Ashwin Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 When I look at the different personas (Develop/Tone Mapping/Develop), I see that many of the same features are available or can be achieved using all three. Can someone explain to me why I would want to use, let's say, the Tone Mapping persona for saturation/blackpoint/shadows/highlights instead of the Develop persona? I have an HDR merge that I'm working on, for example, and wondering if it's better to make the destructive changes in the tone mapping persona vs. the non-destructive changes in the Photo persona.

Staff Callum Posted October 19, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hi Ashwin, Welcome to the forums The below post from MEB explains why you would use the Develop Persona over other personas. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/17702-confused-about-the-use-of-develop-persona/&do=findComment&comment=81164 Thanks Callum Ashwin 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

Ashwin Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hi Callum, Thanks for the link! Does that mean that when opening a RAW file, even if I make no changes in the Develop persona, Affinity photo is applying some kind of compression when I hit the Apply button? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
