PaulWilliamson Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hi! It is a picture, that I did not take, from the 90s from another guide that I know. I just want to get rid of the "brightness" and make it a little more subdued. Surely it is all "yellow". I would like to give it to him for a present. But, I want to also know the steps how to "correct" this picture if possible. And, I only want to use Affinity Photo to do this! Thank you so much! -paulw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hi Paul, a very simple way is to add a levels adjustment. Have a look at the histogram. While adjusting Then start with green channel, and adjust gamma to taste (1,2 ) continue with blue (0,86) and red (1,2) channel.

firstdefence Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Or use the white balance adjustment filter (bottom of layers panel), click on the Picker button and a single click where the arrow is pointing to the cross hairs in the image will tone down the yellow nicely.
