It's not bad, it brings out the vegetation but nowhere near as good as using a raw.
I opened the RAW file and then immediately pressed Process and the snow on the tree is not very blue at all. I must be some setting in my Sony A7iii but I can't find anything that makes a difference. I even tried manual. Changed the white balance and it happened with another picture but not as bad.
Oh well. I cannot duplicate the environment at the time again.
I just exported it to jpg and it looks good! Not blue! Must be the jg processing on the camera I suppose. I am not a professional photographer, barely an amateur 🙂

Looks good to me though.

If you've just opened the image, suggest Copy (ctrl C in windows) and New from Clipboard from the File menu. (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N in windows). Copy Flattened (Ctrl+Shift+C) from Edit menu if you want to copy edits, then New from Clipboard.
Worked great!

nitial doc size doesn't matter because after you have placed the image, simply go Document > Unclip Canvas. That's it.
I didn't know about that! Thank you.

Option/Alt-click on the mask thumbnail in the Layers panel; click on the image layer to make the adjusted image visible again.
When I did that, it just brings a big square of white or black. I forget. Not at all like in the ladies video where only the part of what she colored in (the eyes) showed.

3. With the adjustment layer selected in the layers panel - chooses a soft brush from the brush menu. Set the colour to black, then paint over the picture to hide the parts you don't want lit.
Okay 🙂 So, how can I tell if I missed a spot? The face is a really small part of the painting. I did change the brush sizes when blacking out the rest of the image, and didn't make the rest of it too dark or was I not actually changing how the image looked initially?
I turned off the levels adjustment layer (used white balance) and can see a difference in the face, but missed a spot.
The gal's video said to hold down alt while clicking on the adjustment layer but I don't see how to undo what I did with changing the brush color to white.
Sure makes more sense to me to just whiten out the face but I think she left a step out and didn't work for me (the first third of the affinity revolution youtube video but I don't know how to paste a link without the video appearing here.
She also said set the hardness of the brush to 0.
Do you want me to post my attempt? It's pretty good! 🙂
More fun than AI!
Thanks!

Have you tried duplicating the file in Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows) & opening the duplicate (which should have a slightly different filename) in a second tab with the original open?
I think that is the best solution!! Thank you!

Or you could open a new blank document and place the document that you're working as linked. It will then always show you the last saved state
I would want the new document be the same size as the image, correct?

Hi,
I would like to open the same image in another tab and not have any changes made in one affect the other.
I guess that would be "Open As..." or something like that.
When I try and open the same image again, it makes the current one active if it has the same name and does not open another tab.
Thanks

All of the Adjustment layers have an integrated (built-in) mask. Just select the Adjustment layer and start painting.
Okay Bruce! Thanks!
Is it possible to work on the same image in a different tab in Photo? There is no "open as",...

You can also use a brightness and contrast adjustment, or a curves adjustment to brighten up the picture, then as with the levels adjustment use a soft black brush to paint out the areas you don't want brightened.
I do this before I start a mask?
Oh - I followed the Affinity Revolution mask tutorial on youtube and she used a curves adjustment to adjust the brightness so I guess same thing as levels adjustment with white balance.
How would I do the other thing you said about a black brush to paint out the areas that I do not want touched?
Thanks

This is an "all roads lead to Rome" type of question in the sense that there are many ways to brighten up this picture.
This example I used a level adjustment then masked out the area so that the central figure is brighter.
Speaking of Rome, sort of <g>. How did you do that? It looks great!
I am studying up on masking right now. I remember Affinity Revolution had a couple good videos on this.
Sorry - I don't get to do this stuff very often <s>

Once saved you can recall a custom adjustment preset + apply it with 1 click.
Okay -assuming it worked <g>

Use a mask to stop the effect where you dont want it
I will give it a go! Thanks! Where I don't want it, not just brighten the area I want brightened.

I don't get along with the white balance adjustment layer using the picker so I placed an Info Sampler on some snow in the foreground then used a Curves layer and adjusted the blue and green values to match the red which produced a #dedede grey at that point. It's not bad, it brings out the vegetation but nowhere near as good as using a raw.
Oh boy, Sounds like something NASA would do 🙂
A friend told me that about a picture I took saying "Even NASA couldn't fix it!". I assumed he was talking about the landing on the moon or some conspiracy like that. 🙂

How about just adjusting the white balance then? … and possibly save a satisfying result as a custom preset?
Okay, snow on pine tree is still blue-ish but I understand now as there are other pictures I took at other times of the day in different locations that also had a blue hue. I just need to find a similarity.
What does saving the preset do?
Thanks

BTW: snow in the shadow is normally blueish: it reflects the (blue) sky. PS: the sun was at your right, not behind you
Yes, the sun was off to my right! 🙂

Did you have a particular reason to take a screenshot instead of simply downloading the image?
Do you want the RAW file or original (6000x4000) or the Affinity Photo format? Here is the original, but in Affinity Photo format. It is pretty big.
I guess my brain is sometimes stuck in the 24K modem days.

Hi!
The painting of the man's in the middle's face. The tall guy's. Maybe all of him that can be seen.
I do not want to brighten anything or anyone else in the image.
Thanks!

On this site, they don't seem to worry a lot about it:
Thank you!! Looks like everything I need to know is there!
I thought letters were supposed to be an "a" apart or something like that. I can wing it!

How do I get rid of the blue overtones?
in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

I let Photo AI do it's autopilot thing and it does not have sandy tones. I think you may have moved the temperature to the browner settings on the right too far. That made it look like yours.
