daveb2 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I am a pretty new user to Affinity Photo. Editing to date has been basic; white balance, levels, etc. Attached is the photo being edited. I would like the tree tops, covered in snow, to be a bit whiter so as to stand out some. I have not the slightest idea how or if this can be accomplished. I have search online for "how to" videos, but have found nothing I think is helpful. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Use Layer > New Adjustment Layer > White Balance, the click on the Picker box and select one of the treetops. This will attempt to set the colour of these to white. I did this with your image and got this: Not really a great improvement!

kaffeeundsalz Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 How about placing a Fill layer with white above the image and then limiting the effect to just the treetops using blend ranges? In this example, I additionally masked out the Fill layer so it only affects the desired parts. As a bonus, I added a blue tint using a Lens Filter adjustment to give the whole scene a colder appearance. It does look unnatural in the foreground because of the bright yellow trees, but this was just a quick example.
