This frankly beats the snot out of Lightroom. At least on an individual photo basis. Now creating batches to apply the same correction across a range of photos would make the Develop Persona beyond amazing.
Thank you for this tutorial. I was struggling with editing FUJI RAW on Mac: I finally found out that (for all FUJI shooters like me) you have to go under "DEVELOP ASSISTANT" and select "APPLE RAW ENGINE" and select 16 bit RAW output. This will result in a correct RAW preview in Affinity Photo. I dont know why this this does not happen with Canon RAW files. Hope this will help many other FUJI users :)
Looks good. Is there going to be a new updated hard copy workbook released any time soon? Ill probably be moving it a rural neck of the woods in 2023 & the internet or might not be available or options desired there. Thanks for any replies.
💡Make it possible to turn on/off/rename and invert the mask layer in "Develop Persona". These are rudimentary functions, but they don't exist yet... If you do a smart refinement of the mask around the edges of the object, it will be luxurious. 😉👍
I congratulate you for the new tutorials where the image of the person who is explaining does not appear, since this image distracts and covers part of the program's interface. Congratulations!
Towards the beginning, the option as to whether to save a pixel layer or work nondestructively was available; I don't see it at the end. Why did it disappear?
Hey there! Cool Vid. Just was searching for one that explains mass-import. I am doing Photos of Fabrics in a Studio-Setting. There is a Photo with a grey-cube and the next one needs to be adjusted to the white-level. Mostly there are many more photos that need "one" adjustment in mass. Did I miss something or is this video missing? Thank you for all your efforts.
You never say whether the "Develop Persona" is destructive (permanent once you click the "Develop" button) or non-destructive (you can always go back and change settings). What, exactly, does clicking the "Develop" button do?
Hi Grant, there's a non-destructive RAW video that covers this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fkbFaww_maQ.html This original RAW video was recorded before non-destructive RAW made it into the beta builds. It will eventually be re-recorded at some point in the future, but the video above provides several workflow ideas for non-destructive RAW. Clicking the Develop button will convert the image to a 16-bit document with whichever colour profile you've chosen for the output (e.g. sRGB, ROMM RGB, Adobe RGB). Using non-destructive RAW will ensure the layer is a specific "RAW layer" that can be re-developed at any time.
@@AffinityPhotoOfficial I will await for the new tutorial too !!!! :) Thank you so much! your way of explaining is great, receive my greetings for the season from Uruguay.
Despite the following rant I love Affinity Photo: A major disappointment: RAW file opening takes even longer than before when it was already intolerably slow. 90-120 seconds to open 15 Sony ARW files (24 mpx each) with Affinity Photo being the only active program. And the loading process nearly hangs the entire Windows 11 16 GB system (SSD drives). I'm a retired programmer, and I have to say that this isn't good enough. Please don't suggest more RAM, 16 GB should be sufficient for this. Multitasking was invented in the 1990's and it's intolerable that Affinity Photo hangs the system. It's just poor programming practice. Furthermore I still want to be able to hit Esc on my keyboard to close an image in the develop persona. That's what the Esc button on the keyboard is for. I also want to be able to close Affinity Photo with a one-time dialog "Close all windows?" instead of having to kill it from the task manager or close all image tabs.
Hi i see that there's no camera profile for white balance as in Adobe Photoshop / Lightroom. Does Affinity photo works with xrite products like dng profile manager. I use a Adobe as you know now. In Photoshop i use AdobeRGB because my monitor gives AdobeRGB 99% (My Monitor Benq SW2700PT) So i use Xrite i1 Studio device for monitor color calibration and to create printer profile. All for these helps in working almost perfect colour management workflow. So does new affinity ver. 2.2 has AdobeRGB for primary display colour and does it support camera profile created in xirite colorchecker pasport and can that be used in camera raw file edit. Can i use paper profile i create using i1 studio device for print to screen color match ? I don't if I am asking too much but i want to know before i try this.
How can I edit multiple RAW photos with Affinity photo? At the moment I can only open one at a time, so it is not possible for me to select and process shots for a customer. I would like to switch to Affinity to edit the photos, but at the moment I can only do this with Photoshop and Capture One. Thank you
i just got affinity photo few months back, is it worth the upgrade, to affinity photo2 ? there is no upgrade to existing users of affinity photo pretty sad.
