If you look closely and compare the two, I believe you can see how I used the following Affinity Photo tools: I removed minor Noise and corrected the White Balance in the Develop persona, before moving to Photo. In Photo, I used: Selections with Feathering Adjustment Layers with Masks Curves Dodge and Burn (including a Color Dodge layer for hand-painting color adjustments) Lighting (rendering) Perspective Warp (I cut and paste to new layers small parts that might need resizing. It often looks more realistic in smaller areas than using Liquify.) I did not need Liquify here, but I do use it often in Photoshop. This was my first start-to-finish image in AP, but there will be more. I am very happy with the results. -
nezumi, You ask for much. I never show my before photos, but I will this once. I really want everyone to see the power of this application. See the updated initial post for the before and after photos now.

This photo was taken in my studio. All post work was done with Affinity Photo. No external programs or plug-ins were involved in any way whatsoever. PLEASE do not share outside of this forum. Thanks!

Hah! I remember Deep Paint from my Lightwave days. Thanks for your insight, SrPx. I can relate, and your thoughts are much appreciated.

These folks complaining about bad experiences with Affinity Photo have me nervous, as do the things I've read about the death of the Plus product line, which apparently was before my time. I don't want to put all of my chickens in this basket if they may eventually break, but today I love this product! From my perspective, I am a photographer who has just found the perfect solution to my workflow problems. With Affinity Photo, I do the things I did in Photoshop in half the time and my finished product is gorgeous. I'll say it again: I absolutely love this product. I seldom use Illustrator much these days, but I would gladly buy Designer just to support this company. Please tell me the future of this product is a safe one, and if it is not certain, please tell me how we can make it so.

Thanks, Alfred. Being a photographer, I seldom use text, so that would be great for me if it's the only problem.

I'm really enjoying Affinity Photo, but I'm struggling to manage my workflow, going back and forth between AP and other tools. This has me wondering: Do I lose anything if I go from one tool to another working with a layered PSD and never use the AP proprietary format? And if so, is what I lose minor enough to be worth the sacrifice? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Compositional Overlays Outside of Cropping
hlarledge replied to hlarledge's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
Works like a charm. Thanks! Any chance of using those outside of cropping, maybe even adding others? -
This is great info, smadell. Thanks for your insight!

I would like to see this round-trip working better also. Not for Lightroom but for other DAWs.

I spent 4 times as much money last year on another RAW editing product. After 7 grueling months of pain, I demanded my money back. The product crashed repeatedly. I didn't know until today that some folks consider Affinity Photo a beta. I've been using it a month, and I love it. I'm in heaven compared to last year's attempt at beta testing a less than alpha product. Be thankful for what we have. Trust me. It could be much worse and much more expensive.

smadell, I'm interested in your workflow. How do you use Affinity Photo with Photo Supreme? Will it open a file in a particular application based on file type?
-
I would like to be able to use the Compositional Overlays when designing as well as when cropping. Additionally, is there a way to flip the Golden Spiral both horizontally and vertically?
-
Yes!
-
Well done, sir. Thanks for sharing!

I love it, and I'm confident they will resolve this issue soon. It's the only problem I have with the product aside from an odd difference in Auto-levels compared to Photoshop, but that's another thread altogether.
-
I've noticed when I open images in Photoshop that I've Auto-leveled and exported from Affinity Photo, I can click Photoshop's Auto-level option and get a vastly different looking image. How do we know which "auto-level" is more accurate?
-
I am seeing this same problem in relation to preparing files for 500px and Facebook. Basically, the export quality is always less than Photoshop, Alien Skin Exposure, and other tools I've tested. Additionally, I exported as a TIFF with no compression, then opened the file in Photoshop. In Photoshop, I exported to JPG and the same blocky jagged pixelation appeared in the same area of the image as the AP export. So the problem may lie not in the JPG export but somewhere else in Affinity Photo.

I wish I could find it, F_Kal. I tried after I read your post. No luck, but I am certain they were describing the exact same issue with the white balance. They were also comparing with Apple Raw, which I couldn't test, because I am on Windows.

Thanks for posting this, Fotis. I saw a review on the web where someone was bashing AP because of this problem. I'm curious as to whether someone is working on this.
