    Not yet but you are half way there. Do not edit the xml file. The information you are trying to include is actually a report by Exiftool of a corrected 85mm file

    Yes. 

    On Windows I have the Exiftool program in a folder, there is no installation prrocedure. I then set a path to that folder in the environmental variables. Then I would open the folder containing the images, open a Powershell window and do

    exiftool -lenstype2#=32823 -lenstype3#=32823 *.ARW

    which will process every file in that folder. I am sorry but I have no idea how to do that on a Mac but this

    https://www.exiftool.org/install.html

    may help. Good luck

    Thx ill read this last link of exiftool install 

    thx so much for your help

    You can persuade Photo to apply an existing, similar lens correction instead

    Download the relevant fie from https://github.com/lensfun/lensfun/blob/master/data/db/mil-samyang.xml

    Modify the model descriptions
    <model>Samyang AF 14mm F2.8</model> - was Samyang 14mm f/2.8 AE ED AS IF UMC
    <model>SAMYANG AF 85mm F1.4</model> - was Samyang 85mm f/1.4 IF UMC Aspherical

    The attached xml file contains these changes so load it into Photo's Lens Profiles Folder. Preferences\General\click button
    Restart Photo

    That's enough for the 14mm lens but the 85 needs a bit more help as the exif data is so mangled.  Exiftool to the rescue available here https://exiftool.org/

    exiftool -lens* 85.ARW
    displays:
    Lens Type                       : E-Mount, T-Mount, Other Lens or no lens
    Lens Spec                       : E 85mm F1.4
    Lens Zoom Position              : 0%
    Lens Mount 2                    : E-mount
    Lens Type 3                     : Samyang AF 35mm F1.4
    Lens E-mount Version            : 1.70
    Lens Firmware Version           : Ver.03.002
    Lens Mount                      : E-mount
    Lens Format                     : Full-frame
    Lens Type 2                     : Samyang AF 35mm F1.4
    Lens Spec Features              : E
    Lens Info                       : 85mm f/1.4
    Lens Model                      : SAMYANG AF 85mm F1.4
    Lens ID                         : Samyang AF 35mm F1.4

    To fix this do
    exiftool -lenstype2#=32823 -lenstype3#=32823 85.ARW
    and you'll see:
    Lens Type                       : E-Mount, T-Mount, Other Lens or no lens
    Lens Spec                       : E 85mm F1.4
    Lens Zoom Position              : 0%
    Lens Mount 2                    : E-mount
    Lens Type 3                     : Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM or Samyang AF 85mm F1.4

    Samyang1485.xml 3.3 kB · 0 downloads

    Hi @David in Яuislip;

    First at all thanks for your help.... 

    I don't found how download this file https://github.com/lensfun/lensfun/blob/master/data/db/mil-samyang.xml

    I download the file that you let me at the end of the post Samyang1485.xml and i place it in "Lens Profiles Folder" as you indicate me.

    This works pefect for Samyang 14mm F2.8 files now the program change the wrong 35mm for correct 14mm profile.

    But with 85mm i don't understand so much what i have to do. I have to apply this command " exiftool -lenstype2#=32823 -lenstype3#=32823 *******.ARW) for each file who i want to edit??? , because i tried to edit  the file Samyang1485.xml to include this :

    • Lens Type                       : E-Mount, T-Mount, Other Lens or no lens
      Lens Spec                       : E 85mm F1.4
      Lens Zoom Position              : 0%
      Lens Mount 2                    : E-mount
      Lens Type 3                     : Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM or Samyang AF 85mm F1.4
      Lens E-mount Version            : 1.70
      Lens Firmware Version           : Ver.03.002
      Lens Mount                      : E-mount
      Lens Format                     : Full-frame
      Lens Type 2                     : Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM or Samyang AF 85mm F1.4
      Lens Spec Features              : E
      Lens Info                       : 85mm f/1.4
      Lens Model                      : SAMYANG AF 85mm F1.4
      Lens ID                         : Samyang AF 85mm F1.4

    but i can't i really donkt know how doit.

    Sorry for inconvenience but im noob with all these issues.

    For Samyang 14mm f2_8.ARW the file EXIF data that seems relevant is
      

    
  Lens Type                       : E-Mount, T-Mount, Other Lens or no lens
  Lens Spec                       : E 14mm F2.
  Lens Mount                      : E-mount
  Lens Type 3                     : Samyang AF 14mm F2.8 or Samyang AF 35mm F2.8
  Lens Type 2                     : Samyang AF 14mm F2.8 or Samyang AF 35mm F2.8
  Lens ID                         : Samyang AF 35mm F2.8
  Make                            : SONY
  Camera Model Name               : ILCE-7M3

    Photo identifies it by the Lens ID as SAMYANG AF 35MM F2.8.

    The Lensfun database has two entries that are similar, but that do not match:
      

    
 <model>Samyang 14mm f/2.8 AE ED AS IF UMC</model>

    One entry is for a cropfactor of 1, the other for 1.523. But note that that AF is missing.

    --------

    For Samyang 85mm f1_4.ARW:
      

    
  Lens Type                       : E-Mount, T-Mount, Other Lens or no lens
  Lens Spec                       : E 85mm F1.4
  Lens Mount                      : E-mount
  Lens Type 3                     : Samyang AF 35mm F1.4
  Lens Type 2                     : Samyang AF 35mm F1.4
  Lens ID                         : Samyang AF 35mm F1.4
  Make                            : SONY
  Camera Model Name               : ILCE-7M3

    The strange thing about this one is that you have said it's an 85mm lens, and the Lens Spec field says 85mm, but the camera/lens is reporting the lens type and ID as a 35mm lens. The only entry in the lensfun database for a similar lens is this one:
      

    
        <model>Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC</model>
        <!-- This model is really only available for Nikon.  For the other
             brands, the 35/1.4 may have different characteristics. -->

    Note that the model name does not match (which means that Photo won't find it) but also that this lens is only for a Nikon camera.

     

    Result: Basically, both lenses are unknown to Lensfun, and you need to either wait for them to calibrate them and add them to their database, or you need to calibrate them yourself and provide the information to Lensfun for inclusion in their database. The Lensfun website has information about how to ask them to do the calibration, or how to calibrate them yourself.
     

    Hi @walt.farrell  thx so much for your help ill try contact with LENSFUN to try include this lenses in the database..

     

    Saturation Masks - a simple method

    in Resources

    Posted

    On 1/14/2019 at 6:34 PM, smadell said:

    I have been reading Dave Straker’s post about Saturation Masks, and the variety of methods he and others have used to construct them. In looking into this further, I stumbled across a web page written by Tony Kuyper, and he describes a really simple way of creating a Saturation Mask using a Selective Color adjustment layer. A link to his web page is included below:

    http://goodlight.us/writing/saturationmasks/satmask-1.html

    I have attached a Macros Category (import this from the “hamburger” menu on the Library panel) that includes 6 different macros.

    Important Note - Because of a bug in the Selective Color adjustment layer, these macros will not work in version 1.6 of Affinity Photo. However, the apparent bug has been squashed in version 1.7, and the macros give the proper results. At this point, use the macros ONLY in the version 1.7 beta and, presumably, in any version which follows it.

    Saturation Mask - Greyscale

    This macro creates a greyscale version of a saturation mask, based on a “merge visible” pixel layer that takes all of the visible layers into account.

    Vibrance Mask - Greyscale

    This macro creates a greyscale version of a Vibrance Mask. A vibrance mask is the inverse of a saturation mask, and favors areas of relatively low saturation. Vibrance Masks can be used to apply adjustments, etc. to poorly saturated pixels, while masking that adjustment from highly saturated pixels.

    Saturation Mask - Create Mask

    This macro creates a Mask layer out of the greyscale version of the mask. The mask is placed at the top of the layer stack, and can be used as needed.

    Vibrance Mask - Create Mask

    Similar to the above, this macro creates a Mask layer out of the Vibrance Mask greyscale layer.

    Fix OVER-Saturated Image

    This macro puts a 50% grey fill layer at the top of the layer stack, and sets the Blend Mode to Saturation. Without anything further, this would have the effect of desaturating all of the colors in an image. However, the macro attaches a Saturation Mask to the fill layer, which desaturates the colors relative to their existing saturation level. (More highly saturated pixels are affected more strongly.) Finally, the macro asks the user “How much desaturation?” should be applied. This sets the opacity of the fill layer, and can change the amount of DE-saturation applied.

    Fix UNDER-Saturated Image

    This macro puts an HSL adjustment layer at the top of the layer stack, and attaches a Vibrance Mask to the adjustment. The macro asks the user “How much saturation?” and this affects the Saturation slider inside the HSL adjustment. The vibrance mask causes the HSL adjustment to be applied more strongly to pixels with low saturation, and minimizes its effect on highly saturated pixels.

    In some videos on the net I have seen "plug-ins" that allow you to select areas of brightness (luminosity masks) through special macros .... then they manage to change the tones of the mask to include or eliminate some unnecessary areas .... like a sky or a foreground.
    as I downloaded a mascro that creates the luminosity mask in Aphoto I wanted to know if you can then modify it to increase / decrease the areas you are interested in modifying

    Hi @Tony77

    I'm a new user of Affinity Photo and I miss so much in this program the Tony Kuyper panel who is the action that you mentioned in this post...

    Please can you link the videos or the action for the luminosity mask that you said.

    I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by this. :(

    Hi Alfred

    imagine you have an image like a SKY and you did a selection with different blues (deep blue and clear blue) like a degradee and  other colors like withe... you need to select just the deep blue in the selection that you're did first. I don't know how did that 

    I attach you and screenshot.

    i just want select the blue who are in the black box who is in the selection for made a mask

    You can create pixel masks in Affinity Photo, but a simple way to achieve the result you describe is to duplicate the selected pixels onto their own layer (via Cmd+J or Ctrl+J, depending on whether you’re on Mac or Windows) and then select colours from the new layer.

    I dont understand your answer i have same problem tham @London and did exactly the same i need pass through Photoshop.

    My problem is that: once i have a selection area and later i want to refine this selection for an specific color, to do a mask i really cant.

    Hi i

    I share markw's assumption that the second installation is on an external drive or another partition, because in one of the screenshots showing the sidebar there is the drive "Macintosh SSD - Datos".

    But I would like to mention one more thought, which probably does not apply to your problem, but is still worth checking.

    In macOS there is the possibility to install apps for all users of the Mac or only for a certain user.
    So there can be two Applications folders in the system where apps are installed:

    • in the root directory of the system in "Macintosh HD/Applications"
    • in the user's home folder in "Macintosh HD/Users/YourUserName/Applications"

    Therefore my suggestion: Check your home folder to see if there is an Applications folder and if there is an installation of Affinity Photo inside.

    Based on the screenshots I have come to the assumption that there is an installation of Affinity Photo in the Applications folder in the root directory and ianother installation of Affinity Photo in the Applications folder inside the Home folder. With CMD + I you can find out the version and then delete the old version.

    As written, this is just a thought and does not have to apply to your problem, but I didn't want to leave it unmentioned and I think markw's hint ist more accurate.

    Hi reading your answer i realice that last year I upgrade my HDD to an SDD drive and the apple support made me a backup partition .... today i uninstalled that partition because i have allready backup in an external disk .... and all the problems with the old version dissapear.

    Thx all for your great help.

    @Ricardo Sandoval

    Your screenshots show two folders named Applications. One contains the apps which come with macOS, Affinity Photo (1.8.4 ?), Photoshop 2020 and other apps you have installed. The other contains no macOS apps, Affinity Photo (1.7.3 ?), Photoshop 2018 and other apps you have installed.

    Uninstalling AP 1.7.3 is a simple matter of moving it to Trash.

    (The Right-click > "Show in Finder" menu command appears to cause the same as a CMD-click on the dock icon)

    If you open the info.plist in a text editor app:
    What app version number / details do you see in the info.plist for "CFBundle(...)"? For instance to me it shows "1.8.4" and "1.8.4.186":

    EDIT: If you have the version 1.7.3 opened and 1.8.4 closed: Are there two AP icons? Does one or both show a white dot below the icon? Can you show a screenshot of your dock icons together with the app's "About" info screen?

    I follow your steps and with version 1.7.3 open the versions as you can see at the screenshot attached were different the first one is 1.7.3 but the second one is 1.7.155

    As @thomaso suggested, open a document with version 1.7.3.

    On the Dock there should be an AP icon. Right-click on that icon to pop up a menu & look for a menu item named "Options" with a submenu item named "Show In Finder." Select that. What happens?

    Hi R C-R

    I tested. your suggestion and appear the same in the v 1.7.3 as you can see in the next two screenshots appear this version you can chech in the second one the file is dated on 09/26/2019
