Nilla's Photography got a reaction from firstdefence in Colour space: website displays differently to AP jpg
Thanks for the info @firstdefence
I did explain my images "I've attached screenshots of what I see in AP(AP.jpg) and its exported jpg (Preview.jpg)." but perhaps I need to be clearer next time.
Thanks again

Agreed, but it helps for general public sharing online (think of the number of people who tend to share via Pinterest, etc). Any steps you can take to help people source the work can be advantageous.

Nilla's Photography reacted to AffinityFran in RAW file vastly different between processing software when jpg output
Here's where I quickly managed to get (with settings). In a nutshell, because of the extreme contrast of the source you need to get those highlights down and bring out the shadow detail - exactly what the shadows and highlights section is for. As soon as you try to adjust by exposure you'll blow it all out. A nudge up on the brightness helps bring out some of the dark to mid tones without blowing out the highlights. I needed to drop the saturation down a little as it got very orange, and a little clarity helped with the pop. This is with the developer assistant auto-applying a tone curve (lazy!).
Hope that helps, and fantastic image!

I also played something with development.
@AffinityFran has described the path of development.
My settings as follows.:
Disable the Assistant Manager.
Exposure + 0.3%
Contrast + 3%
Clarity + 25%
The remaining settings, see the screenshot.
Cheers

Wow! Thank you and I'm amazed you were able to replicate the auto function. I have a lot to learn about PP and AF - like I said, I really do not like playing around in PP.
Thank you for your feedback - not bad for handheld, no flash, and loads of movement. :-)
Thank you so much again - very much appreciated.

Nilla's Photography got a reaction from Oval in Why is afphoto file so massive when saved?
Thanks all, for your help!
This is what happened last night:
@Oval- tested with a different name and it saved as exactly the same file size.
@IanSG - not sure about this one, maybe
@R C-R - So the problem is that as the file didn't save correctly but still is 1.4GB, when I open it from my external drive, it asks to open a recovery file, then doesn't allow me to save or rename then save, etc. But when I try to save the recovery file with a different name, I get the "Save failed as access to the document was lost" message. When I copy the file from external drive to local and open it, although it's still 1.4GB, the image reverts to the original without any changes (as present in the recovery file) - this is bizarre. I would have thought if it was the original file, then it should be a much smaller size? Also, I zoomed in and can't really see a lot of colour variations as you mentioned.
This is today's update:
I was able to open the recovery document (1.4GB file) from my external drive then rename and save it successfully back to the external drive. The file is now 274.4MB. Perhaps as @IanSG suggested that AF hangs onto disk space somehow and it's not until you close down your machine completely that this is released? Although no longer saved at 1.4GB and has reduced to 274.4MB - still a large file.
Other questions/suggestion:
I ran First Aid on my laptop and external drive, both are OK. By resetting the app, do you mean uninstalling/reinstalling? Is there a temp file that I can salvage the recovery file from? Is it best just to export the jpg and not save the source Afphoto file? At this rate, I'm going to run out of external drive space. As more and more users work from external drives or devices without a lot of storage, it would be great if AF could adapt the application to users' requirements. It's a pain continually moving files from external drive, to local drive, back to external all the time. -

Thanks for the suggestion @gdenby, but at 30% greater of my original jpg file this would only be around 50MB - this aphoto file for the original jpg saved as 561.5MB!
Thanks for the explanation @R C-R although I think that something has changed in my settings - perhaps after an upgrade? I don't remember changing anything. Reason I say this is that my afphoto files of April last year were only around 15-20MB for an original jpg of 7-10MB. But now, the files are massive.
As I mentioned, I don't do a lot of PP and previous to buying AF, I used PS Elements as this covered everything I needed. I did not have this issue using Elements.
Perhaps I shouldn't save the afphoto file as at this rate I'm going to be using up my 2TB external drive in no time at all.
Is there anything in my Preferences dialogue box above that could be pushing the file size out?
Thanks again for your help.
