See the included PDF for installation instructions and a detailed explanation of how to use the Sharpening macros. The various kernel mask methods focus on enhancing edge detail and are very useful for soft imagery that may need more selective sharpening, such as wildlife photography.Įxperimentation is encouraged with these sharpening macros: there is no one solution for sharpening that fits all imagery! Multi-bandpass sharpening, for example, provides smooth detail enhancement without over-sharpening noise and whilst minimising halo artefacts. Provides much more flexibility compared to Affinity Photo's standard naive methods of sharpening (Unsharp Mask, Clarity, High Pass).

#AFFINITY PHOTO MACROS IPAD ZIP#
The download bundle does however include a ZIP called "Legacy V1 Macros" which contains V2 of the macros that can be installed with Photo V1 (1.10). Please note: V3 and future versions will only be compatible with Affinity Photo V2 and above, as they take advantage of functionality not present in V1. These macros however will let you tone map 360 imagery with no seam when the image is projected.Īdds several non-destructive implementations of sharpening methods, including multi-bandpass sharpening, local contrast enhancement, gaussian mask sharpening, bilateral sharpening and more. Seamless 360 tone mapping: these macros are a great solution for 360 imagery! Tone mapping via the Tone Mapping Persona will leave you with a visible seam because the process is not seam-aware.

Natural result: compared to Affinity Photo's Tone Mapping Persona, these macros will present a result that is more natural and closer to how the human eye would have perceived the scene.Run the macro and see your tone mapped result straight away. Instant application: no delay required before the tone mapping can be applied.Easily change the base exposure or add more adjustments to control the tone mapping effect. Completely non-destructive tone mapping, applied as a group that you can simply show or hide.The transforms are designed to map out-of-bound HDR values to standard dynamic range. If you try and use these macros on bounded pixel formats (16-bit and 8-bit) you may see odd results. with HDR merged documents from bracketed exposures, 32-bit 3D renders (OpenEXR, Radiance HDR) or single RAW exposures developed to 32-bit via the option in the Develop Assistant. Please note: these macros are designed for use in a 32-bit per channel pixel format, e.g. Version 4 completely revamps the approach of these macros, providing a huge range of implementations (currently twenty) and giving the user much more flexibility. See the included PDF for installation instructions and a detailed explanation of how to use the macros.įast, non-destructive macros that apply natural-looking tone mapping to your HDR images using procedural functions. RGB luminosity layers: boost channel detail e.g.Various sharpening methods: gaussian subtractive sharpening, gaussian kernel edge-mask sharpening, weighted intensity ('background') sharpening, non-linear sharpening to avoid 'panda eyes' around high contrast star detail.Easily reduce background luminosity and star luminosity with additional macros that utilise these live masks so you can adjust them non-destructively. Add live, non-destructive star and background masks.Colour range luminosity enhancement to bring out specific detail.Reduce excessive star detail to promote focus on other deep sky objects.A selection of masked tonal macros for finer control over contrast and brightness enhancement.Add diffuse glow and brilliance to highlight detail.Monochrome colour mapping for single grayscale data layers.RGB, LRGB, SHO, HOS, HOO, HaOIII, RGB-HSO, HORGB, HORGB-L. A variety of composition setups for different data set combinations, e.g.Multi-Bandpass Sharpening (an implementation of the popular Absolute Point of Focus sharpening method), which enhances perceptual detail and sharpness in a very pleasing way.Perform automated normalisation tone stretching, logarithmic tone stretching, colour preserving tone stretch (similar to Arcsinh) and mono data tone stretching.The download bundle does however include a ZIP called "Legacy V1 Macros" which contains V13 of the macros that can be installed with Photo V1 (1.10). Please note: V14 and future versions will only be compatible with Affinity Photo V2 and above, as they take advantage of functionality not present in V1. These macros work equally well for both OSC (one shot colour) and monochrome data setups. Workflow aids for astrophotography editing with over 100 macros including functions such as star size reduction, various tone stretching methods, multi-bandpass sharpening, diffuse glow, mono data colour mapping and more.
