If you try and use these macros on bounded pixel formats (16-bit and 8-bit) you may see odd results. with HDR merged documents from bracketed exposures, 32-bit 3D renders (OpenEXR, Radiance HDR) or single RAW exposures developed to 32-bit via the option in the Develop Assistant. Please note: these macros are designed for use in a 32-bit per channel pixel format, e.g. Version 4 completely revamps the approach of these macros, providing a huge range of implementations (currently twenty) and giving the user much more flexibility. See the included PDF for installation instructions and a detailed explanation of how to use the macros.įast, non-destructive macros that apply natural-looking tone mapping to your HDR images using procedural functions. Weighted Luminosity setup, allowing you to manipulate colour separate to brightness (very useful for OSC/broadband data).Setup macros for greyscale solar imaging, moon imaging.RGB luminosity layers: boost channel detail e.g.Various sharpening methods: gaussian subtractive sharpening, gaussian kernel edge-mask sharpening, weighted intensity ('background') sharpening, non-linear sharpening to avoid 'panda eyes' around high contrast star detail.Easily reduce background luminosity and star luminosity with additional macros that utilise these live masks so you can adjust them non-destructively. Add live, non-destructive star and background masks.Colour range luminosity enhancement to bring out specific detail.Reduce excessive star detail to promote focus on other deep sky objects.A selection of masked tonal macros for finer control over contrast and brightness enhancement.Add diffuse glow and brilliance to highlight detail.Monochrome colour mapping for single grayscale data layers.RGB, LRGB, SHO, HOS, HOO, HaOIII, RGB-HSO, HORGB, HORGB-L. A variety of composition setups for different data set combinations, e.g.Multi-Bandpass Sharpening (an implementation of the popular Absolute Point of Focus sharpening method), which enhances perceptual detail and sharpness in a very pleasing way.
Live tone stretching with configurable stretch and black point parameters.Perform automated normalisation tone stretching, logarithmic tone stretching, colour preserving tone stretch (similar to Arcsinh) and mono data tone stretching.The download bundle does however include a ZIP called "Legacy V1 Macros" which contains V13 of the macros that can be installed with Photo V1 (1.10). Please note: V14 and future versions will only be compatible with Affinity Photo V2 and above, as they take advantage of functionality not present in V1. These macros work equally well for both OSC (one shot colour) and monochrome data setups. Workflow aids for astrophotography editing with over 100 macros including functions such as star size reduction, various tone stretching methods, multi-bandpass sharpening, diffuse glow, mono data colour mapping and more. If you wanted a printed version of any of our most recent issues we have a selection of back issues to choose from in our online store.JR Astrophotography Macros v17 (32-bit & 16-bit) Readly (all-you-can-eat digital magazine subscription service).PocketMags (multi-platform app ideal for Android devices).Zinio app (multi-platform app for desktop or smartphone).Why not subscribe to a print edition, and have the magazine delivered direct to your door every month?Īlternatively, we have a number of different digital options available, including: This tutorial originally appeared in N-Photo, the monthly newsstand magazine for Nikon photographers. Pushed too far it can over-blur the transitions between tones and leave the face looking rather flat. We want a radius that only just blurs the texture of the skin. The exact figure will depend on the resolution of your image and the size of the subject in the frame, so it has to be judged by eye. This determines the amount of blur applied to the low frequency layer. When you first engage the Frequency Separation command you’ll be asked to set the radius for the effect. Target the Blues, and lift the bottom point upwards slightly as shown Quick tip Next add a Curves adjustment layer then plot an S-shaped curve to boost contrast. Target the Reds and lift luminosity slightly, then repeat for Yellows. To finish off, click the adjustment layer icon in the Layers panel and choose HSL.
