Here's an example I found - to my untrained eye this example seems to preserve whites while under-representing blue tones. I'm really not great at colour. So I'm hoping to buy something that would let me apply a colour change to a "well balanced" modern image, and turn it into something like this. Ideally for several different specific film effects.

Starbase1 started following Affinity Photo - Plugins or similar for period colour film look?

Hi, Is anyone aware of Affinity plugins that will give a period film look? I'm hoping for something that will make my CGI work look less CGI. For example, the old Polaroid instant photos had a distinctive colour balance that I struggle to reproduce. Similar for early colour photos from NASA, and I can see it being really useful to process a video image sequence for that period look. Please feel free to suggest commercial solutions! Thanks, Nick

I looked at pen and node help / tutorials, and found nothing relevant, so I'm probably thinking of the wrong commands. I want to add a key to a diagram, with a line leading to the part I am describing, so I want attach something to a line. I drew the line with a pen tool, no problem, but I can't see how to (for example) attach an arrowhead to one end, or a circle to the other, (which I will put a number in). If some kind person can tell me the command I should be able to find a tutorial on it, Thanks Nick

Hello all, I'm trying to find tutorials on setting up an index, and I keep finding index for tutorials instead! There seem to be a LOT of text format styles that go into an index, and I'm hoping to find some templates or presets that give a nice coherent look with a minimum of tweaks and twiddles. The same applies to a table of contents, which is next on my list to tackle. Also the sheer number of elements you can adjust for a style is a bit baffling to me as a beginner - I plan on digging deeper into this, but for now I'm looking for a shortcut.

Hi All, I've not worked with any publishing software before, and I'm really struggling to get going. I suspect the problem is that I keep expecting it to be like a word processor, when perhaps something like PowerPoint (spit, snarl!), is a better comparison. I have a fairly clear idea of where I want to get to - the final product is going to be a fairly technical booklet, produced as A4 landscape, probably about 80 pages. Most pages are likely to have 3 columns of text, or two portrait images side-by-side, or one portrait image and some text beside it. It will be sold as a PDF E-Book, and will be printable by the customer. I have a big pile of photo images, and another pile of my CGI renderings, so I'm well covered for graphical elements. The best tutorial I have found so far is the Page Layout video by "Andy" on this page: https://affinityspotlight.com/article/learn-how-to-use-affinity-publisher-fast/ And I'm wondering if it would be sensible to buy a template - the "Lynx" one here looks to be a fairly good match for what I want. https://creativemarket.com/SlideStation/4712748-Lynx-Publisher-Brochure-Template#fullscreen (By all means, recommend templates of your own if they are a good fit). So... Any other recommended tutorials for me? Is buying a template a good idea? Anything else that will get me thinking about it the right way? I'm expecting that once I get my head around it, the other tasks like contents and an index will make a lot more sense to me. Thanks, Nick
