PhotonFinder

Oh, now we're talking! Thanks for the link RichardMH...may have to spring for that.

Hi, thanks for the reply. That is useful info...and I found detailed newbie friendly instructions for that process here (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/77543-how-to-use-colorchecker-passport-in-affinity-photo/). However, as I understand it, that would just allow for proper color correction of film or digital photos taken with a color card in the scene...but it would not help in color matching a film's "artistically wrong" colors (i.e. being able to take a photo with a digital camera and then process that to look like a particular film stock). I know that we can use LUTs to do this, but I thought if would be fun to try to make my own. Edit: just stumbled on this page (https://rawpedia.rawtherapee.com/Film_Simulation), so maybe I can use rawtherapee for the film sim, and then go back to affinity for further processing if desired.

Hi all. Affinity newbie here! I found this post/tutorial (http://peteroutoffocus.blogspot.com/2016/11/emulating-analog-film-digitally-part-2.html) and was wondering if this sort of thing could be done in affinity? In short, it's about taking a film photo and digital photo of same scene with the same settings (with a Calibrite ColorChecker Classic or similar in the picture), and then (after getting a scan of the film done) trying to match the digital photo to the film one by somehow sampling the color squares (with both RGB and Lab values) in the film image. Then, that data could be used to make some kind of adjustment layers. The site link above uses Photoshop/Camera Raw...but as I am now running only affinity photo (and his details are sparse)....help please!
