Claudio60 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hi all, I'm tryng to reconstructing colors on a scanned positive photo that was partially exposed to light (on the left side) during the developing process; inspecting the channels I noticed that the red channel is damaged (nothing visible on the left side) while in the blue and green channels there are some informations; is there a way to copy these existing info and paste them into the red channel so to reconstruct (at least partially) the original color? I know that with Photoshop you can do it because I read a tutorial on a book that I own (Restoration & Retouching) that explain the exactly procedure, but I'm a newby and I can't find the equivalent command/procedure in Affinity Photo. PS: if I apply a black and white adjustement layer the missing part of the photo is visible. Any help/idea would be appreciated. I'm sorry for my bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio60 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi stokerg, I just uploaded 2 files (named gennaio 91) in your Dropbox. Tks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted March 19, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks for the file Claudio60. Myself and @Leigh are looking at what can be done with this. The Red channel really isn't that great, so we may be very limited to what we can recover/repair the limited data that is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio60 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Tks stokerg, when (and if) you're done, can you please explain me the procedure you're going to follow (in order I can learn it)? PS: don't forget that I'm a newby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted March 20, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi Claudio60, Please see the file here It's the .afphoto file so you can open it up see the different adjustments that have been applied. Using the black and white version to get the detail for the left hand side, we cropped this down so it just had the left side showing and then applied a number of adjustments on top to try and match the overall colour of the image. It's pretty straightforward what each adjustment does, as i've left them with the defaults names Claudio60 and Leigh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio60 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi stokerg, I just downloaded the file and it seems to me you've done a good job, now I'm going to check which adjustements have been applied.to the image and see if I understand the procedure. A big "thank you" for your kindness and effort, I appreciated it very much. So, thanks again and have a nice evening!
