add a Layer/New Adjustment Layer/LUT Click the Load LUT button Load the LUT that you created Hope for the best -
If you need a sizeable selection marquee where the selection stays sharp edged then the marquee tools go in the bin and you have to use a shape Trouble is the shape usually has a stroke and the fill opacity needs reducing so I use a macro Construct a rectangle roughly where you need it, run the macro, press V and resize with the handles or transform panel Select/Selection from layer & delete It shouldn't be necessary but it is, even works with the cat ShapeSelectionSanity.afmacro

Photo editing
David in Яuislip replied to wim's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
My eyes were probably influenced by looking at the photo below which uses one of the opposition. Notice that the highlight & shadow clipping options are both turned on but that nothing shows, that is, the photo is perfectly exposed although Photo detects blown highlights. Also notice the perspective correction which is achieved automatically. Or to put it another way, I think that your camera and that Zeiss lens are capable of better results than Photo can produce -
Photo editing
David in Яuislip replied to wim's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
In the Develop Persona, turn on display clipped highlights Now reduce the Exposure until the clipping is gone, V1 needs -0.4 stops It looks a bit too blue to me so I did a White Balance on the grey road which changed WB to 5153K -7% Now Develop and experiment in the Pixel Persona Regarding sharpening, for screen or print? Generally zoom in to 100% and use New Live Filter Layer/Unsharp Mask. The values are personal, I prefer less rather than more. You may prefer more, we are both correct Regarding the Help, this is written in HTML so can be read with a browser. I am using Chrome which normally uses English but can be persuaded to use Dutch. See the attached pdf, you can open this in Photo if you don't have Publisher and translate my English into Dutch. Veel succes! DutchHelp.pdf -
Hyphens in words
David in Яuislip replied to Zumo Creativos's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Bear in mind that my Spanish is limited to, "Dos cervezas por favor" I depend on online translation Carnage translated to carnicería and if I put that into Publisher I get either carnice-ría or car-nicería What's the correct hyphenation please? -

Worked for me too, I am a bit of a beginner with regex and there are a few different versions but this was perfect in Publisher -

Yep, export the file as an svg then look at that with a text editor and try to find the font
