Develop Persona is a dedicated environment used for processing raw images captured using a digital camera.
If a supported raw file format is opened in Affinity Photo, it will automatically display in Develop Persona. You can then process the image using the dedicated adjustments, panels and tools.
Develop Persona gives you access to the following:
At any point while working with an image or any selected pixel layer, you can switch to Develop Persona to make use of its unique features.
There are a variety of split view options available in Develop Persona which give you the opportunity of seeing how your processed image compares to the original raw data.
While applying adjustments, you can update the 'Before' and 'After' view to give you a more focused representation of the applied changes.
An incorrect level of exposure within an image can lead to pixels 'falling out' of the viewable intensity range. This results in the loss of detail in areas of shadow, highlights, or midtones and is known as clipping.
In Develop Persona, you have the ability to display Clipped Shadows, Clipped Highlights and/or Clipped Tones directly on the image. This can help you identify areas which need correcting as well as preventing overenthusiastic modifications which result in clipping.
On the context toolbar, select Develop.
The photo or layer will adopt all the settings as displayed in the 'None' or 'After' view. The 'Before' view is for comparison purposes only.
