There’s a Home version and a Professional version and it looks like the only differences between the two are a batch processing engine and €55. Someone suggested I look at SNS-HDR instead of Affinity Photo. Read that first (Reply #11) and then come back to this one. I should write a post called “the mistakes I’ve made. It is too easy to go overboard and destroy the sky tones – another mistake I’ve done a lot of.
Actually, I almost never use a polarizing filter anymore. OK, I’ll fess up – I’ve done the polarizer on pano mistake too! That one is not so easy to correct in post.
It could check that the files only have a single pixel layer, but apparently AP does not. Pano-merge just wouldn’t know what to do unless the layering/channels are identical across the multiple files, and even then it would be a nightmare for the warping-transformations. afphoto files can have masked layers and extra channels – like PSDs. I think the pano-merge wants to see flattened pixel files. I would think that internal calculations are done in a floating-point format, but I don’t have access to that information. The AP videos don’t actually say “floating-point” – they use the term “unbounded”, as in there is no white clipping. My guess is that it is floating-point, but I can’t say for certain. afphoto files store image data in a 32-bit format. As you saw in my post, my back-of-the-envelope file size calculations indicate. It is kind of odd to see image data as a signed integer, but even is the sign bit is never used, 31 bits is essentially infinite dynamic range even for HDR. Go figure! The possibilities are unsigned integers (which is always the case for fixed-point image data), signed integer, and IEEE float-point. The SampleFormat tag indicates that it is 32-bit 2-complement signed integer.

I totally missed the 32-bit format! As I have written code for reading TIFF Tags, I created a 32-bit TIFF in AF and read its tags. You can export them as a 32-bit Tiff file from AP How well it works depends on the image, but w/o it you’re going to have to crop anyway. You run into the same issue with panoramas. That’s handy, but what I found more handy was that the example they use in making the macro is for inpainting blank edges (APs version of PS’ content aware fill) after rotating an image.
#AFFINITY PHOTO CONTENT AWARE FILL HOW TO#
On the Affinity Revolution YouTube page, there’s a video on how to make macros in AP. I’ve learned a lot from the course, and there’s a Q&A with other students, teaching assistants, etc. I’m also enrolled in a Udemy course on learning the Affinity suite. Two are on YouTube: Affinity Revolution and Scott Williams Photography (Scott also does Capture One tutorials). Ken: I’ve learned from the videos provided by Affinity themselves, but I’ve also learned a lot from three other sources, as John mentioned.

And yes, any time you’re doing panoramas, set your metering mode to manual (and remove your polarizing filter 🙂 ). tif file from Affinity, but 16 bits are good. NB: Capture One 20.0.4 will not open a 32-bit. aphoto files for panoramas, but as you mentioned, they’re invisible. To get there you go to File/Export, TIF, then select More. Whether it’s fixed-point or floating-point I have no idea. John: After you’ve combined your 3, 5 or however many images in AP into an HDR merge, you can export them as a 32-bit Tiff file from AP. C1 doesn’t do everything – and Affinity Photo fills in those gaps.

One reason for interest in Affinity Photo is from people like myself who have dumped their Adobe CC license in favor of Capture One, or another of the quite reasonable raw converter apps. Hopefully, the issues I’ve uncovered with the HDR-pano merge are the exception, not the rule. Nonetheless, AP does most of what PhotoShop does reasonably well. Still, I think anybody who does not have a reasonable Ps background would be rather bewildered by AP. Mike Pedde has posted about some of these. To answer your question, there are the Affinity videos, and there are 3rd party training videos that are picking up the slack.
#AFFINITY PHOTO CONTENT AWARE FILL SOFTWARE#
Who buys a hardcover book in 2020? – especially for a software package that we can expect will evolve over time. There is no manual! You have to buy a $50 hardcover book. Does it meet the high-performance standard of Ps? – no. And it is cheap! Usually $50 – it is currently on sale for $25. AP has achieved App of the Year awards on the Apple store. Now for completion, I would love to see a step by step video on Affinity for us Luddites.Īffinity Photo (AP) is very much like PhotoShop (Ps) – so much so, one wonders if infringement lawsuits have been filed.
