    Hello from Gatineau, Qc, Canada

    What are you saving your photos "as" if your are saving only RAW that will gray out the multi setting (pretty sure). When I want to try it I save my files as RAW+JPEG -- I think JPEG must be saved to use the cameras processor to use multiple exposure See if that's not it - All the best

    nikonbill's 2025 images when possible

    Here is the same file as post #99 (slightly different crop), but a very different result in the color's (much better IMHO). I'm trying to get my editing down to be more consistent, I'm finding in Affinity V3 I'm needing to "re-try" techniques and relearn (adjust slightly how I use the same...

    Using the fence challenge as inspiration I took a ride to the nearby Gettysburg battlefield - no shortage of interesting fences I did find getting an "interesting" photo a challenge (sic) here are some of my rejects - time will tell if I picked the "right" one :)

    Two things to report 1- OpenCL - Issue comes back after update V3.0.1.3808 after downloading and applying the update released yesterday (11/6). The mysterious random program crashes started for me as was the case in V2. Simply toggling off OpenCL in the performance area of settings solved this...

    I have become convinced the need to select a color (does not affect the stored color just makes it visible) when switching between two image brush's is likely to be "normal" behavior. I base this on observed behavior similar when using image (type) brush's in other area's of the program. I...

    First impressions of the Pup's Z50ii

    She is lucky to have your support, she should join the forum. I remember you posting her doing contest. I like to think we are pretty laid-back and supportive of each other She sounds like my niece, she has a natural eye for composition as well. She takes awesome photos with her D5600. Not...

    First impressions of the Pup's Z50ii

    Those batteries are small, carry spares for sure when they are up good they hold up nice. Keep the delay to sleep fairly short and tell her to get used to tapping the shutter button as she brings the camera up for a shot, this is what has worked for me on Z50. I have heard only great reports...

    Hi Blackstar - most welcome and thanks for your kind words - I like looking up in the sky myself and admire those like yourself able to capture the sky with a photo. I'm hopeful the program provides some help for you and you enjoy it. I'm really glad they did not do a crazy amount of "changes"...

    @hark -- There is a tutorial on the new forum site showing the trace tool in action, its pretty cool for artwork The new Affinity forum is now at discord on its own channel, It will be useful but a warning from an older person its very "modernly" social. I tend to just laugh at the nuttiness...

    I have just spend a long session working on personal calendar photos with V3 - I had some saved files with V2 to compare the same RAW files. For this "test" I just started over with the same RAW file then compared the final product. To my eyes the sharpening effects are slightly better using the...

    Here are screen shots for comparison (keep in mind I am still working on setup) of note there is not the "same" GUI lighter toggle the shot of V3 is system default - V2 I ran in this lighter mode. Another interesting note is both V3 and V2 were running at the same time to make the screen shots...
