CBIweb Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hi everyone, I'm new to Affinity Photo, being a refugee from Photoshop after 22 years (not a fan of their subscription model). In PS there is a feature where I can click a drop-down to choose either Auto Tone or Auto Contrast or Auto Color. In some cases these can be good starting points to further adjust photos. Does Affinity Photo have something similar? If not, what does AP have that I can accomplish the same thing or close to it? Thanks in advance!

The photos I tried can't be so perfect that no adjustment is necessary, lol. I'll look through the manual and see if I'm missing something (other than a few brain cells).

RichardMH Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 How are you applying them? I either duplicate a layer or use merge visible and apply them to the resulting layer. Then I can turn it on and off and the effect is a but more obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you place an image in a document and have Assistant Manager turned off, or the wrong settings in the Assistant Manager you will see no change A short video of your workflow may help us understand why it is not working for you (make sure the Layers panel is visible in the video) Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

RichardMH Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Remember develop personal applies a tone curve unless you've turned it off. Some of the work may have been done there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
