  1. I use Color balance adjustment a lot because I do a lot of film scanning and this is the best tool for getting rid of color casts. It only has a missing feature: the ability to affect all tonal ranges. I would just add in the tonal range menù a new option "All tonal ranges". Silverfast have this and it is great to correct color casts that spread on the full tonal range. Hope this could be implemented!
  2. I drop in just to tell that I have the same exact problem on Mac osx. I've scanned a 16bit grayscale 35mm film with Silverfast and Affinity treats it as a RAW file, no problem opening it with Preview. So the problem is not Vuescan, it is the same with Silverfast
  3. Hello, I understand that at the moment it is not possibile to choose rendering intent in the print dialogue. But I'd like to know which one is used by default to be able to soft proofing correctly. Also: is black point compensation on? Thx
  4. Thanks MEB for the feedback. Hope it will be implemented. It would be great for correcting color cast of film scans, thanks to the ability to add more points or a rectangle.
  5. Ok so maybe I'm using the wrong tool (but I think it is the right one, just not working as expected) My intent is to get rid of color casts of scanned films. Usually this is done by using some kind of tool that has two slider: one for blu/yellow axis and one for green/magenta axis. Some more advanced tool also have a picker that helps you doing this automatically. You pick what you think it should be a neutral grey area and the two slider get adjusted. Apple photo has such tool and it works quite good. Some even more advanced tool allows you to choose more than one points and the tool average them to have a better global color cast correction. Silverfast have this kind of tool and it works great but you can only use during scans and not after. Is there a more appropriate tool in Affinity to do this job?
  6. I don't know if it is a bug or an intended behavior... but I will post it, thanks
  7. Thanks I've seen that. but it works only with the "white balance" slider (blu to yellow), not with the "tint" slider (magenta to green). with film scans it is quite common to have problems also in this area. Being the picker under both the slider one would assume that it will set both, but this is not the case
  8. Hi, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to make color picker in White Balance Adjustement working in the way I want. I scan lots of negatives and white balance is really important and not easy to achieve. not only in the blue/yellow axis but also on the magenta/green axis. the color picker could be a great help for that, in particular the possibility to add average multiple whitepoints. I do scan with Silverfast and this software has a tool that works just like that: you sample up to 4 points and you get average white balance on all the color axis. but sometimes I need to do this task after the scan has been made. But from what I see, the Affinity Photo color picker works just for blue/yellow but not for magenta/green. that is a big limitation. In apple photos there is a similar function and it works also for magenta/green. but you can choose only one point and that is usually not enough. a workaround could be to use the info pane and LAB values and do it manually, but there is another problem: the Info Pane Sampler gives values for just one pixel, you can't average 3X3 or larger areas, making useless for this purpose. any solutions? thanks
  9. I saw lots of affinity tutorial that has a "filter menu", but I really don't have it in my trial version (1.6.0 for Mac) also I cannot find new live layer command and/or Unsharp mask maybe it is something obvious, you move it somewhere... can you point me to the new location? thanks
