Hallo Affinity Jules,
Ursprünglich habe ich alle meine Bilder in Photoshop CS4 Ex gemacht, aufgrund eines Festplatten Fehlers vor 4 Jahren würden fast alle Bilder Zerstört.
Und zur Zeit bin ich alle Bilder die es wert sind, wieder herzustellen oder neu zu gestalten mit Affinity Photo.
Zu den Glaseffekt dieser würde mit Hilfe der Anpassungsebene Verlaufsumsetzung gestaltet. (Siehe Making of X Bilder)

Hello Affinity Jules,
Originally I took all my pictures in Photoshop CS4 Ex, due to a hard drive bug 4 years ago almost all pictures would be destroyed.
And at the moment I am all pictures that are worth restoring or redesigning with Affinity Photo.
For the glass effect this would be designed using the adjustment level gradient conversion. (See Making of X pictures)

Apart from a couple of my own photos I sourced Unsplash for essential elements.

These are all fun to look at and have a nice underlying style.
Do I see Max Miller in the top picture?

On a whim I found myself looking over some stuff I did in the sixties. After I finished 'Forgotten dreams' I thought it would be fun to remake some of the other doodly stuff. Many days later, here they are. The originals were made on A2 cartridge paper (some from a quarto notebook  original doodle) and the Affinity versions are A3 (and over 500MB!)

Former doodle, worked up into this ...

If you're wondering, the chap in the tree is Patrick Troughton, second Doctory Who; in the boat are Prime Minister Harold Wilson and George Brown (and the head of General de Gaulle). The helicopter could be piloted by Prince Philip.

This was intended to be the first of a series of illustrations to Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds, the Beatles' song. I had the last one sketched out -- newspaper taxis, Plasticine porters, a train in a station -- but never got past the pencil stage. I was very influenced by the fantastic colour patterns in soap bubbles in the sixties, and the swirly designs in the old pic were an attempt to capture them. It's much more fiddly to do in digital, and I tried something a bit different here. Needs more work, but it's a promising technique.
 

 

For Christmas 1967 I got a record player! So I started buying LPs (albums, if you prefer). Then I decide I needed something to protect them when I was carrying them outside the house: two stiff sheets of cardboard, which I lined with cartridge paper and decorated. (I'm still looking for the other side.)
The chap on the left is Bob Dylan, from a photo (that I can't locate); on the right is Stan Webb of Chicken Shack. And at the back, that popular bluesman ...

Despite an appeal of social media, I couldn't find a copy of that pic, so I had to replace Bobby with another photo. I had no idea how few photos show him standing (bit with hos feet cut off) or sitting (but with his legs cut off). The original photo was in a Dylan songbook that's hiding in the attic somewhere.
 
 
 

Nice picture.
I think those spotted mushrooms grow here in the pine forests. I'll search for one and see if I can get a picture.

Well. . .you know how it is. 😁

They're all good, but the nod towards Terry Gilliam done it for me. 
Should of part animated all of them.

The devil finds work for idle hands, they say.  I'm not sure if this counts as keeping out of trouble or the devil's work, but I've been amusing myself searching for self-portraits with a window and ... 'improving' them. (All the additional images I found with Google.) See what you think !

But if you will call yourself Bart Bongy, you're asking for it, aren't you?

This is a self-portrait by 19th century Dutch artist Louis Meijer, but I've been very cheeky and replaced his painting with some artwork of my own. 
I used the Pen tool to select the canvas; if you switch to the Selection brush you can use Refine to, well, refine the selection -- it will do much of the work for you, so you don't have to work so  hard with the Pen. I matched the drawing to the mask with the Perspective tool.

 

Greetings Readers,
In collecting moon pictures to make a composite picture we received 5 very clear days and nights. On each night I took a picture of the moon and processed the images in Affinity Photo. These images show the waxing (getting brighter) moon on 5 consecutive evenings. The first (waxing crescent moon), third(first quarter moon) and fifth(waxing gibbous moon) seem good enough to include in my final composite picture. The top sequence contain the original images and the colour saturated version is the bottom sequence.

Greetings Viewers,
I have been taking pictures of the phases of the moon for a photo competition. I need to get 8 good pictures of the different phases of the moon. Early this morning at 05:20 I took some photographs of the Waning Gibbous moon. The two pictures are:
1. The original colour (looks B&W) image.
and
2. The colour saturated image (looks good enough for the comp.)
To give you an idea of the condition of the sky I took a picture of the sky looking to the north-east. The morning was a cold morning with frost on the ground and totally cloudless and very transparent. The joy of having high altitude aircraft grounded for the last month or so. The colour saturation was increased to show the bands of scattered light.
As the dawn progressed to sunrise the "normal" flock of white cockatoos (about 300 - 400 birds) made their way to their morning roost to join with another (approx 1000 birds) then to take off for the days' foraging for seeds and roots etc.
Next moon session is on Saturday - heavy rain predicted.
Jeremy.

This is a picture from the Harz Mountains. I grew up there and took some photos last year, probably in anticipation of the Corona crisis. So I can make a stroll in the forest, without going there.
It was part of a project for super resolution photos. For this picture I took 23 photos with a Canon M6, six rows with three photos and some spare photos. Normally about 15 are sufficient.
In this case I used all photos trying different software. Affinity, o.k. but a little slow, Autopano from Kolor (not longer available) same result, but much faster. As far as I know, the same algorithm is used in both programmes. Lightroom, stitching o.k. but it was not possible to see the final result in 1:1. Hugin ... no success.
The resulting picture was about 200 Mpx and a resolution of about 300 dpi. I used the slice function and let it print on a roll printer (cost reason) and framed it in an old paravant. It costed me about 70€ printing and shipping.
With the high resolution one can really see the fox gloves (digitalis) and not some "pixel swamp".
For panoramas with spruces there were no problems with stitching. For panoramas with similar views and beech trees, stitching was usually not successful in the leaf area.
Have a nice weekend

Mucking about during Covid downtime. This is a combination of AD and Cinema 4D.

I can see about 6 definite and probably a few more slightly more abstract faces.

 
 

What do you think this is?
…and how many faces can you see.

You've just got to love any photo of Saturn taken by Cassini - composite or not, and going by the top left I see you've made an affirmative statement about the software used to create it. 😀

How tedious! I keep getting ads on social media telling me the creative world runs on a certain photo editor. Ours runs on a different one.
Saturn photo from NASA/Cassini, starry background and merged texture from magazine freebies, stately home window from my own photos and my (hand-tinted) baby brother (many years ago!) from my late father's photos; lots of masking, clipping, a bit of dodging & burning ...
