Nice tutorial. In Affinity Photo, there is often more than one approach to accomplish the same general goal (conversion to monochrome in this case), and I'm always interested in the subtle differences between these various approaches.
And if nothing else works you can even write algorithm to get what you need. Not the most versatile thing in the world (for you can't write algorithm for composition, only for adjustment filter) but it's more practical for real work.
As usual, a clear and concise tutorial by James. Thank you. James. Affinity team, how's the vibe working with the Canva team? My wishlist for Affinity Photo for the future: 1. Auto-blend layers by stacking two layers similar to that in Photoshop. 2. More tutorials on compositing to better utilise the powerful features in Affinity Photo. Thank you Affinity team for this wonderful software. 🙏🏽
one job ; so many different ways ; so damn confusing 😊 But a great video James ; well explained BTW Affinity really needs an Orange colour slider in between red and yellow --- orange is the slide I use the most on my old faithful Lr5
The vast improvements in v3 are WELL worth the minuscule, one-time cost. I bought all 3 v1 apps, and HAPPILY paid for v2. They NEVER said free lifetime upgrades. What they said was free updates to the next major version, i.e., v2. This is infinitely better than Adobe's RENTAL model, where the software literally stops working when you stop paying. Support Affinity! It's the only viable alternative (from this professional's perspective) to Adobe RENTAL.
Thank you James. That is very interesting. I'm a newby to Affinity Photo and I do mostly Astrophotography and Solar Photography and Solar video. Can Affinity Photo help in making animations from many, 500 or more, images of the Sun that were created from stacked video frames? I know Photoshop can do it because I've watched the TH-cam tutorials. But, I'd really like to know if Affinity Photo can do the same? I am a licensed owner of Affinity Photo and I'm just getting started with it. Also, all of my Solar stuff is done on a monochrome camera and I need to learn how to colorize them so they look like what we think the Sun looks like. Anyway, thank you, once again, for this video.

Affinity Photo has none of the animation tools that exists on earth. I Suggest to use DaVinci Resolve (there's a free version that can do everything you want and much more). There you can point to your images folder and create a vid by a mouseclick. For me, I think it's ok that Affintiy does not overload a Photo Editor with stuff like animation. Keeps it straight
Richard, your astrophotography sounds like cool stuff! I don't think Affinity Photo has an options for animation. I know Photoshop allowed you export animated GIFs a long time ago, is that what you're looking for? Regardless, look into DaVince Resolve video software. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to accomplish any type of animations needed, and ... it's free. (Probably the best free software, ever.) There is a paid version that includes a few really advanced features, but you probably won't need that. FWIW, the paid version is relatively cheap, and is one time. All the best.

Good stuff, as always. More please!

Thank you for this video, and please don't ever go subscription
Hola, genial!. Muchas gracias!.
Wow!

Nice & Thanks :)
Great tricks. Thanks !
So that weighted intensity calculation, is that how they used to balance grey-tones on TV before there was color-TV?
That allowed us to enjoy watching snooker on TV 😂
Please we need som deep black&white workflow in different styles!!
Thx, well explained
I'll be sticking to Nik SilverEfex I think :-)
Is there a colourize option, going from black and white to colour?
does this work on both versions? i am still using version 1, refuse to pay for the free upgrades was told when i bought it lol

Richard, look for azastroguy - he uses affinity for his processing.
@Richard - look up azastroguy, he uses affinity photo.
