Too high PoV for me Robert and I would create an
adjustment layer to recover the low lights on the
duck alone — but not the bill!!

Cheers
I wouldn't know where to start
Can I do that with affinity?

 

[Kodiak Qc]

Can I do that with affinity?

In my workflow, I would do that on the RAW in C1
but I'm sure Affinity would do maybe good on jpg…

Thanks

Such is life a bigger sensor would mean a bigger camera and lens, too much for this old man,dont care how small the sensor gets so long as i can keep taking pictures.

Perfectly right in this, buddy…
but I was not referring to the size
rather to the smudges on it!

You made me look closer, it could be when i updated Photoshop this morning it changed the opacity of the content aware brush and i hadnt noticed on my monitor ,i got photobombed on this one, do you mean the remains of the seagull.
