[Can't find preset in Affinity V2]

Thanks a lot 😀

[Can't find preset in Affinity V2]

I have upgraded from V1 to V2. I've made some preset under Curves, but can't find them. Pretty easy in V1 as screenshots show. Where is the Adjustment in V2 ?

[Affinity trinity V1 and V2]

Ok , it looks like I have to go for Trinity V2 with all 3 apps.

[Affinity trinity V1 and V2]

Hi , I have the Affinity trinity V1

Have to admit that I don't use Designer much  , maybe once a month.  Almost never used Publisher.

Use Photo a lot. Plan to upgrade to Photo V2. My question is will Photo V2 work together with publisher and designer V1

[Exporting a PNG file from Designer]

Thanks , it now pop up in Fast Stone. All I did was adding :  a.png

 

[Exporting a PNG file from Designer]

I'm a newbie to Designer , and obviously doing something wrong when I exporting a PNG file.

The picture I imported is a PNG file - did some adjusting in Designer ( made a path blank) and exported it. Neither Fast Stone or Windows Explorer can read it. As you see , the file is there...

Took some screen recording.

 

[Affinity products for Linux]

 I find it  a bit strange that Agriggio who is making ART ( a fork of Rawtherapee , with advanced local adjustment ) is doing all the job by developing the prog  himself, and porting it to Linux. He's getting help from Gaaned92 with porting it to Windows and Carmelo_DrRaw porting it to Mac ...

These guys is doing  a heck of a good job.....

If you shoot RAW the best option is  DxO Deep PRIME. It's simply in it's own class , much better then the other alternatives.

Topaz Denoise AI is also very good. It support both RAW and JPEG. You can also mask selected area for denoising.

That's true. But would that affect the RAW quality or the editing options.

In my opinion yes. DxO is known for it's fantastic PRIME noise reduction. No one out there is even close to it. For high iso - noisy images it can just do miracle. There's been lots of threads in the Dpreview/Retouching forum about this.

And there is the Clear View Plus , almost similar to dehaze function , but DxO has just taken it  a step further.

Here is a list of what's differ the two versions :

I also have bought DXO as part of Nik Tools, but I don't use it.

Then you have the Essential version. I would not use it ether. It's in the Elite version all the good stuff  are.

In AP, unless I missed something, once you have developed the image in the Develop Persona, you have no way to go back. If you reload the RAW file, your settings are lost and you have to start again from scratch.

That's a huge difference, indeed. Not talking about the development quality. For me, the Develop Persona is superfluous. See my post above.

Unless I'm wrong , I think it's called destructive editing. Many times I try to edit a RAW file  in Affinity , i'm getting a pink tint which is almost impossible to get rid of.

True softwarewise but what difference does it make?

Nothing for you , since you already know it 😄

But what if a person has CS6 and try to open a RAW file from a new camera ?

Hi @peanutbutter

 

• Photoshop (as possibly Photoshop Elements) has the most clinical, neutral rendering. Mostly for studio photographers I presume. It aims at resolving as many details as possible resulting in boring, digital images. It is feature rich though with several state of the art algorithms though so you can easily adjust and enhance the image. Outstanding highlight and shadow recovery plus texture, clarity and

You could also try open source RAW converters - there are quite a few. But please check out at least DxO Photolab. You will save hours and hours of trial and error and get consistent excellent results. Well worth the money.

It's not correct that Photoshop is editing RAW files. It will send the RAW file to ACR ( It's the same as Affinity will send a RAW file to Develop Persona)

 

I agree that he should check out DxO. I have both latest ACR/Lightroom and DxO , and I like them both , but often DxO is just outclassing ACR/Lightroom

Hopefully Affinity will get this in the near future. That's one of the reason I  can't leave Photoshop for the moment.
