really capable software

I was trying to do a manual exposure blending of the shot below. it's made of 3 shots. I was having a hard time figuring out two things. 1. Auto align layers 2. How to stack images. I was able to stacked but Affinity auto blend it. That's not what I want. I just want to open the files in layers and blend them manually. I asked in Affinity facebook group in a nice way, i got kicked out.

i tried it. it's fixed. Can you guys try it too.

The latest update talked about a new shadows/highlights algorithm for develop, is this the response for this issue?

not at all. that's your preference and i respect that. i just like complimentary colors more and cinematic color grading.

i'm a long time PS user and I just did the retouching on Affinity the way I do in PS. Cleaning blemishes using healing brush tool pixel level dodging and burning using 2 curves layer(not contouring) Toning using selective color adjustment layers. Adjusting the red, yellow and black colors only. was using CaptureOne to develop. here's the SOOC

I can't find a thread for portrait retouching. If there's already, please point me there and remove this thread.

i created a video for this problem.

new update 1.5.2 and still this issue exist. i'm only waiting this fix before I'll completely dump adobe. any news on this?

no news? i'm waiting to have this fix so I can unsubscribe to adobe's creativecloud.

no update on this issue yet? or you're still working on it? i understand it's not an easy issue. just making sure you're working on it.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm shooting with Sony A7RII and one of the advantage of having it is it's ability to pull shadows and highlights. It's like HDR technique is a thing of the past. So pulling shadows is really important to me. in fact here's another sample of a file from a 1" sensor sony P&S(Sony RX100V) i know this is an extreme example but i did that on purpose. https://www.flickr.com/photos/49225452@N08/31483711682

even at 50% in AP you start to see the bad effects. try it yourself. that's not good especially for landscape photographers. New sensors can push that much especially Sony Cameras so this shadow recovery must yield a good result.

no respond from Affinity? at least to reassure that they will work for it?

Hi guys, I just bought Affinity 1.5 and found this problem when pulling shadows to a 100% or even least. here's a pic to best describe it.

looking for the invert mask too and i can't find it either. also i can't mask an adjustment layer. it has to be because that's how i do my dodging and burning using curves adjustment layer. and then to be able to group multiple layers and can mask the whole group as well.

Hi, First of all thanks for this new software. I'm a die-hard Photoshop user, since version 2(not CS2). Now I'm a sony shooter. I noticed that I cannot open the sony raw files(.ARW) with this beta version. Please include it when developing the develop module. With Sony's mirrorless(the A7 series) impact to the market, there's a growing number of Sony shooters now. I myself switched from Canon 5D Mark III to Sony A7R. thank you.
