BlueSailing Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 I keep failing to find adjustment sliders for specific colors in Affinity Photo. Have searched around in RAW as well. Please let me know if Photo has this feature. thanks! Quote
v_kyr Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 No not exactly in that same slider adjustment way, instead other color adjustment panels which will give similar color setting effects. etc. BlueSailing 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2
smadell Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 You can adjust saturation (as well as Hue and Luminance) for the entire photo, but also for individual colors (Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta) with the HSL Adjustment. You can also choose one of the color ranges and click the "Picker" button, then choose a color directly from your photo; you can change hue, saturation, and luminosity for that specific color as well. In the picture below, I've clicked on the Reds color range. Any changes made to Hue, Saturation, and Luminosity will only affect that color range. You can also use the Split Toning adjustment to add color to shadows and/or highlights. Alternately, use the Selective Color adjustment to modify specific colors, or to modify the color quality of the Whites, Neutrals, and/or Blacks.

BlueSailing Posted December 21, 2019 Author Posted December 21, 2019 That's huge info! You've solved a ton problems in just those few sentences! I tried it all on an image and the result was great. I don't think Affinity's tutorials covered those topics very strongly. Can you recommend a video or other doc? Thank you! Quote
smadell Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 1] On YouTube, search for “Affinity Revolution.” Ezra Anderson and his wife do a lot of free tutorials, including some beginner videos. 2] Also onYouTube, look for InAffinity. It’s a channel from Dave Straker (dmstraker on this forum). Loads of good stuff in 4-8 minute chunks. Sometimes a little nerdy, but really good info. Also free. 3] Simon Foster’s courses on Udemy.com are well-regarded. Most of them are not free, but there is a beginner series that is free. 4] Prior to version 1.7, Serif had well over 100 video tutorials that they deprecated and replaced with the current ones. I think they are still available online, but I’m not sure where. Maybe someone else can chime in here. 5) Many (perhaps most) of the online Photoshop tutorials can be duplicated in Affinity Photo, with a few notable exceptions (like “smart objects”).

BlueSailing Posted December 21, 2019 Author Posted December 21, 2019 The links worked fine for me. Thanks again for your great help! I plan on watching and studying all of these! Quote
