bpcmd Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hello, I just started working with Affinity Photo from Paintshop Pro. I am an ammeter, but reasonably good at photo editing. Anyway, I don't even know if it is possible, but after trying everything to bring this subtle rainbow out in the background layer, and it seems like experimenting with the threshold gave me the best result. The rainbow is too faint for the selection brush to work and thus if I try to select and saturate it effects too much of the sky. The threshold adjustment seems to have produced a pinkish hue in the highlights in the background and I was going to select it and play with the highlights with the HSL adjustment, but I thought I'd take a shot and ask. Thanks in advance for any advice. us and rainbow post.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Leigh Posted November 5, 2015 Staff Share Posted November 5, 2015 Welcome to the forum bpcmd :) I would duplicate the layer containing the Rainbow and set its Blend Mode to Vivid Light and then add a Mask to remove the land and sea. You can then add a Denoise Filter to remove the noise. I've attached my attempt :) us and rainbow post_updated.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpcmd Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Thank you Leigh for pointing me in the right direction. I did not know much about blend modes and I can see what you did. I also like what the effect did with the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
