EAVDS Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 I am creating a catalogue promoting a range of aluminium components. All of the photos I have been given by the client have a similar tint/hue/cast to Picture A. Now the customer wants me to include Picture B as well derived from a different source/studio. I have been experimenting with different options to achieve equalisation of the general appearance using Affinity Photo 1.8.3 but I have limited experience in this type of photo manipulation. I can make changes but I cannot get to where I need to be. I am sure it must be possible. Is there somebody out there who can give me some advice? Quote
Staff stokerg Posted June 25, 2020 Staff Posted June 25, 2020 Hi EAVDS and Welcome to the Forums, Closest myself and a colleague could get is attached. We used the 'image A' nested to 'image B' with a Colour blend mode, then a HSL & Split tone adjustment. I've attached the afphoto file to this post colour match.afphoto Quote
smadell Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Here's what I was able to do: 1) Here's Picture A and Picture B next to each other. 2) The first step was to correct the luminosity of Picture B to match that of Picture A. I created a "luminosity check layer" with a grey fill layer, set to blend mode = Color. I added a Curves layer as a child of Picture B, and changed the blend mode to Luminosity. I moved around the points on the curve so that the tone of Picture B was reasonably close to that of Picture A. 3) I turned off the Luminosity Check layer, and created a document palette. I clicked the "hamburger menu" in the Swatches panel and chose "Create Palette from Image..." I pointed the application at the Picture A file, and created a palette of 4 colors (could have been more, of course). Then I created a Gradient Map as a child of Picture B. I used the 4 colors from the Picture A palette to set the colors in the Gradient Map.
