The Chimp Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I'm quite new to Affinity Photo and I'm trying to make some use of the High Pass filter. Unfortunately, each time I use it I don't the results I'm expecting, especially when I'm following a tutorial video. The only way I can get it work 'correctly' is if I convert the image to RGB8 as opposed to RGB16 (or if I export the image as a standard JPG file). Is the HP filter supposed to work on RAW files too, because it isn't doing that for me. The attached file is an example of what happens when I take a RAW file into Photo, Develop it and then apply the HP filter with Vivid Light Blend Mode. It's the same issue regardless of whether the image is colour or B&W. However, if I export the developed image to JPG and reopen it the filter works as it does in the tutorials I'm following! Advice please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Welcome to the forums @The Chimp, This is know bug, reported about 2 yrs ago, and it seems has not been fixed yet. We need to use another blend mode, such as overlay, softlight. Also as you found out, using RGB/8 color space.

Unfortunately, each time I use it I don't the results I'm expecting Hi @The Chimp I can't replicate your problem so I can't guarantee this will work. You could try to create the high pass layer manually. I recorded a macro so it will only take a minute for you to test it. Play with the gaussian blur to set the amount of sharpening. To import a macro you need Library (View > Studio > Library) HighPass.afmacros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chimp Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 @Lisbon @Ron P. Thanks for the replies folks, much appreciated. Sadly I'm seeing quite a few issues that don't appear to be receiving any serious attention, Hardware Acceleration being one other. Never mind, I'll persevere regardless. @Lisbon Thanks for the macro, I'll give it a spin. If it doesn't work, well its a useful addition to my newbie library Onwards and upwards....
