Thanks the backdrop is wallpaper in the room the fill light was probably too strong or needs a big diffuser it was a test image to learn to work with my new gear , now working on desert and canyon scapes and gas physics in Blender to composite with my action figure photography. The Blackpool photo I made it black and white than split toned it warm colour for the highlights and blueish for the shadows.

Tha😁nks Doh forgot to add glow to the eyes in Affinity. I'm going to have to do more tutorials on selection mask in Affinity I don't like the outline of the hood was hard to do without loosing the strandy bits sticking out.

I've been doing toy photography a couple of months now, this is my latest edited in Capture One, focus stacked in Helicon Focus then composited in Affinity Photo. Jawa & EG-6 Power Droid made by Hot Toys, I bought aquarium rocks, gravel and some coconut sugar, lighting done with 3x Atomcube Rx1 no flash used. https://www.flickr.com/photos/156415473@N07/ https://www.instagram.com/lee.m.ashworth/ Canon M50 EF-M 32mm 1.4 F5 0.3 sec

Keeps crashing when I try to select mask large images. it was rock solid in the last version. Windows 10

Thanks firstdefence I din't know about that trick it does wonders. Now I can see loads of mist in the first one and it looks flat compared to the levels adjusted one.

Hi Hi guys I've been busy, I've enabled the artificial horizon in my camera so I can't get the lamp posts and horizon as wrong. Thanks for all your input, I think I've improved a lot. I might get that EF-M prime lens next. I took this shot from near Winter Hill looking towards Manchester. I had a go at a bracketed photo merged the three shots in Affinity Photo and did a bit of magic. Got myself a tripod now.

Thanks for the tip, my first photo edits look dreadful now.

Thanks ianrb I found once I've uploaded pics there's things I don't like about them a day later so I'll review them for longer before posting. I've backed way off a bit on the tone mapping. I like the oil painting sort of look I used to paint, I'm a big fan of Constable and Johannes Vermeer. I agree about the modern cars there's an alarm box on the house at the top pic I was thinking of using clone to remove that, only thought of it after editing. The tractor was fenced in on a driveway, when I get a tripod I'll experiment with going far lower to the ground if I can. Anglezarke reservoir looks great after the fire fighting on Winter Hill and the heatwaves dried up the shallow end.

Yea top one is a bit over done thanks for your input.

They doing it wrong they need a candle and lay their hands on an upturned glass. I like it.

Really like it, reminds me of the art style of Garbage pale Kids. it works upside down too.

I just came across this problem I'm trying to crop my camera photos so they are full screen on my computer screen I set the exact size for HD then it messes up if I move the crop box. Hope they add vertical only key soon or a crop box that doesn't wonder off the edges of the picture.

Welcome to Affinity Diane.

Not that I can find

It's a great book well thought out and well printed.

Very nice work the pattern reminds me of the early 90s late 80s shoot em up games like R-type and Pulstar.

Hello all I'm Ant from NW England I got into computer graphics in 2000 when I got my first PC learned Cinema 4D, Softimage XSI and adobe software then gave that up for Blender for workflow reasons. I tried going freelance but it didn't work out so moved on to learning music and designing presets for synthesizers. Now I think I'm ready to share my music so been busy this week learning Affinity Designer and photo for my band image. I've just released a downtempo track called Hole In A Hole, I think a synth pop song with vocals is next. My logo was done in Affinity Designer vectors are so easy in Affinity thanks. My band name is Humans R Ants.

Looks well thought out I like the GUI.

I use Corsair Scimitar, plenty of buttons on it and the top two can be used to switch between DPI modes.
