Cory C Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Is it possible to have color wheels like the ones in DaVinci Resolve? It is super useful way to adjust colors! Eliasxvz and montery 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fde101 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 It's not just Resolve. The vast majority of color grading applications and plugins offer those. It is not entirely foreign to still photos either, as Capture One has them. Aisthetikos and Cory C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoey Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Those would look great in the Develop Persona as a color grade tab, like photoshop camera raw filter. thomasp and Cory C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just thought it's very popular in video color grading tools and thought it's a very nature UI to grade the color. I'm surprised that it is missing in Affinity Photo.

RichardMH Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 3D LUT Creator also has something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeds Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Duplicate could be [command + d] But Affinity copied Adobe's [command + j] ... that's the extent of Affinity's inspiration from other sources for usability - they ask "what does Adobe do?" and that's it. Good for those coming from Adobe muscle memory. Not so good for progressing digital creativity. Affinity could have decided to care about usability progression and flow. They copied Adobe, instead.

The wheel has already been invented. All that everyone is doing, is adding transformational value to their products. Its the reason why you can differentiate a car that is of a toyota brand, from one that is bentley's. Its the reason you can differentiate an android phone from an iphone. All these products contain essential elements that cannot be reinvented, except modified. What affinity is giving you is non-destructive editing; where, unlike adobe photoshop, you have to create smart objects to keep adjustments still editable. When it comes to photo editing, photoshop is offering their approach and so is affinity. Photoshop believes you have to subscribe to use their products; and affinity believes, that you have to pay once and the product is yours to own. None of these companies, can force you to use their products. Thus, the choice is yours. I don't know how people fail to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you do that? What was the context in which I used it? Calling it ridiculous doesn’t prove anything. You don’t like the fact that, the choice is yours, and that none of these companies can employ force, to make you invest in their products. Why is that a problem for you?

sfriedberg Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 @deedsIf you aren't deliberately trolling, you certainly come across that way. You do this in a lot of different threads, with a lot of different people. Maybe you should make an effort to focus your forum comments to be more technically oriented and on-topic.

Peter Werner Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 The great thing is, purely mathematically speaking, the Lift/Gamma/Gain/Offset wheels don't do anything different from what is already possible with the Levels tool. It's just a different interface. That means if this feature is added to Photo, it could be written to PSD files as a Levels adjustment layer so the file would still come out looking correct in Photoshop or other software. DaVinci Resolve, 3D LUT Creator and similar software have tons of great tools that clearly show that Adobe's color adjustment toolset has not developed much since the 1990ies. Some minor advancements have made it into Camera Raw, but not a lot. I'd be very happy to see some more of these great tools from the film and video world make it into Affinity. deeds, RichardMH and Richs 3 Quote www.peterwerner.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
