dkj Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I've followed James Ritson's video tutorial on replicating the technicolor effect in Affinity Photo. https://player.vimeo.com/video/155520871/ I've followed the steps carefully, and checked to make sure that all recolour values were set as stated in the video (R=180, G=300, B=60). But I get yellows transformed into a shade of pink. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong? I'd really like to learn how to use this technique to emulate different types of colour film.

firstdefence Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hi @dkj Add your afphoto file to the post so we can take look to see if we can spot where you went wrong. Update: I've done the same process and got the same result.

firstdefence Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Have you set the HSL adjustment to 180 in the Hue Shift and what blend mode are you using on the Red, Green and Blue layers?

Alfred Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 In the video tutorial the main subject’s dress starts out yellow and ends up pink, so perhaps there’s nothing wrong here except that the result was unexpected.

firstdefence Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Ive just had a mix around with the HSL settings and it took a bit of fiddling but I got this result. lake view tweaked.afphoto Alfred and dkj 2 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Mareck Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Like he said at the very beginning of the vidéo (18'), it's usually used for skin tones (portraits), like LUTs they are made for specific conditions. So you can apply an indoor color correction to an outdoor picture but it'll look weird, same here. dkj and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkj Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 I added a Curves adjustment layer to the top of the layer stack and set it to CMYK (also suggested in the video). Then by playing around with the M curve I was able to correct the image somewhat. But Mareck's answer tells me what I needed to know. I'd love to see a tutorial about using Affinity Photo to mimic different types of vintage colour film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look about LUT's, color grading, and raw topics. And in case you're not aware of, there is a great tutorial section in the forum, with lot of subject.
