To adjust Details, you will probably want to zoom in to bring the image to 100% ( Cmd-1) and move around the image to satisfy yourself that you are not oversharpening it, but are capturing details optimally. Once you are happy, move on to the Details panel, and any further panels which you wish to use. Using the Basic panel, adjust the controls to tweak your image to look the way that you want it to. Affinity Photo: adjust Details settings for the image. At the top left of the image is a blue button labelled Develop – that is the button which you click once you are happy with your development of the image. By default the image should be scaled to fit the size of the window (shortcut Cmd-0), giving you a good overall view of the effects of changes made to the image. This opens your RAW image in Develop mode (Persona), with the range of tools available under five different tab headings, in the righthand panel, from Basic to Overlays. Affinity Photo: adjust Basic settings for the RAW image. Start Affinity Photo, close the introductory splash screen, and use the File/Open… command to open your RAW file. To give you an idea how good Serif’s Affinity Photo is, I offer the following outline workflow as a basis for you to develop your own, and to show how efficient and powerful it can be.
