Sylverzone Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I had a macro set up on V1 that used the HSL adjustment level in an image to line drawing process. It worked by 'desaturating' the image to black and white. It no longer does that but leaves it with a 'greenish' tinge. What has changed about this please? And based on the following what can I do to replace that step? My process was to take an image, duplicate it, add the HSL adjustment layer to the duplicate and desaturate it. Then I changed the blend mode on the image to Color dodge, inverted it and then added a live filter layer and a Gaussian blur which when adjusted changed the image to a line drawing - not perfect, but good enough. Now the 'line drawing' is in color instead of grayscale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Can you upload the macro? Need to confirm the problem before analysing it Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Sylverzone Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Unfortunately not - it didn't transfer across and I had to delete V1 of Photo to make room on my SSD. I have a video showing exactly what I did on my YT channel if that helps? It is less about the macro and more about the process. Video is here Relevant part starts at 5:26 ish for a couple of minutes. It is the HSL choice that no longer works the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardMH Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I followed your procedure and got a B&W image. No greenish tinge. Windows 11. What happens if you use the channel mixer with Grey selected rather than RGB? Can you post a screen shot of the HSL panel and the green image?

Sylverzone Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 It doesn't happen at the HSL stage - it happens when I change the blend mode (the next step) to Color Dodge ... see below ... where it used to stay as B/W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted February 14, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 14, 2023 Hi @Sylverzone, Thanks for your report and our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here. We are exceptionally busy following the release of V2 and we thank you for your continued patience and understanding here.

I have tested the above workflow in Affinity Photo 2.0.4 and this has worked as expected for me, the image becomes B&W after adding the HSL layer and adjusting, then when inverting the duplicated pixel layer my image becomes white and does not leave behind colour as you've described. Can you please re-test this in the latest update for me, and if this is still occurring can you please attach a copy of your .afphoto file here that shows this, such that I can investigate this further? Many thanks in advance! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Not nested but at the top of the all the layers. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
