Serif affinity photo for mac guide6/23/2023 If you sharpen a file and the resize, you never get the optimal sharpening. Sharpening should be the absolut last step in your workflow, and must be done specifically for the target (export) resolution. If you want to inspect sharpness of 45 MP files, you will need a display showing this resolution at 100%. Of course you will see differences, but it is a misleading preview, never the actual level of sharpness.Īffinity Apps amplify this problem by rendering the sharpening in canvas resolution (and exporting the actual sharpness which looks different) - this is the main reason for the advise to use 100% during applying sharpening When zoomed out you see a downsampled version, which always removes fine details (highest frequencies). You physically cant see and judge the actual sharpness of images if zoomed out. but yeh I find the sharpening a bit of an iterative process Id rather speed up with even a workaround method.Īny help with this or thoughts would be really appreciated.Ī complex topic with lots of „personal preferences“. Is this the same for sharpening in photoshop or Lightroom? Or should I maybe process the raw files first in Canon Digital Photo Professional? Id rather not do that as Affinity does it all in one place. What is your sharpening process? Am I doing something really stupid or do you all just follow a similar iterative approach to you are happy. I guess im looking for some advice from other Landscape photographers on here using Affinity. I have also heard it may only be a problem with Canon RAW files? And other files from Nikon or Sony don't behave this way. This is silly however and really not how id like to sharpen images. I often feel I have to over sharpen to then end up with the actual sharpness I want when I hit develop or apply. The problem is that when you sharpen in either the Develop or photo persona, when you hit develop or apply then you seem to loose a good proportion of the sharpness. Especially when working with a 45MP full frame output from a Canon R5 100% is a tiny proportion of the shot on screen. the problem is when im looking at a landscape picture I really want to see the effect of the sharpening on the whole picture and not just a postage stamp detail section. As others have said in previous sharpening posts its designed to be used at 100%. bar one thing! The sharpening function! Whether it be in Develop of Photo persona I find that the sharpening tool is difficult to use. I've used Affinity for a few years now and love everything about it.
