I've started with affinity and tried Photoshop meanwhile... And felt I don't really need it. Because all what I did here I did pretty much same there. Layers, masks, blending modes, plugins etc etc... Even workflow is the same. Photoshop also freezes and crashes. Photoshop is not bug free. Adobe subscription is good because you get Lightroom too with it, not because Photoshop is necessary superior to affinity. Just my two cents.

Hi, Appreciate the answer. I am using Desktop Affinity photo for OSX, What I need the light to propagate evenly on the curvature. Attached is screenshot of two layers, black over white. Imagine underexposed to overexposed image. Painting black on mask exposes the overexposed image underneath. For exposing such, I am using gradients to whenever I can. On the left of that image I have linear gradient (obvious one) with three white-black-white points, and when dealing with straight architecture lines I use those to evenly spread light, or conical or whatever gradient is offered and suits me at the time. However when I have curvature, like on the right of this example *made by brush and looks pretty bad, I am struggling, maybe I am missing something and something similar is possible indeed.

Hi all, I am Affinity user for sometime now. I know this question has been on for sometime, but no definitive answer. Specifically, my problem is if I have a curved shape and I want to add lighting which is tracking it along it's curvature. Like for example I want to selectively lighten the Highway loop middle part and I want this lighting to follow the that curved loop. The lighting must be from the neutral exposure image underneath the underexposed. With straight objects this is fairly simple, I will add a mask layer to an underexposed image, which is on top of neutral image. Next, I will be using gradients on mask (normally Black and White) as they are giving smooth transitions between layers and are extremely helpful. I have tried with vector objects, drawing pen, rasterizing to mask, but so far nothing works. Any suggestion?? thanks

Hi Gabe, thanks for your suggestions, it wasn't actually what I need, but I have found a workaround by applying haze removal only to a selection and later smudging the sharp residue pixelization. It ended up pretty well.. thanks anyways

Good day, N00b here So sorry, question too is bit noob-ish... I like this program, Took a photo of a sea horizon with some clouds, etcetera, but horizon is splitted by an object in the middle of the photo, a crane that is... Later on I have applied haze removal filter, but it did not removed haze on entire photo, the small left part of the photo (piece of horizon) remained the same, and now I have two different colors of horizon, the crane is in the middle (for what is worth meantioning). Is there a way to work this around? I tried selecting, copying, pasting piece of the horizon which would match into the selection, but I ended up tangled into confusing myself.. Many thanks and appreciate
