ivolino Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I use Photos on Mac with Affinity as plug in. I want to lighten an area with Affinity because its not possible with Photos. How to do it? I tried with Affinity Retouch but I was only able to select an area but not to lighten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 11, 2017 Staff Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hi ivolino, Welcome to Affinity Forums You can use the Affinity Retouch extension for that. Select the Dodge Tool (there's no need to create a selection first), adjust the Dodge Brush settings on the top of the extension screen - make sure the Opacity or the Flow are NOT set to 0% (otherwise you will not see any changes on the image) and use the Hardness control to soften the brush a little (0% softest edges/100% hardest edges), then paint over the area you wan to make brighter. ivolino 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivolino Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Thanks this works. Would be great if I could undo the changes after saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 11, 2017 Staff Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hi ivolino, You can revert back to the original image if you want inside Apple Photos but you can't undo just a single operation done in the extensions after saving the image.

ivolino Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 When I change the Width size I don't see the size of the brush. How can I see the size before I start dodging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
