Hi @Rainon Affinity Photo help (F1) : "Adjustment layers also have mask layer properties. Areas of an adjustment layer can be revealed or hidden in the same way as with a mask layer." My workflow would be as follow: CTRL/CMD + ALT + Click to create a luminosity selection. With the selection active, add a curves adjustment. Make the adjustments Click on the little gear icon to open the Blend Options dialog, and apply the effect only to the highlights. If you wish, you can invert (CTRL+I) the curves adj and then use a white brush to paint the effect back in only were needed. Hubert

The OP could provide a Wetransfer link for downloading:

AFPhoto = Move Tool (V)

I'm using equations ... see this thread :

I would add the HSl adj as a child layer (can be set as default in the assistant manager). Then invert that HSL layer, and use a white brush to partially paint the adjustment back in ?

From the help file: "Scaling will embed a specific print resolution into an image's metadata to force it to print at a specific dpi (e.g. 300 dpi). The image's pixel dimensions remain unaffected" ... BUT NOT the dimensions. Which is logical.

I'm running Kaspersky Internet Security. Never had a problem on installing/updating software. Just out of interest which virus software do you have installed?

You're right,sorry. I was a bit confused. Any idea why my layer stack doesn't look the same as yours ? Clippingmask.mp4

The 72 DPI Web Resolution Myth Read this first .... https://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/the-72-ppi-web-resolution-myth/ You'll 'need to create a macro using equations, see this thread I created my own. See attachment Give it a try .. Resize Document to a Fixed Maximum Size .afmacros

True, but only with a pixel layer, not with a fill layer ....

Here"s an almost perfect cut out ...

HI @nater973, Via Edit > Preferences > Performance you can define a File Recovery Interval. I don't know if there used to be a default, just check it out. On Windows the files are stored under: %APPDATA%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\autosave But if you didn't get a recovery message when restarting the app ... it may be something severe ... You could also check if there are any crash reports created, %APPDATA%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\CrashReports\Reports Hubert

!!!!

Using channels could be an option ... using Channels.mp4

Okay, applying the Haze Removal directly to the .HDR file also causse AFphoto to quit on my system. I went through Develop Persona first and did some further editing in Photo Persona. So it will need some further investigation by the staff / Devs. Instead you may use the JPG file for editing.

How did you proceed? Which file did you edit? HDR_041_Path.jpg or HDR_041_Path.hdr ? Was it developed in Develop Persona and then additional edited in Photo Persona? etc.

No problem on my windows 10 Haze removal is a destructive filter. Filters > Haze Removal

Thanks for the TIP ...

See this thread ...

Oh yeah. Works fine when using File > Open = (Pixel) layer But not when using File > Place or dragging it on the canvas (matte or transparent) = (Image) layer, which needs to be rasterized first. (The man sitting on the chair, is a placed JPG-file ... ) But I probably misunderstand it completely ... red cache !!.afphoto

I know...

Hereby, afphoto Upload failed = PNG-file as I downloaded from internet You'll need to download it from here EXIF textfile green-screen-backgrounds.afphoto EXIF__green-screen-backgrounds.txt

ok, later when I'm back home
