Luke St. Everything

Crikey, what have I started. All really interesting and helpful so thank you all.

There was one a found too technical for me but I did experiment with a few. I settled on your response and to some extent I was influenced by the pic. you included that demonstrated exactly what I wanted to achieve. I did raise the contrast a little before proceeding but I don't know if it was relevant to the outcome. The point is that I got what I was looking for. Thank you again for the really useful help.

A big thank you to everyone who helped me. I've now achieved exactly what I wanted thanks to you. I really do appreciate your help.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I'll certainly try this.

I'm a casual user of Affinity and there's a lot I don't understand (or need to). But I'm trying to convert a colour image to grey scale but without numerous levels of grey. Ideally I would like the image to covert to 6 shades of grey that are clearly outlined from each other. Is this possible and if so can anyone help me to achieve it. Many thanks.

Help. I bought Affinity photo a number of years ago and it's been great. Yesterday I updated my iMac to OS 14.4 and now it won't fully open it. I don't know what version I have (because the app won't fully open). Can anyone help please.
