I LOOOOVE having a vector scope in my image editor. It's perfect for skin tones

¡Extremadamente util!, muchas gracias

I congratulate you for the new tutorials where the image of the person who is explaining does not appear, since this image distracts and covers part of the program's interface. Congratulations!

This is quite perfect! Great job, James.

FINALLY VECTORSCOPE IN IMAGE EDIT SOFTWARE!!

[@AffinityPhotoOfficial]

We've had it since 2015 😉

[@meijboomm]

@@AffinityPhotoOfficial no way! Haha I have your whole suite since 2017 and never knew this, thank you for the tutorials

Thanks for adding the link elsewhere to the video for my 2024 refresher course --- forgot most of it already lol
Personal ; although I understand the scope more now , I feel it's adding more complexity into editing that most don't need or want .
I would much prefer a LR5 (yeah; old stuff) like histogram that shows clippings on the image making it easier to see where adjustment maybe needed. . I think that is available in Develop but I use Lr for all first/raw edits and often all editing . I often take AP edits back to Lr just for checking clippings so I will give the scope tool another try now .
HSL: I have often wonder why Affinity didn't add an "orange" slider ; likely the my most often used lr slider --- that answer is not important :)

Affinity se algum dia criar um DAM, não se esqueça de colocar os scopes.

Pretty much all the tools for Affinity video, only timeline is missing? ;)

[@kennlw5]

Is the scope feature on the iPad version?

[@willgavillan]

Has this tool been updated to account for HDR workflow with higher brightness values?

[@RichB-78]

How can I resize the scopes to make them bigger? Grabbing the corners just creates empty space either side. Also, can we have a 2up or 4up display for the scopes? I use Davinci Resolve and this is very useful. Thanks.

In the intensity waveform scope: What is mapped from left to right? I don't really get how the tones of the image are mapped spatially

[@joshnelson3344]

Is this also available in the iPad version?

This is what I don't like about Affinity Photo. A lot of mathematical mombo jumbo with no practical use in real life (who in real life would actually consider adding gaussian blur to an image to be able to make the file size smaller when you compress the image to a jpg???). The quality of RAW convergence in Affinity is only on par with the free alternatives on the market, and still miles behind Photoshop.Use the time, money and effort to raise that level, that would be a real contribution.
