Now corrected

Well, some viewers don’t handle color profiles correctly. There is nothing what Affinity can do to fix bugs in other vendors (or free) software.

Hi, please review the lists found here: The list will differ on Apple devices depending on the chosen RAW engine. Some newer camera models get support from Apple faster that from Serif. DNG files are supported in principle, but it depends on the actualcamera model.

Left afphoto, right jpg. Both boosted 10x in brightness.

I can’t spot any relevant difference between the afphoto file and the uploaded image file, neither visually nor numerically (pasting in the jpg, using blend mode difference and a levels adjustment with white level 4%. The adjustments you added all reduce the visibility of the tail, it becomes so dark that it becomes very difficult to see in all versions.

Great that you sorted this out. Have fun with the apps and do not hesitate to ask in the forum.

See screenshot below. create a shape of 360x180px, having white area with black edge. export as png In Designer, create new image brush from png create curve (rope) assign image brush in the example I used a gradient to better visualize how this works. Add cups at line ends manually, to avoid unwanted stretching

This question has been asked before. Unfortunately there is no function to give this result for vector / curves. If you can live with raster/bitmap results, it is possible with special crafted pixel brushes.

Why do you activate preserve alpha? It’s function is to not affect any transparent areas, and what you describe is just the consequence. Deactivate preserve alpha.

According to help, Pantone colors become automatically spot colors when applied. No need to add them manually. https://affinity.help/designer/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Clr/spotClr.html?title=Spot colors As well as setting a global color to be a spot color, you can use pre-supplied PANTONE® colors, which will automatically become a global spot color in the Swatches panel's document palette when applied. A spot color swatch is indicated by a small dot in the bottom-right corner of its color swatch. You can check if a spot color has been assigned to an object's stroke or fill by using the Colorpanel. When publishing to PDF, the Honor spot colors option in the Export Options panel (Export Persona selected) lets you include spot colors in your output. You can also make the spot colors overprint in the same panel.

Just guessing: Topaz may only support RGB/8 and RGB/16, but not RGB/32. try to copy/paste a merged pixel layer into new document, and change color format to RGB/16.

While correct in a very narrow interpretation, it is definitely possible to achieve the same effect by editing on iPad, but using those methods which are available.

Please try the file below, it shows how the layers should be arranged. spot.afdesign

Can you upload the actual image, or at least a small portion of it?

Or search for similar tutorials covering Photo on iPad specifically

It would be simpler if you explain what results you want to achieve. For most, there are other workflows on iPad. I don’t speak French so just assuming that the video shows maximizing the histogram. You can do this by inspecting the histogram instead of the info panel.

That tutorial is for the desktop version. IPad has only a subset of this function. E.g. the info panel is not available.

When you have the selection active, just add a mask layer. This can be done via the layer menu, or the + symbol in the layer panel. The mask automatically inherits the active selection. Don’t forget to deselect all after creating the mask. By default, the created mask is nested to the pixel layer. You can then click-drag it with mouse, hold it over the layer thumbnail of the rectangle, and let go. Repeat that process for every spot color.

What exactly are you looking for? I never seen anything like „Info“ tab in Develop Persona where the Histogram is shown. Instead, there is a separate Metadata tab, showing relevant Camera / lens related data.

But you can use workarounds: create a rectangular shape covering the whole canvas for every spot color, and assign the spot color. put your pixel layer on top using select sampled color, create a mask and nest it to the desired rectangle When done, deactivate or delete the pixel layer

To my knowledge Spot colors are used only for vector layers. Pixel layers just get the CMYK colors, there is no way to store the relation to a spot color.

That is by design. RAW, Liquify and ToneMap persona work one one specific pixel layer only. To work with multiple layers you need to switch to Photo Persona.

Thanks. Using this file i can only confirms what have been said before. The color picker for curves adjustments uses lightness values only. It does not reflect the selected color channel. If you use the channel spaniel to show only lightness channel, you see what is happening. Unfortunately the colors patches have some minor deviations, which are not shown in info panel or color panel in LAB mode with only 1% resolution. It summarize, the color picker might not work as you expect, but for me it seems „works as designed“.

If you resize e.g. from even to odd canvas size, the pixel layer may get to a non-integer position, thus giving the blurry rendering when using default bilinear resample. To check, please activate nearest neighbor in settings. If rendering gets sharp again, we found the issue. Other potential issues: Affinity tend to temporary produce low quality preview due to mipmap rendering. Try to zoom in/out, this triggers a redraw. Please check if the actual layer is blurred, or one of the rendering issues above occurs.
