First of all, you absolutely brought that image to life. Secondly, using the Curves adjustment to fix overexposure is waaay better than the Exposure tool because of the added control you have of finer adjustments. Lastly, the Secret Sauce knocked it out the park when you introduced the BOpponet. Great video and keep those coming. If you've done a video using the LAB option can you drop a link please and the same with using Colour Channels. Thanks a bunch and keep the Secret Sauce coming....
Thank you so much. Yes, Curves can be very powerful for that purpose ❤ I have a video about LAB colors her: ruclips.net/video/IgT-Vz4YXs4/видео.html and a online course for cinematic color grading here: ruclips.net/video/2P0hw4bJAK4/видео.html
Fantastic secret sauce! Affinity has so many features and most are hidden and not understood unless you spend a LOT of time fiddling with them. Thanks for another great video.
You, Olivio have saved an image that has strong potential by teaching me hidden Affinity Designer tools . I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH for your generous knowledge and tutorials.. What led me to find you (already a fan) is that I believe I may have an award winning image (content) but thought it ruined due to overexposure! (No auto ISO on classic 5D.) OMG...so much to learn - you've uncovered many hidden powerful tools making AP better than I had imagined... so many ways to bring images new life. Am now feeling hopeful. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Wow, this is an outstanding view behind the stage of Affinity. Very well done - again. You open up the view to all hidden/un-obvious possibilities and combine all to an awesome result. That's the real magic - thanks for sharing and stay creative.
Yes he did bring the picture to life however there is not a person in that photo, I have a photo of a person were the sun just creeped up on me and she is totally over expose the problem is that if I try to correct it corrects the entire photo not just the person Im pulling my hairs with this.
everytime i think i know how to edit, i come see your videos and learn something new. i never really use the histogram in curves to inform my editing 🤣🤣🤣 thank you!!!
Summer is coming 😂 du bist gut! Wir erwarten Schnee in Basel . Wünsche dir einen wunderschönen Abend und einen dicken Kuss an die Cats Liebe Grüsse Claudia 🐱🌞
Great to see "basic" photo editing videos --- maybe ''advanced basic photo" editing . One Affinity tool I often use now is Selective colour . Just a pity it does not have a colour picker as in Curves , however it is still a powerful landscape editing tool for my photos. I also find it's better to have a couple of selective colour adjustment layers for warm and cool colours that makes it easier to selectively reduce effects with masking . Even the Black, Neutral, White sliders can have a big impact on the image . I always find a bit of a disadvantage not having Orange (like Lightroom) --- there seems a large gap between red and yellow . Off Affinity topic: A little known Lr trick is found with the Red, Green, and blue saturation slides in the Camera Calibrations panel . Blue is likely most interesting and I have it in most "start" presets -- about 20%
Yes, totally agree. That why I often use Photolab, Nik Collection and Lightroom for these purposes. They have Luminace and Chrominace masking. That orange slider and color picker are super important, because orange is also the base color of skin tones (not pink as it might seem. So that's a very good way to adjust them too
Hi, I need to add my workflow a Procedural texture with 2 functions: max(R,G,B)=mid(R,G,B) and then: min(R,G,B)=mid(R,G,B) Mean: Neead to slide the max from RGB until=middle color and same, slide min from RGB until=middle color. On Histogram max level musty be down until=middle level and min Level must be increase until =middle level
Great video Olivio, and that's some awesome secret sauce you poured onto that thing. One question: are you saying here I shouldn't play with the sliders alone as a matter of course? Normally with a RAW photo I adjust exposure and brightness first and up the shadows. Should I abandon that procedure and go with this first?
Thank you. No, if you have a RAW do some basic adjustments first in the developer persona. I can also highly suggest that you get a better raw developer software like Photolab for that purpose, because the AP raw development is very bare bones.
@@OlivioSarikas " ....... AP raw development is very bare bones" Sadly so true . Naturally I use Lr5 or go straight to the Photo persona with the advantage of layers.
I use a term "bend the sliders" . In other words drag the sliders hard left and right to see what happens and then back off to suit . Do you know you can click in the % box and use the up/down arrow keys to get a finer adjustment ?
On1 denoise is added as a plugin but I cant find a way to use it on my raw photos. It only shows plugins after completing develop raw. Do I have to use it standalone? I can use it in ON1 before developing.
I get confused. Should I use to lightroom/captureone for RAW or do it in Affinity? I see no reason to use Affinity when I make picture in capture...Im using this wrong or cannot find a reason?

You are welcome, my friend ❤
The child layer/new layer thing. Finally. I couldn't figure out why my layers were all child layers while I was trying to follow tutorials. Thank you!
The secret lighting sauce was tasty. very nice. Thanks.

Thank you very much. Really happy you enjoy it that much :)
Wow! So fantastic! Thank you so much!
my pleasure ❤
Excellent tutorial, especially the LIGHT segment. Thank You
Thank you so much :)
That was easily the best video I've seen on fixing an overexposed image in Affinity Photo. Was it a RAW file?
nope, just a jpg from unsplash :) with raw you can do even crazier things. ahve a look here: ruclips.net/video/jB7rx_2Jf70/видео.html
Brilliant stuff Olivio, love the secret sauce and the lighting tweak.
Thank you very much :)
Great tutorial. I have a few washed out landscape photos, can't wait to try this out. Thank you.
Awesome. Thank you very much :)
agreed, I think my photos are washed out too -- by default!
Thank you very much for really good informasjon 👌

Why don't edit/correct on RAW file directly? This question bothering me. Would be appreciated for your advice:)
Hi,
I need to add my workflow a Procedural texture with 2 functions:
max(R,G,B)=mid(R,G,B)
and then:
min(R,G,B)=mid(R,G,B)
Mean:
Neead to slide the max from RGB until=middle color and same, slide min from RGB until=middle color.
On Histogram max level musty be down until=middle level
and min Level must be increase until =middle level
Sounds interesting. I have no Ideas how to work with these formulas

I don't know what On1 is, but it sounds like that would be the case, yes.
Dont you do anything in the develop persona?
I get confused. Should I use to lightroom/captureone for RAW or do it in Affinity? I see no reason to use Affinity when I make picture in capture...Im using this wrong or cannot find a reason?
If it is raw, use a good raw software. This tutorial was done with a JPG :)
I know I'm late for this tutorial but can you share the image you used so I can follow along?
unless the image is linked below the video, i don't have the link anymore. just use any other photo with similar bad conditions
Sir Affinity Photo Not Allowed Batch Process For Develope Preset Any Option Sir ?
I would suggest to batch edit with Photolab or Lightroom in that case
@@OlivioSarikas Yes Sir
Fantastic. But a bit too complicated for me.
Yes please get back to you roots as I am not into this AL stuff more Affinity videos
LOL
Amazing, I have so much to learn. Thank you.
This is a great tutorial! Thank you!
my pleasure ❤
Terrific, thanks once again!
you are welcome, my friend :)
