Fantástico tutorial. Voy a usarlo mucho en mis revelados. Suelo hacer fotografías de aves y muchas veces el fondo de la escena queda mejor si se hace el bokeh. Muchas gracias.

I'm not sure how to ask this question properly, but one thing I wanted in pixelmator pro was the ability to use a green screen function with layers. I know there's a term for it, but I don't know what it is. Basically, I'll add a green mask over something in pixelmator pro and then bring it to final cut pro and use the green screen effect to add a layer over the green (or whatever color I choose to change). Is this something that's in photomator?

Damn, I'm glad I found this video. Very rarely someone making Affinity *ADVANCED* tutorials that very easy to understand not just to experts but also to beginners, because these are still new for someone who using adobe for years like me. But as you can see, many of us are looking for alternatives and I'm using Affinity now, its similar like Adobe, but need a little adjustment with the features that are not as easy and details as new Adobe, for example I noticed we still need to manually using selection brush tool while in new version of Adobe we only need 1 click button and the software will automatically select the object that we want. In the other hand I feel nostalgic using Affinity like the good ol' days in Adobe, but still, despite many "worst things" that's happening in Adobe right now, they brought many good features that Affinity should follow. Once again, thanks for making this video. And I'll subscribe your channel for Affinity contents, nothing wrong to learn from beginning again, because I adore this software right now😁. And I believe Affinity will be huge in the future and many agencies and corps will be using it, so when that time is come I already be prepared😁

HI When are you going to send me a message, I am the DxO Product Liaison that would love to have a chat with you.

Thanks. You are doing a great job here.

I tried Topaz a while ago, but it commits the worst sin... it makes eyes look unnatural. Eyes are very important for photos of your kids, making these tools (currently) not useful for the really important photos.

What would you recommend for the ipad Photo Mator or Luminar

Un gran trabajo de tutorial. Voy a usar mucho tus consejos en mis revelados

It is said that photomator's raw engine (apple's) applies noise reduction you cannot turn off. Some have run tests and get notably softer images with Photomator, which they attribute to this noise reduction. Have you seen anything similar? Thanks

Photopea clearly has the edge over Luminar Neo. In some cases, Photopea is even better than Photoshop. Compared to Photoshop, however, Photopea often produces completely wrong results, with objects, people or animals suddenly appearing, even when regenerated several times.

Are they both local or cloud processing?

Thank you.

Luminar Neo has always produced ridiculous results when these type of editing request are proposed to the software and that is another reason I have not moved past Luminar 4

I love the clarity of your videos. That is how it's done. Thank you for the education.

I like the retouch tool, but I wish DXO would let it remember different settings for clone and repair. I often flip back and forth between them, and the tool retains the same setting for both modes. Thank you for the clear explanation.

Excellent review, very concise and well explained.

As usual, super nice tips and great explanations. Very good for the fans of DxO!

Thanks great tips.

Nice😅

Thanks fore the demo. If you have used the generarive AI, which you mentioned, you come to see that DxO is far, far behind in retouching tools.. The Retouch Tool is really old technology similar to what Lightroom was offering 10 years ago. I never use Photolab retouch tools as I have access to Lightroom and Photoshop. Given the advances Adobe has made in the last year I do not know if I will bother upgrading to Photolab 8. Maybe just get the Pure Raw plugin for its superior RAW processing.

On1 👍🏼

I am using Photomator on an iPad because I like a simple solution for travelling light. I wouldn’t understand why you would use it on a Mac despite its nice user interface. Capture One is so far more advanced in all the categories you tested that I wouldn’t see a reason. The same would probably be true for LR, but I stopped using Adobe products and don’t have experience with the current products. I understand the price and value discussion. But that always irritates me. How much are we paying for our cameras?

It’s embarrassing that nowadays AI is so powerful but there isn’t much there

I took 10000 photos with Lr cam and Lr Mobile edit. Never had underexposed photos and problems with „graying issue highlights” when they are bring down until I bought 15 Pro Max with ProRAW. Does Halide also have that issue? I started to give up for photography. ProRAW sucks. I tried taking -0,03 but it doesn’t even help, tried bring up whites a little and exposure - picture became overexposed. I’m so sad. I don’t want to use Lr cam because it doesn’t support optical zoom. Even ProRAW profile doesn’t help.

Thanks mate, a quick, simple , and very helpful video ---- my attention span wont go much further 😇 I'm slowly getting my old head around it

Thanks for making this video - I plan to stop using Adobe apps but am stuck with Premiere Pro till May next year. Wonder what the comparisons are in respect to drawing and making layered psd files

I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos on photo editing, especially using Photomator/Pixelmator Pro and Affinity. Recently my photography genre has changed to more macro specifically Mushrooms, Flowers and bugs. I am hoping if you could be kind enough and do a video using Photomator and or Pixelmator on “Soft and Dreamy Macro editing” such as this one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8B4mdiWl8iVeKs.html I would be indebted to you Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Great Help

I was wondering whether I should give my iPad a try just to avoid travelling with my MacBook Pro and the iPad (M1 pro 13 inch). I tried all the tools you are talking about here. I like the ease of working with Photomator. But compared to the combination of Capture One and Affinity on my MacBook Pro it all sucks. I think I will go on using Photomator for my iPhone RAWs just out of convenience but I don’t think the iPad can compete in general at the moment. And I am not even mentioning the problems with the Files app or just having one port

Capture One for colours mainly. Especially the icc profiles.

thank you

Another useful tutorial! I'm familiar with dehaze in Lightroom and just like you I thought Affinity didn't have this feature until I tried to mess around with the menus trying to figure things out And this is the first thing I do, came to your channel because I knew I was gonna get something useful Thanks for this!

The price of Remini is simply far too high for private use. Radiant Photo certainly can't keep up with portraits, but delivers much better results when taking pictures of landscapes or food. After I didn't buy Radiant after the trial period, I ended up being offered to buy it for €117, which I accepted.

Thanks for explaining luminosity masks on affinity

Which is best - a lot depends on your needs and thus the criteria. Where Photopea has a major advantage is if you have a major investment in Actions or Scripts as Photopea can run any that would have run on CS6 or most versions before the introduction of AI - that is NOT the case for Affinity; Secondly, Photopea running in a browser can be used on much cheaper Chromebooks, again that is NOT the case for Affinity; Finally, from a commercial perspective, BOTH, have a limited talent pool. Whether the new owners will prove to be an advantage is a big question - if anyone remembers Paint Shop Pro being bought by Corel they'll understand how a market leader under JASC Software can fall quickly.

The layer system in Affinity photo is so much similar to substance painter which is a layer based 3D texturing tool (owned by Adobe but offers a perpetual license on Steam)... I really like these non destructive masking feature... I just wish if affinity photo had some sort of algorithm based sky selection feature...

I'd add 3 more what I consider standout features: 1. Being browser based, run it up on a Chromebook you can make it into an web app (web based of course) on your desktop with it's own icon - helps take advantage of cheaper hardware that apart from being personally helpful can be really helpful in an educational environment. So rather than launch Chrome you simply click on your desktop menu and open the web app for that site. 2. As its' origins were essentially CS6 you can run many of the Actions that would work on CS6 - obviously the more complex and modern AI stuff is more challenging. 3. Loading Actions, Gradients etc is simply drag & drop.

How does this compare to the iPad version (feature parity)..? Moreover are these Ai Masking features available for the iPad version..?

Adima is the best upscaler. It is upscale the image upto 64 k . Which is world record in upacaling software

Too be fair, if I could produce anything near to that quality with any of the apps, I’d be happy with any of these results.

Affiniti photos dont have games, photopea won!! xD

Thank you for all your support e helpful tutorials.

None of both! You can‘t beat Photoshop if you work as a professional.

nice video and good explanation especially of density and feather but I find using the brush that works on branches and hair does a better job. If you use density you are reducing the strength of the modifications of tone and color.

The dog has a white halo around it that is objectionable. Also an elliptical focus background might have been more acceptable. Do you have the original picture for experimentation?

thank you for the tutorial, as an Affinity Photo user I feel that it is a better editor and as AF is progressing with new ownership I hope that they will soon be offering an AI addition to their software.

Thank you for this tutorial!!!!

OK, $5/month to get AI selections, yet for $9.99/month I get LR and PS in the Photography plan. LR has some of the best AI tools available in a RAW editor. So if you are willing to pay for a subscription, which you must to get the better tool in Photopea, why not get the real deal for $9.99 USD a month? That is unless. you hate Adobe, then you have to go elsewhere and pay more. I own the entire Affinty suite, Photo 2, Publisher 2 and Designer 2 which at the current 50% sale can be had for a litte over $80 USD - a great deal. Thiis gets you ALL platforms and mobile.
