Workflow to edit your photos

[gonecamping75]

I had been using affinity photo for years but never really asked others how their workflow is to edit their photos. I am shooting all my photos in raw, and I print my photos at a lab so I soft proofing my photos using there ICC colour profiles. I have an Eizio Monitor and use spyder pro 5 to calibrate the monitor. 

I have been using lightroom 6 to set the white point and black point (i really wish affinity photo would fix this so don't have to use lightroom) If I have mulitple photos I will use LR to make all the photos the same and then continue in Affinity Photo. 

I would then use the curves tool to set a "S" curve and then adjust the saturation and vibrance.

I would then look for Tone mapping to see if anything works with the photo. 

Thanks
