This is my first photo from the new release of Affinity Photo. For those who might be interested, the photo is from a RAW file opened in AP, slightly adjusted and then developed. The image was then exported out of AP in 3x which resulted in a 219 MB PNG file with the image at approx 48 x 36 inches with a resolution of 288 ppi. I then squished it down to upload to the forum. The image is a macro photo of a small agate stone that has been cut and polished. Affinity Photo handled the whole thing like a trooper. No hesitation, no slowness, no fuss, no bother. I really like this program. Since I have zero experience or talent in this area, I am really pleased at the result. Thank you guys at Serif. Nice job !

It would be great to have global clipping warnings inside of the regular Photo persona. Photoshop has implemented clipping warning overlays as part of a few tools, such as Levels and Curves, but it won't for instance help you when you are trying to use the dodge and burn tools to get a pure white or pure black background and other workflows. Since I assume that this is already planned as part of the Curves and Levels improvements on the roadmap, I would suggest to make it a view option, accessible either from the View menu or in the Histogram/Scopes panels that can be used at any time, with any of the tools available instead of adding it only to two or meticulously adding it to all sorts of adjustments manually. Holding Option inside Levels/Curves and on the Luminosity slider in HSL adjustments, Black&White etc. would then temporary toggle that option to the opposite of its current setting (i.e. on when it's off and off when it's on). Video cameras often implement the overlay as a zebra pattern, and you can customize the threshold at which it shows up. That's actually a useful workflow for other areas as well. For instance, you could have your clipping warnings at 95% if you wanted to see which areas are reaching a range that while they might not be clipped, would not show detail when offset printing the image. A preference to animate a zebra pattern inside the clipping warning, like the marching ants of selections do, would also make it help stand out when the image is visually very similar to the overlay pattern.- 2 replies

In addition to the current sampling settings in the Healing Brush etc., a "Current Layer and Below in Group" option would be very useful. One frequent use case would be frequency separation. I like to use two groups, one for the low frequency and one for the high pass image. I can then create additional layers in each one. For the low pass group, that's pretty simple since "Current Layer & Below" will work fine. To work with layers inside the high frequency group, however, I need to manually hide all layers below until I can clone/heal from the high frequency image only onto a new layer. That means I currently get no live preview of my results, and checking what I am doing involves manually selecting and toggling all layers below all the time. Being able to restrict sampling to the current group would solve these issues. Also, a checkbox inside the Frequency Separation command to create groups with layers in them instead of single layers would save the trouble of creating the groups, setting the high frequency layer's blend mode to normal and setting the high frequency group's blend mode to Linear Light every time, and it could even create empty layers above each base layer as well. While I am at it, it would be very nice if the Blemish Removal Tool could also get sampling options since that is really the only way one could work non-destructively with that particular tool.

Hi, Just curious when we'll see the new Tutorials for AP? :)
-
Downloaded the app! yay.. making my way through the menu, so I can replace Adobe. I was excited to read that it works with PS plugins. I use the Portraiture plugin and have upgraded it to work with the newest PS. I told AP where the plugin folder was. Tried to use it, and every time, this plug in seems to crash AP. It opens, I set it, and get no further. It simply closes the program. help!

Hi friends, Now that I have purchased the Affiniy Photo Inhad dreamed that this one of my former questions would be answered by the working of the app. ut I am desappointed for is not. I am longing to get the selection outline being softened by a slight blurring, but as much as I repeat the action, select-shrink-invert selection-apply blurring....the result is that the blurring does affect the whole shape and. not the outline that is outside of the "marching ants" I have followed a moderator's instructions or tips and the hing does happen again and again, Can anyone have tried to do this action and succeed? I would appreciiate, again a bit of. help in this, Is important for my conpositions and though I coulld refine the outlines with Photoshop...mmmm....the thing is to get ride of it as much as possible...you see. Thank you so much in advance. Rosa -
just purchased Affinity Photo from app store for $39.99 but the charge on my credit card shows $44.98, why? -
This is my second full image produced with Photo. Once again it is quite simple and, once again, it is focused on familiarising myself with a small set of specific tools. My previous image (the egg) focused on pen and brushes. This image focuses on vector shapes, boolean operations, fills and mesh warping. The snake was created from the rectangular texture shown in the inset above. I used the wonderful Mesh Warp Tool. This is an amazing tool!! The ability to define where you put the mesh grid yourself is just terrific. Whoever developed this gets my five star award ...... so if someone from Serif is reading this please pass this on to them. :) I also played with the Deform Filter but failed utterly to comprehend its workings and got hopelessly lost. So I shall have to hope that there is a tutorial on this later. :unsure: This really is a great app! :) :)

The screenshot below was taken in AD. The alignment and distribution blocks are missing from AP's toolbar customisation window. As it currently is, one has to drag the alignment buttons one by one to the toolbar (not as convenient as dragging the blocks). Could we have them in AP as well please? Cheers!

Ok so my mum asked me to fix some photo's to put into new frames on her photo wall. They had all been trimmed in the past to fit oval place holders. One of the photos had a face obscured by a shadow......here we go. 1. The shadow of a tree is blocking my face (one on the left). I duplicated the layer, removed everything except my face from the new layer. Brightened the layer a lot, and the blended it into the base layer. 2. With this one i needed to fill in the blank areas and restore the photo. The clone tool was used to fill the edges, and i adjusted the contrast. I could have used the clone tool to repair the scratches but went to Snapheal for speed. Back to affinity photo and i used layers and the selection brush tool to fill areas with some colour. These were then blended using Multiply and an opacity of around 20-30% .....with more time i would have tidied things up a bit, oh the joys of a paid job and kids to keep me busy.

My question right now is how to compile multiple images into a layout for a website header. I created a new document as a web file with a transparent background. I created a new layer, opened my first image, and copy/pasted it into the document, but it pasted onto the background and not the new layer. So I can't move it, and I'm not sure how to put it onto a different layer and keep the background layer clear. As a disclaimer: I'm trying to learn Affinity Photo without prior experience with Photoshop or any other similar editing program. I would love any help someone can offer! Thanks so much! :-) ~ Stacey -

Hi, I'm trying to replace Photoshop with Affinity Photo, but I'm kind of stuck in my process right now. I've read smart objects are on the roadmap, but I'm trying to figure out if I can just use the current feature allowing to embed an image. So let's say I want to make a basic compositing with two pictures in the same file. I have "placed" my two picture A and B, on the left and the right side, and grouped them. Now I have duplicated that group, switched A and B to get B on the left and A on the right. I there any means to have A replaced in both group if I "replace image" ? -
I have a black logo on a white backbround as a JPG image. I would like to make all the White transparent (alpha channel), so that I can save it as a Black Logo on a Transparent background PNG. What is the cleanest/ most accurate way to do this, please? Using a bitmap image as a mask is ideally what I need (copy the inverted greyscale image into the alpha channel to get the transparency) any help is really appreciated. I have Affinity Designer & Photo beta. -
Recently I had a client for a portrait shoot. She is an actress and someone really talented and full of crazy ideas. The resulting images where very good and but I wanna do something different so I played a bit with Affinity Photo and this is the result.

Hi, My take on a classic. Made the shots dramatic to enhance the feeling of old and prestige. Rendering time was quite short about 5 min each. POST in Affinity Photo Beta. ;) For more pics check my behance + a modeling timelapse. https://www.behance.net/gallery/24002497/Classical-Violin? Cheers, Vlad

Hi All, You might have seen this on social media, but could be useful here - a quick introduction to the Live Filter Layers Andy added to the beta build last week... -
Hey guys, Here is something I done in Modo today. Post in Affinity Photo Beta. Everything went smooth apart from those live filters hanging and slowing things done.... A LOT!!!! Render time about 2 hours with Modo Renderer. Hope you like it :) Cheers, Vlad

I have an image where I need to remove a wall-outlet right next to a dress and I am having a ridiculous time getting a clean removal. (Yes, I know I should have moved her over 3 inches and this would not be a problem...the first few shots taken all was well and then they must have moved and I didn't pay attention and these were the ones where they looked the most adorable...wedding day rushes with the little ones :-) I worked for literally three hours trying to use the different options: healing, inpainting, patch, etc and I had to do several things to get it removed and it is not even a clean removal. I am attaching the image and if you would be so kind as to tell me how to go about this, I would be super grateful. For some reason, I am unable to attach the image...it won't let me. I can try to upload a different way if you share how. Thanks so much! Amy
