Puck Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Hi there, First of all I wanna say I'm very happy with the new 1.7 version of Photo! But it looks like the 'Shadows/Highlights' filter doesn't work properly in the Tone Mapping Persona. 'Shadows' doesn't show any effect while the 'Highlights' are working. No matter whether metal is on or off. Best regards, Puck Quote iMac 2017, 16 GB RAM, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB, MacOS Ventura 13.7.4 (22H420) - Affinity V2-Universallizenz
Staff MEB Posted June 13, 2019 Staff Posted June 13, 2019 Hi Puck, Just to clear this out, you are talking about the Shadows /Highlights controls in the Tone Map panel on the right correct? They seem to be working fine for me. Have you tried with another/different image? Maybe the results were too subtle with the one you were using? Press and hold ctrl while launching the application until a Clear User Data dialog appears. Keep the first three checkboxes ticked only then press Clear. Then try the Shadows/highlights controls again in Tone Mapping Persona. Are you still experiencing the same result? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software

Hi MEB, yes I'm talking about the Shadows / Highlights controls in the Tone Map panel on the right. Pressing and holding control-key (not 'alt' on a Mac) during restart dosen't solve the problem, neither with other images. The 'normal' Shadows / Highlights-filter (no matter whether life-filter or non-life-filter) in Photo Persona works fine!

hanshab Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I also found the shadows slider in tone mappings does absolutely nothing on a variety of photos. The highlights adjustment there is extremely sensitive. in the photo person the highlights. shadows adjustment should NEVER be used. The live filter version gives strange results win RGB when you apply stronger versions of the filter. by changing the contrast All this is suggesting that the algorithm may need to be reworked. thanks Quote

As I mentioned earlier, Shadows /Highlights controls in the Tone Map panel doesn't work in Photo 1.7.1 MAS, neither in 1.7.2.146 Beta. For clarification: Highlights works, Shadows doesn't.

Staff MEB Posted July 8, 2019 Staff Posted July 8, 2019 Hi Puck, hanshab, I've been trying this with a few different images (from developed RAW's to JPG's) and still can't reproduce the issue here. Forgetting the quality of the output for a moment it definitely does change the shadows for me. Do you mind attaching a sample problematic file where it does nothing? Maybe I'm missing something. Also what's your Mac specs? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software

Also what's your Mac specs? I am not crazy, promise! Yesterday I tried it again with .NEF-files and.jpgs, and it didn't work. Now it does! But the effects are very(!!) minimal!
