I have encountered a small nit with 20.1. The new brush cursor is a much needed improvement.  Prior to 20.1, while masking, the brush cursor would become an arrow if you made it too small (left ...

I am using Catalina (10.15.4) on a 2019 iMac.  I have 16 Gig of RAM and a 2T SSD. I loaded Catalina just after the first of the year and have only experienced 1 problem.  I use Hugin to stitch ...

Bill, Thank you for your insightful suggestions.

C1 Color mask worked.  At the end, I had some halos around the twigs, but C1 refine mask set to a high radius "knocked the halos down". WRT, the focus.  I went back and looked at the originals, my ...

Thank you for the suggested fix.  I use C1 not Lightroom, but that fix should work there too. WRT the focus, I probably goofed.

Finally got Hugin to work with Catalina (there is a known problem with PTBatcherGui). One of the guys on the Hugin forum showed me how to get it around the bug. This is a six image hand held pano I ...

Here is a suggestion that I received from AK Seidel on the Hugin forum. I am happy to say that it worked perfectly: "The problem appears to come from security changes Apple made to OS X. Hugin is ...

Like IanYorke, I use Photomatix for HDR merges. While this is not an HDR merge, Thomas Fitzgerald has produced a video tutorial for a Panorama stitch from C1 to AP & back to C1. I am not impressed ...

I tend to have a similar problem.  The cursor does not "contrast" with an image.  "Shake the mouse" works, it just takes about 4 shakes to kick in.

Thanks for the suggestion regarding "boosting" the distant cliff face. Affinity Photo tends to be some what "ham fisted" with its "Haze" filter, so I tuned it down. WRT, this guy on the ledge,  my ...

I left CS6 about a year ago and totally went to Affinity Photo.  I kept CS6 on my computer until I down loaded Catalina.  I wanted to make sure that I was comfortable with AP before I pulled the ...

Still reworking some of my old pics.  In the "out-of-camera" image the canyon wall in the distance was lost in the haze. Now I understand why people get hurt at the Grand Canyon.

Thank you. What did you do to achieve that affect?

Roger, Thank you. Thanks to all of you I got some great ideas for making my picture work.

In C1 my raw file is much bigger (25MB) and when I send ti Affinity Photo it becomes an Affinity Openable PSD, which is 90.3 MB.

The original image file size is in C1 25 is 25MB and when I export it from C1 it becomes 86 MB (Adobe RGB 16-bit Tiff). When I tried to load it earlier, the insert wheel just went round and round. ...

Good catch, thank you. Looks much better.

Thank you for the "exposure" suggestion. Here are the "Levels" and "Curves" histograms for the version that I originally posted: The histogram looks fairly good to me. And, here is what the Curves ...

Thank you.  Number 2 looks closest to my memory, but it looks a trifle over cooked.
