Today, I finally decided to just ignore the annoyance of the Silver Efex Pro performance and go ahead and bite the bullet and start using Photo 2.0 from now on for my work. Because I like to occasionally turn my work to a BnW version, I decided to just use the original Affinity Photo in my workflow because I know will support the plug in if I chose to employ it.Ģ. This is not an issue with the original Affinity Photo version. So, there is no way to Apply my work in the Nik Silver Efex pop-up window so that it becomes a layer back in Photo 2.0. I love using the plugin Nik Silver Effex Pro 3, but with Photo 2.0, when I go to Filters/Plug-ins/NikCollection/SilverEffectsPro, the plug-in window opens up in Photo 2.0, BUT the dialog box at the bottom, that allows you to Apply (or Cancel) your work in the Silver Effex Pro pop-up window, does NOT exist when using the plug-in with Photo 2.0. I find, however, that I am not using Photo 2.0 after all (I just went back to using the original version of Affinity Photo) due to some issues.ġ. Probably opportunities for some co-marketing/promotion too since there's some overlap in your target customer.As an enthusiastic user of Affinity Photo (and occasional user of Affinity Designer), mostly on my desktop (MacBook Pro) but occasionally on my iPad as well, I was happy to support a 2.0 version and bought the suite and have them all installed. Affinity Photo could be that goto pixel editor for Capture One users and fixing the workflow for focus merging would be one step in that direction. Capture One has ? with generally poor integration. Lightroom has Photoshop and great integration between the two. I think there are great opportunities for collaboration between Affinity and Capture One. This includes generating the intermediate files in a high fidelity format, bringing those into Affinity Photo, preconfiguring those into a focus merge in Affinity Photo, letting you complete the focus merge then generating the resulting merged file in a high fidelity format that Capture One can read, then getting Capture One to import the result, then cleaning up the temporary source files.įor reference a focus merge competitor already does this with a Capture One plugin so it certainly seems possible. So, I'd like to see a plug-in developed that reduces the 14 steps to these 6. You are returned back to Capture One with the resulting file already imported into the same location as the source RAW files were (session or catalog) When done to your satisfaction, just indicate that you want the result back into Capture One Select the RAW images to focus merge in Capture OneĬhoose Image/Edit With/Focus Merge in Affinity Photo 2 (here's where the plug-in adds value) I would like Affinity to create a plug-in for this process that would change the above 14 steps into this: Pick a name that is based on the last file in the merge so it can be sorted by name and will group with the source files When done to your satisfaction, export that again to a 16-bit TIFF in ProPhotoRGB. Go find all the exported TIFFs you just created from Capture One and select them all Select an appropriate export format (I guess I have to choose 16-bit TIFF with ProPhotoRGB to preserve as much RAW info as possible) Select the RAW images (that may have some common edits such as white balance or highlight adjustments) to focus merge in Capture Oneįind a disk location for the temporary exported files that's not directly in my photo library Since Capture One has no internal capabilities to do focus stacking, I would like to use Affinity Photo 2 for that function, but the workflow to that in Affinity Photo 2 is quite cumbersome. I'm also a Capture One Pro user and an Affinity Photo 2 user.
