affinity photo A simple HDR photo done with Affinity Photo

[AlejandroJ]

Just a simple photo but this one I developed and edited with Affinity Photo.

I normally process my raw files with DxO and are now (since I bought it) editing the resulting tiff files with Affinity Photo, but for this HDR I used Affinity Photo to automatically process and combine the original raw files from five takes (which I did with different shutter speeds covering a range of about just 2,5 stops difference between the first and last take).

After that, in Persona Photo I erased (cloned out) a small motorboat that I didn’t like to be in the picture, I shrank the sky a bit downwards (using the rectangle selection tool and the move tool) because there was too much sky in the photo, I moved a bit the exposition, changed a bit the white balance, I boosted some colours and de-saturated or darkened others using the HSL tool and also masks, and I sharpened the image using the “mascara de enfoque” (focusing mask?) setting a low “factor” (amount) and a high radius (it works for me).

Not much of a photo, but I am very satisfied with the performance of Affinity Photo, it has become my main photo editing tool. I use ASDSee to manage my photo files though, I hope Serif doesn’t mind 🙂
