Thanks for your replies. It was not my intention to use RBGA/32. The setting was probably left this way after some experiments with very high dynamic range HDR. I will try again with 16 bits.

I try to brush over some shiny skin with a soft brush and 20% opacity on a new pixel layer. However, a white ring appear around my brush work: This seems to happen only when I start by developing a NEF-file. When I copy the below pixel layer in a new document, it does not happen. Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong?

I have done several tests with the Development of IR-photos from my modified Nikon D40. I'm still unable to reach the same effect as what I can achief with CameraRaw. For CameraRaw, I have created a custom Camera Profile (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpHo1Fw23to). The photo from the Affinity Develop persona still looks much duller and it is very hard to improve that. As an attachment I have added two versions, Photo _DSC9095PS.jpg is the result of just aplying the standard camera profile and swapping the red and blue channels. Not further improvements. Photo _DSC9095A.jpg is the result of my attempt to reach a similar result in Affinity. So, I'm not very satisfied with the possibilities of the Develop Persona.

Thanks for your response. I'm not using Affinity yet, but am planning to download the evaluation version in the coming weeks to see if I'm able to replace Photoshop. In Adobe Camera Raw, using foliage as reference does not work, since the white balance is too extreme. Instead I had to create a custom .dcp file, to be used as default starting point. Since I know from Camera Raw that this is tricky, a solution for this point is high on my list of requirements. I will try this and let you know.

Since I photograph with a IR-converted camera, this feature is necessary for me, since I have to adjust WB drastically on my Raw images during post-processing. I now do this with a .dcp file I specifically created for this purpose. When will this feature be available in Affinity? Is there any other way to manipulate the WB to a drastical low value?
