I agree that it is cumbersome, but I think only Apple could do anything to change that, like by allowing us to see all the images in a burst at once & selecting the ones we want to process individually, without having to scroll through them one at a time.

Add an live adjustment layer -> Levels
Klick on Master and select Red
Move the Blackpoint-slider to the beginning of the histogram and on the other side the Whitepoint-slider to the end.
Do this also with Green and Blue

As usual, the list in the first post has been updated. Hope you find them useful!

Seid mir nicht böse, aber ich kann mit Tontrennung und Versatz gut leben (soweit ich mich erinnern kann hat Adobe das auch so übersetzt). Außerdem kann jeder die Sprache umstellen wie er will, unabhängig von der Sprache des Systems.

Affinity Online Help
Hello all, we're happy to be able to offer you an online version of the in-app help!
Access Designer, Photo & Publisher Help here: https://affinity.help
Here are some of the additional features we're able to implement as a result of having proper browser support:
Dynamic language switching: The help will determine your language and (if it's available) serve you a localised copy of the help. If you prefer to read in another language, however, you'll find a combo box at the bottom left which will enable you to change languages—and stay on the page you're currently reading. Print: Sounds simple, but with full browser support we can now implement printing of the topic pages. The print icon in the bottom left will give you a nicely formatted printout of the current topic. Share: Clicking the clipboard icon will copy the current topic's URL to your clipboard, which means you can easily point other people towards topics that may help them. Responsive: The help was responsive anyway, including off-canvas menu functionality so you could collapse the window and still read a topic, but this is taken further in this version of the help. The help is formatted nicely and usable even on a 4" iPhone SE screen. Search: we've implemented our own bespoke search for the online help which is fast and accurate. Access it via the tab system along the top left. Favourites: you can add topics to your favourites list to easily access them during future browser sessions. Simply click the + (plus) icon next to the "Favourites" tab to add the current topic.  
With this online version you'll be able to print out topics and view them on your tablets/phones, which are two of the most common requests when it comes to help feedback.
As always, if you have any feedback or find any issues with this online version, please let us know! Hope you find it useful.

Do you use the gradient tool? It appears in all sorts of places in AP. Are you a bit irritated with the default white-to-grey gradient? Would you prefer it to be white-to-black without having to click nodes and colour settings?
Here's how I do this. I don't know why it happens, but it's jolly handy.
In the gradient tool context toolbar, change Type to your choice, eg. Elliptical. Click on colour box. Drop-down box appears. Clicking on Gradient shows the default white to grey gradient line.
Here's the magic: Click on the 'None' tab and then the 'Gradient' tab. Ole! White to black gradient.
