Well in my situation I took nearly 2 years to evaluate Affinity vs. Adobe, and come to the conclusion that we could move to Affinity. It was only 2 weeks ago that my client came with this change in their brand book. But I am definitely happy with the contribution of this group. Thank you all very much. Long life to Affinity!

Hi @Pšenda, this looks very close to the expected result. I guess only in the high lights there should be less contrast. I am not familiar with LUT. Would you mind sharing the file?

Unfortunately here the client has the last word. In fact, this colorized image is used as a background, so we don't have much latitude for changes. But thank you for your suggestions.

Hi @Lisbon, your approach is quite impressive and smart. I guess there are many ways to come to the result but I like the simplicity.

If fact I have myself a CS6 but this challenge is at my agency. So it concerns several users.

Sorry these were the values provided by our client. Here are RBG values: Dark Blue = R:32 G:52 B: 189 Vivid Blue = R: 99 G:250 B:255

@PaulEC, it seems to be a good path to explore. Because just applying "grayscale" to the image, PS and AP do not deliver the same result.

Here are the Blue color values: Dark Blue = #203abd Vivid Blue = #63faff Then transparency value for the color layers: 55% for the Dark Blue layer 15% for the Vivid Blue Layer

Below PS exported images at different stages STAGE 1 STAGE 2 STAGE 3

The Coloring Procedure is a series of actions to take in PS, pretty straightforward: Opening the image, Turning into Grayscale, Applying a dual-tone coloring based on 2 different blue colors Applying LAB color setting and finally, setting opacity values on both color layers. If I have been able to more or less get to the Grayscale stage at Affinity, I can't figure out how to get to the following stages.

Hello there, I am using Affinity Photo for several years now, in a professional context. I decided to move my team from Adobe to Affinity 2 months ago. I am now struggling with a specific Coloring Procedure based on Photoshop that I have to migrate into Affinity Photo. Does anyone have experience with such a thing? Thierry PS. I can provide the PS procedure
