[Red Eye Removal]

Hi,

I am trying to use the red eye removal tool and following the help instructions. I understand that the result is cumulative but at least with the photos I am using, the first 4-5 instances of the tool barely shows a difference. Repeated use just makes it look muddy and red. Is there anything else I can do here ... other than go back and take a better picture? This is weak. Should I look to recolor the eye instead?

 

That sounds unusual. Would you be willing to post the image up so we can see why it might not be working well?

[Differences between Detail Enhance and Unsharp mask etc?]

However, I'm curious what the difference in using Detail Enhancement for sharpening and some of the other methods like Unsharp Mask, High Pass, Clarity?

 

 

I'm also curious to know if there is any difference between Detail Enhancement and Unsharp mask.

So far I have assumed there is no difference since there is no other sharpening panel in the Develop Persona.

 

Hope the Serif guys can comment on this!

Congratulations! Continue to surprise us with the great work :)

Have thrown my hat into the ring!

[Restore faded handwriting]

I'm very impressed by the capabilities offered in Affinity Photo, but it's overwhelming when attempting a first piece of work and the excellent video tutorials don't seem to help in this case.

 

I have a 600dpi jpg scan of an old certificate with a badly faded ink signature. The objective is to put the original certificate in storage and display a new printed copy. Can anybody give me a few hints on how to enhance the signature which has faded from the original black to a very pale sepia?

 

Attached is a low quality copy of the signature section.

 

Many thanks,

John

 

Did you forget the attachment?

[White balance in TIFF Files]

Alright with a little more investigation.

 

If i have the same tiff opened with AP on my primary monitor, and C1 on my secondary monitor, everything is perfect.

( primary.png and secondary.png )

 

But if i have AP on the same screen than C1 ( on the secondary monitor ) the colours in AP are way off...

( combined.png )

 

Could it be that AP ignores the color profile on the secondary screen ?

( both monitors are calibrated )

 

 

What happens when you the file with Affinity Photo alone on each monitor in turn?

[Brightness = Set whitepoint?]

I noticed that in the history panel "brightness" adjustments in the Develop Persona show up as "set whitepoint".

 

First: Probably that should be changed to make it consistent?

 

Second: What does set whitepoint mean and what does it actually do vs. exposure?

Hi Infinite Affinity.

Great, thanks!

Just to check, does the Black Point setting in the Develop Persona setting the pure black point? (0,0,0)

[Affinity Photo is in the Mac App Store Now!]

Sadly not, the controls we have are limited and the transactions are all securely Apple. If I could send you an individual 20% off code I would but that's not possible either.

 

Ah well, thanks anyway.

 

Maybe Apple sets sales endings as non-inclusive, might be something to talk to them about.

[Affinity Photo is in the Mac App Store Now!]

The offer should expire at the end of the day - Apple hit the switch on that though. We get to choose when the description changes, i think that should be another hour or thereabouts (6pm GMT ish)

 

Well that's a shame. Nothing you can do?

[Affinity Photo is in the Mac App Store Now!]

We've made the offer July 23rd inclusive, until midnight. What country's Mac App Store are you using?

 

The Singapore one

[Affinity Photo is in the Mac App Store Now!]

Is the launch discount over already?

 

I was a bit late to the game, and it's still 23 July but it seems the price is now? I thought it would have been 23 July inclusive.  :P
