Kennethchase Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I was disappointed when I imported a photo selected one person of four whose face fell into shadow and was much darker than the others. in photoshop I would select the face and use exposure to lighten it in balance with the others. Could not do this in Affinity. am I missing something? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi @Kennethchase That is very easy to do. You didn't say Photo or Designer but they are fairly similar Take these four ladies as an example. Make a pixel selection of the face you want to change. I selected the face of the lady 2nd from left because she was the darkest to start with. Apply a Levels Adjustment and it will be masked inside the pixel selection area. Adjust to suit. I deliberately overdid it a bit for demonstration purposes. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennethchase Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Thank you: pixel selection? I used the tool that indicated a dotted line around the selection. Is that different than a pixel selection? And I used photo,iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 A pixel selection is what the selection tool makes. The dotted lines (called marching ants) are there to indicate the selected area. What is happening for you? Potential problem. Wrong layer selected? If you added an adjustment layer, make sure you are not trying to select on that. Tap on the pixel layer in the Layers Studio.

Kennethchase Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Thanks again. Only one layer. Maybe there was some glitch in the app. no idea why nothing would change in the selection. i ended up using another app. much appreciate your input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
