Hi Dan-Yes, that's much better and looks like what I was used to in V1. Thank you for your help. -

Here's a screen recording. Is my Refine radius too large? Screen Recording 2023-03-13 at 10.28.27 AM.mov -
Thank you all for the helpful tips and suggestions. I've been working through them and along the way I have learned more about how to use APhoto. I'm now able to get a much better result from this old transparency. An elderly friend wanted to have a print of her late sister and I know she'll be pleased with the result. I appreciate that you took the time and interest to help me out.

I have a scanned image from a an old film(pre-1950's Ansco positive) and need to improve the skin tone. Usually changing white balance is enough but in this case(old film) it has no effect. Maybe the film was too limited in tonal range. Looking for suggestions about what I might try. Epson V600, Silverfast 8.8, MBP. Thanks

Thanks v_kyr for the suggestion. Took a look at the link but I actually have moved away from iPhoto and now Photos and just have images in folders on my Mac. Have been able to access them easily using other 3rd party software for Nikon and others. Also-I don't use iCloud as I have too many images. Maybe those aren't the best decisions but it seems easier to me. to RC-R. Thanks, I'm guessing Affinity Photo 1.7 is not out yet? -

Frequency?
phil146 replied to phil146's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks to all 3 of you for your responses-both in how to use the high/low frequencies for image processing and the theory behind it. DM1-Excellent tutorial on how to apply the concept; to Ian and John-the links to signal processing and Fourier are what I want to understand. That gives me plenty to study about spatial frequency-it's been a long time since I encountered Fourier analysis in college. -
Trying to understand which resampling method would be best to use on landscape or wildlife images. From the Help section, it looks like Lanczos 3(non separable) would give the best results. The 4 choices in the Export menu(Linear, Bicubic, etc.) are only names to me, so any clarification about them would be helpful. (Just an amateur enjoying the hobby) Thanks, Phil

Thanks for creating this excellent software with so many features and tutorial support. Just "scratching the surface"-much to learn. Allows me to move from Nikon NX2 and never need to consider Adobe products. Do you plan to advertise in print media soon or after the Windows versions is released?

Kodiak. That's a beautiful shot of a swan-thank you for sharing that. Getting the image right in the camera is the ideal way to go, and I try to minimize sharpening my images in post. Yes, switched to back button focus 2 years ago-like it much better. I find I'm kind of addicted to shooting birds-I enjoy the challenge. I appreciate your suggestions.

I enjoy bird photography, both still and in-flight and have been using Nikon NX2 for processing. I want to move to Affinity Photo and I'm trying to become more skilled with it. Wondering what others use as settings to do final sharpening? Just revisited the Sharpening and Frequency Separation videos to refresh my memory about options. I use a Nikon D7100, and mainly an 80-200 f/2.8 and a 300mm f/4 lenses. I appreciate any suggestions or examples. Phil
