  1. Hello @TomSmith I really like the mood and composition of your image however the eye usually, in the first instance, goes to the brightest part (highlights). 

    In your image there's just nothing in the cloud highlights ... blank! zero! ... histogram right side clipped!

    Does your raw/original image have detail/density in this area? If so bring it in! 

    ... and make it work :)

    Great work there, but you may wish to reconsider the corporate colour scheme. Both in nature and in industrial environments, black and yellow signify danger.

    Agreed ... for the UK and also (down under) in the colonies ;)

    Maybe not so for Finland though? I'm curious to learn more about colour association etc in Finland (Scandinavia generally).

    Time to upgrade, perhaps, Peter? MainType 8.0 Pro seems to be quite happy with Bahnschrift on my Windows 10 system.

    Oh, it's more likely to be some issue on my Windows 10.

    The font is not, and never has been, available to me in any of the apps I use. It just doesn't appear in the font lists. 

    As the saying goes 'One doesn't miss what one has never had' ;)

  4. Thought I'd jump in with my 10 cents worth here. My version of MainType (Pro 7.0) doesn't like Bahnschrift one little bit and consistently wants to remove it from the registry. The error being—Installed, but not loaded. 

    From what I understand it's a system font that's pertains to Windows 10. 

    Assumably it's broken and Microsoft can't be bothered fixing it! It can't be uninstalled.  

  5. Thought I'd upload a screenshot that proves XnViewMP can read both .afphoto and .afdesign. As mentioned double clicking on the thumbnail opens another screen that shows a larger than thumbnail size image but much less than the full file size (by measurement when zoomed). As far as I'm concerned XnViewMP will do just fine until Serif release their own DAM. I have no idea if XnViewMP will be able to read .afpub files—it can't as yet.

    Assuming you're referring to the Black Level, your advice # 1 is wrong, you need to move the Gamma slider to the left.

    Yeah, my bad. Without checking in APh I was thinking of PS Output Levels which moves to the right!

    Your definition of muddy is somewhat different to my experience. Considering I pro worked in technical, medical, performance photography as well as a decade of pro printing in a trad dardroom I've learnt something new.

    Thankyou!

  7. Other than the shallow depth of field (low F stop) it's not so much as being 'creamy' ... the image is underexposed. The blacks are muddy (ie empty, weak, not strong with detail). Compare the blacks in your posted image to the one  @Fixx  posted.

    If you want that look pull back your blacks ... 1) Levels—move the shadow slider a little to the right or 2) Curves—move the bottom left node slightly upwards.

    Back in the film days this was quite common with high ISO film that just didn't have enough exposure—Believe me, I used to shoot a lot of stage plays ;) 

    To emulate that look try ISO1600 and above...

    Edit: On second thoughts try ISO 400 - 800 and add a bit of film grain (you don't want digital noise).

  8. I really like the movement of the second to bottom image (that and the gritty urban feel).

    For me, the movement of the band members toward each other indicates energy and eventual collision creating a nucleus ... after all this is a group and as well music, by its nature, is not static.

    If you're not already aware of this book check it out. If you can get into it I'm quite certain you'll be taking bigger creative steps/growth with your art.

  9. In Designer on Windows regardless of the tool selected (except for the Place Image Tool) holding down alt and clicking on the rulers (both X & Y) guides can be placed. If the canvas/document is magnified it, of course, makes for quick precise placement.

    In APh and APub guides can be placed this way as well however it'll only work with the Move tool (as far as I'm aware).

    I have no idea if this is the same for Mac
