Affinity Photo Chromebook



**Update January 3rd 2018 – New film sims based on the X100F including Acros are now available! Read below for more details. You can find the old sims (XTransII v3) at the bottom of the page.**
**Update February 16th 2018
– Mono+R was accidentally a copy of Acros+R – this is fixed in the latest download links.**

  • Affinity Photo – there are two ways to apply a simulation. Both use the LUT Adjustment Layer: Select “Infer Lut”, pick the identity PNG file and in the second dialog the desired simulation. You can then save the adjustment as a profile for quick access in the future.
  • Learn how to do a really cool chrome Text Effect in Affinity Photo. Works with every Font and you can even save the Style you created:) Font used: https://w.
  • With support for limitless layers, Affinity Photo provides a full library of adjustments, effects and live filters, all of which can be grouped, clipped, masked or blended together to create incredibly complex image compositions. + Unlimited layers. + Layer effects. + Live blend modes. + Mask & clipping layers.

The full-colour Affinity Photo Workbook is the only official companion to the award-winning photo editing software. Produced by the team that developed the app, it features sixteen photo editing projects created by leading professionals to help hone your skills and increase your overall familiarity with the app.

Modern Fujifilm cameras are popular for their built-in film simulations, however only a handful of editors are capable of replicating them.

I have created a set of LUTs (look up tables) based on the film simulations from Fujifilm’s own “RAW FILE CONVERTER” software which produce very close results to the in-camera processing.

The latest version was created using an X100F and includes all simulations present on the camera including: Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, Pro Neg Hi, Pro Neg Std, Acros, Acros + Ye, Acros + R, Acros + G, Mono, Mono + Ye, Mono + R, Mono + G and Sepia. Note that the Acros sims have ISO dependent grain applied by the camera which will be absent here.

Usage

The simulations are designed to be applied to a neutral RAW file, this means no auto-levels or custom tone curves / contrast should be applied, although you can still use the exposure slider to correct initial brightness. Any processing to the image should ideally happen AFTER you’ve applied the simulation or you may get unintended results.

RawTherapee – install the HaldCLUT package, go to the install location and add the profiles to a sub-folder, then restart RT.

Remember to disable auto-levels and reset your exposure sliders before applying!

Affinity Photo – there are two ways to apply a simulation. Both use the LUT Adjustment Layer:

  1. Select “Infer Lut”, pick the identity PNG file and in the second dialog the desired simulation. You can then save the adjustment as a profile for quick access in the future. As it’s a layer you can also blend/mask as desired.
  2. Select “Load LUT” and pick the desired 3DL simulation file. Note that this will only give accurate results in the sRGB colour space.

Affinity LUT adjustments are affected by your working colour space. The standard profiles are sRGB and will give undesired results if used in a different colour space. You can download ProPhoto LUTs here, or if you work in a different space you can create your own by opening the identity image and each profile in Affinity then exporting as a PNG with the correct ICC profile selected in Export Settings.

Remember to disable the tone-curve in RAW assistant!

Luminar(presets) – open Luminar and select “Show Presets Folder” from the File menu. From here you can either:

  • Unzip the presets directly into this folder; they will appear under the “Custom” preset category.
  • Go up a level from the User directory then unzip the preset folder into the Extra directory, they will then appear in their own category.

Luminar (3DL) – add the LUT filter and select your 3DL.

Luminar applies a tone-curve to the image by default that can’t be disabled at time of writing. This leads to the image having too much contrast when the LUT is applied. Thankfully the LUT filter has its own contrast/saturation sliders; I’ve found setting contrast to -45 and saturation to 20 compensates for this and gives very similar results to other applications.

Note for XTrans III camera users; Luminar has a slight colour shift on RAW files compared to other converters. You can negate this by applying a HSL hue shift of +20 to reds and blues. Make sure this filter is applied before the LUT filter (i.e. higher up in the filter list).

Examples

Examples of every film simulation can be found in the gallery. Here is a selection:

Images on the left have the LUT applied to the neutral RAW file opened in RawTherapee with no other changes (apart from exposure), images on the right are JPGs produced directly from the camera.
