I admit that was very difficult for me......

I totally appreciate the challenge
and your meticulous work!

… never met these guys in person!
That capture is the right kind of challenge for a proper gimbal head.
He must be much more than a saint 'cause the halo is all around its body!

I'm not really qualified to appreciate that type of
typography, calligraphy but I dig the sweet tones!

Cool reportage rendition!

Great colour palette in here, Frankentoon…
though I have a hard time with the "robot"
character of the pose!

I dig the drama in the first and third takes, cool imagery!
The serenity in the second is quite remarkable though I think
the snow in FG could be somewhat whiter. As for the rest, all
delicious.

when resizing a document to a large print size with 300 dpi the pixels amount is increasing above and beyond the original pixels size. what does it means in terms of print quality?
There are two issues in this question…
- Resizing
Increasing the size (in pixel) is not an easy task.
No software does it well but the "lesser evil" is
produced through Perfect Resize from OnOne
—pretty much the industry standard.
- Quality strategy
Resampling to add (or subtract) pixels always results in at least some loss of quality (sharpness, detail, etc.)
+1
…and this is the reason why one should perform
the "resizing" prior to any PP except DRL, WB,
and tonal balance.

Unless…
It is so recommendable to "only publish" in CMYK as the
industry practice is to layout in RGB. The conversion may
be done when the final doc will be exported to pdf.

Hi, what is the best way to convert rgb images to cmyk for print with Affinity Photo? Thanks
•
The common and clever practice is to stay
in RGB or ProRGB to perform any, all post-
production works and only convert the final
file to CMYK for the printer.
It is a win-win situation where both the proces-
sing power & time and files sizes are kept within
more reasonable 3 channels rather than 4.
If starting with a RAW file, one will not have to
bother with that since RAWs have no colour
space (they are not images but recorded data).
If a files needs to go through a pixel editor, it can
be converted at the end of the process.
One is well advised to…
- stay in the RAW converter as long as possible
- stay in RGB colour space until the end.

What he said!
What he said he said…
…stupendous!

… and was on the Adobe Certified Professional program before ending my relationship with Adobe, all of which I mention purely to demonstrate that I have some credibility!
Thanks, that explains a few things!

I love seeing wildlife pictures, to be brutally sincere, I don't care a bit even if they have not even been saved or edited with Affinity's, as I'm not from Affinity's staff or a forum moderator... I just like the pics... :D I bet a lot think like me.... (hence the huge amount of views -yet no posts: When I admire a landscape, I usually don't talk, just look and enjoy... ;) - in Kodiak's posts ...)
I'll get some more soon enough… for you pleasure I hope!

I have experience with stitching a rather large number
files for urban panos but it was a dedicated software.
I never tried to stitch with AP.

When I learned the Photo could develop RAW files
I was all hopeful and excited at the idea to try it…
but was disappointed within 5 minutes.
As much as I believe AF Photo will replace PS for me
as pixel editor, I realized that, for my operations, the
Raw conversion is not that yet as…
- one can only work on a single file at the time and
- the controls are illogical to me, too close to LR and
not close enough to real RAW conversion.
I don't believe that AF Photo is the right tool to learn RAW
converting at this point…maybe with later improvements.
I could not imagine teaching or mentoring sessions on RAW
processing with it and make it fun as it should be.
-
Actually Capture One is much more than raw converter. Like Lightroom, it also is a cataloging tool.
I personally only work in sessions as I hate libraries
and the catalogue idea.
You're right though saying there is no problem seeing
the edited file along/beside the RAW file when it is in
the same folder.

Alas, my internet connection is unstable and slow. D-load failed yesterday, and cut out today after only a few minutes of the tutorial was saved. But what I saw was very good. I'm not a photographer, and what I was able to see framed the development issues very well. I'll try again some other day. It is fine educational entertainment.
Now, that's quite receivable and with great pleasure!
I hope your connection will work better! :)

wow! That was an encyclopedia of good information packed into a 12 minute video. Thanks for sharing it.
Cool, glad the effort was good to someone :)
I have yet to send any photos out to a lab for printing but your video makes me think it would be best to give the lab files with the same intent that you use for magazine/book publishers. In other words, does it make sense to send files to a printing company with a little room left for them to adjust? Or, do I need to get it correct the first time? I'm talking about photos that I would hang in my own house, not professional for sale photos.
In no way! For photo printing, one has to test the lab. Publish
a jpg file the way you would like to see it and have it printed.
If all goes well, then fine. If not, tweak in your converter, republish
and retest until satisfied. DON'T GIVE THE LAB ANY FREEDOM!
Unless they are knowledgeable AND friends.

Terra del Juego???
I was in Terra del Fuego but…

Does anyone have a good workflow for this?
I don't understand why you need to bring the edited
picture back in C1!
C1 is a RAW converter… what do you expect C1 to do
with an edited picture… knowing that every new save of
the same file implies some degree of degeneration.

…this is stellar work …
You're just too kind… too many things went wrong in there.
- I was fighting so much not to cough or sneeze given my cold
- my famous FM voice was showing signs of throat irritation
- at 10.4 min, Marie's son (using his mother's Skype connection) was
telling me that he's out of the shower and ready for his session
- I was very aware (too aware) of the recording and, being the first time,
that drove me crazy… I could hear all the English mistakes, I was thinking
in French as I was talking…
- etc.
It was a first and I leaned quite a bit!

AP, best way to convert from rgb to cmyk?
in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

I'm impressed by your opened attitude!
I'm also impressed by instructors omitting to
mention the great importance and limitations
of CMYK.
As most my work (65%) is directed towards
publishing/printing, the ins and outs of CMYK
are an integer part of my workflow.
