@John van Barneveld, how did you acquire your negative image? Colour negative film has an additional orange mask. Scanner software will take this into account, but if you scan a negative film as if it were a positive, and then use Layer > Invert, you get the inverted mask as a bluish colour cast. Edit: So when you are scanning your image, you need to tell your scanner software that it is a colour negative. John

You need to ensure that Affinity Photo is set as the default program to open tiff files (rather than Photoshop). Your windows search box should find the scanner software for you, but make sure the scanner is switched on before calling it. Having made the scan to your satisfaction, save it as a tiff file. It should then open automatically in Photo. This should happen whether or not Photo is already open. I find that when it opens the file, the Photo icon on the taskbar turns orange. Click on this and there is your scanned file in Photo. John

If you use the Search for 'Flag-Waving', then it should point you to the macro I wrote to do just that (I actually called it Vexillomorphic Transformations, but that was just showing off). John

In Windows, if you have Affinity Photo as the default program to open tiff files, then if you save your scanned file as a tiff, it will automatically open in Affinity. This works for other file types. This works for me with VueScan and SilverFast. It should work with the software from your scanner. John

PlugIn Support
John Rostron replied to Aktive Pupille's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
ViewPoint should work as a standalone, so you do not need to regress to Photoshop. John -
You are unlikely to gain any advantage in trying to simulate bracketing using jpegs. These are typically 8-bit. You can get some useful pseudo-bracketing if you start with raw files as these are typically 12- or 14-bit. Most HDR software generates a high bit-depth image (32-bit) which encompasses all the range of exposure values in your multiple exposures. You cannot get this from a single original image. John

FFT Denoise filter
John Rostron replied to D23's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It is very much a case of suck it and see. The highlighted spots in the FFT diagram denote frequencies characteristic of regular noise. You could take a gradual approach by erasing the brightest quartet of spots first, then see how that looks; then the next brightest quartet and so on. John -
RAW Development
John Rostron replied to JeffreyWalther's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
No image editor will change the raw file (not even Adobe Raw). Many image editors save a record of edits that have been made as sidecar files. Affinity does not. If a program saved your changes back to a raw file, it would no longer be a raw file. Many users have requested that Affinity implement sidecar-like files. So far Serif has not committed itself.

Forum nag
John Rostron replied to Panchdara's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
When I joined this forum, I assumed that, like some other forums, i could not simultaneously be logged i from both my desktop and my laptop. It seems that I can so there is no real reason not to stay logged in. Perhaps I will. John -

Obviously, but it is still annoying. Most websites seem to be able to manage cookies without this intrusive reminder every time. John -
Darkness, yes. To dark to see much at all, especially the first. John

URGENT ATTENTION

Your title is misleading. There is no request here for "Urgent Attention"! Just polite requests that have been made before in numerous posts. John -
affinity photo A Bunch Of Really Fungis --- "Before / After"
John Rostron replied to Smee Again's topic in Share your work
@Smee Again, a nice photo. The Turkeytail fungus is extremely variable ranging from dull grey to rich orange. Your bunch shows the range in the cluster! Your edit has brought out the orange nicely. John -
I think my equations-based macro should do what you want. (Follow @HVDB Photography' link.) You would need to create your own macro with your target maximum size. In the second step, you should now use Layer > Rasterise and Trim (new in the latest versions) rather than plain Rasterise. I will repost this macro with this update. John
