Many photographers and moviemakers of my acquaintance have given up on subscription-based image editing software in favour of applications requiring one-off purchase fees, and one of the most popular is Affinity Photo. So whether you’re using Affinity on Mac, Windows PC or iPad, you’ll be able to do more, faster….” Once done, click the Develop button at top left.“Affinity 1.10 (which you can download now!) is our biggest performance update ever, and with the improvements being placed right at the heart of the software, it’s an update that all users will benefit from. A before/after split view can be helpful (click the circle icon at the top). Increase the Noise Reduction Luminance slider to remove noise. Go to the Details panel, check Detail Refinement and use the sliders to apply sharpening. Next check Black and White and Split Toning, then choose colors for the highlights and shadows as shown. Check ‘Curve’ and plot an S-shape curve line as shown to boost the contrast. Go to the Overlays panel and click on ‘Master’ then go to the Tones panel. Next add a new Overlay Paint adjustment, then paint over the sea and lighten the area. Then go to the Basic panel and lower the Exposure to darken. Use the Overlay Gradient tool, set Mode: Linear in the tool options, then drag down from the top of the frame to add a gradient to the sky. Use the Overlay Paint tool to paint over the gap in the cliffs, then go to the Basic panel and lift Exposure and Shadows to lighten the area, creating greater contrast with the cliffs in front. Go to the Overlays panel on the right and click the new Paint Overlay icon at the bottom. Go to the Basic panel and set Exposure 1, Blackpoint 3%, Brightness 24%, Contrast 30%. If the brush messes up, switch to the Overlay Erase tool to remove areas. Grab the Overlay Paint tool and check ‘Edge Aware’ in the tool options at the top, then paint over the cliffs. Increase the Clarity to enhance the textures. Lower the exposure to darken the image, revealing detail in the sky, then check Shadows/Highlights and lift the Shadows. Grab the Crop tool, set Mode: Original Ratio in the tool options, then drag to crop the photo. Here's how to enhance scenes with the Develop Persona. It makes it trickier to copy edits from one photo to another, although you can create presets for each of the Develop Persona’s panels. Unlike Photoshop there’s no Raw sidecar data. Once Raws are edited, you click ‘Develop’ to ‘bake in’ the adjustments. In Affinity Photo the Develop Persona is integrated into the main editor there’s no Raw plugin. The Raw edits are saved as XMP ‘sidecar’ files alongside the original files. In Photoshop, you make Raw adjustments in Camera Raw before opening the image into Photoshop. If you’re making the switch from Photoshop to Affinity Photo then the Raw workflow is slightly different. When we open a Raw file it switches to this, but if you want to edit photos a JPEG, or any pixel layer in your document, you’re also able to open the Develop Persona and use the Raw tools within. The Raw editor in Affinity Photo is called the Develop Persona.
