Patchoulius Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I have swapped from Adobe to here. I've been a Photoshop user since 1997 but always felt Adobe were extortionately overpricing their products. I tried and loved Affinity...yes, there are a few glitches, but it's quicker, more accessible and even more powerful in places. I used Serif products way back in the early 2000's on a PC and always liked them. Now that Adobe are using a subscription system, I want no more from them. One area of silver photography where I have had to find my own way to reproduce an equivalent effect is that of diffusing the image by using a lady's stocking under the enlarger lens, diffusing the highlights, which as it was in negative, would be the shadow areas on the print, giving a beautiful skin tone and a broody darkness to the image. I would then hand-colour the image using dyes. I was sponsored by Photo Technology who made them back in the 80's. Affinity is a real delight to find and my first image is offered here; a digital stocking-diffused, hand-coloured black-and-white image.
