EricGraphix Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 In a photoshop tutorial the whitepoint color picker found in the levels dialog box is used on the earrings background to make it pure white. Is there an alternative method to this in affinity photo? 222670981_WhiteBackground-1.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee_T Posted November 7, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hi EricGraphix, For this image, I would correct the white balance a little then using the levels adjustment, bring down the white level a touch. This should give the desired result. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricGraphix Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Thanks for the help and sorry for the big file size. I realize I could have shared only the first layer image. Lee_T 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- S - Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Although there are alternative methods that can be reasonably quick depending on what you're doing, in order to replicate what Photoshop does with white point, grey point and black point pickers in Curves and Levels, it is a slow manual process in Affinity Photo. Those pickers are something that anyone who uses Photoshop will absolutely miss in Affinity Photo as they save a lot of time. Even more so with old faded scanned images – the Photoshop pickers are pretty great, along with the "Auto" button in Curves, that users can [ALT/OPT + Click] to bring up the settings. To try to mimick the Photoshop white point picker directly, you need to determine what point of the image should be pure white (R=255, G=255, B=255) and manually adjust the white point of each RGB channel with a Curves adjustment layer – using the Info pane as a guide. But it will quickly become a PITA, unless you only have a couple of images to work on. Maybe Serif will add them in the future… Video: Video.mp4 Affinity File: 222670981_WhiteBackground-1 (NEW).afphoto [Removed to save space] loukash and EricGraphix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 For the future, I'd invest in a light box, it will make editing a lot simpler, Just glue some fishing wire to the ceiling of the light box and hang the jewellery from that, you'll end up with decent exposure and white balance and no shadows to deal with.
