Step-by-Step Guide
Image Selection and Preparation
Before you start editing an image, you need to insert an image into your Affinity Publisher project. You can do this by simply dragging the image into the document or using the "Insert Image" menu option. Once the image is in the document, click on the image to select it. You can now adjust the image editing tools.
Convert to Black and White
Once you have selected an image, you can convert it to black and white. Simply click on the crescent moon icon in the lower toolbar. This opens the adjustment settings where you can quickly change the image color. Select the "Black and White" option, and the image will be automatically converted.
Increasing Contrast
After converting to black and white, it is possible to adjust the tones. For example, you can reduce the blues to increase contrast and image dynamics. Move the relevant sliders to achieve the desired effect. These adjustments are straightforward and provide you with the flexibility you need to achieve the perfect look.
Making Color Corrections
If your image does not have the right colors, you can adjust the color balance. To do this, double-click on the color correction filter. A window will open where you can move the sliders for the color nuances as you wish. For example, you can increase the yellows to make the sea in your image more vibrant. Experiment with the sliders to find the optimal color scheme for your image.
Applying Tonal Corrections
If the image appears underexposed, you can work with tonal correction. Look for the "Tonal Values" option in the backend of your image editing tool. Adjust the lights and shadows to improve the brightness of the image. This feature allows you to highlight details that would otherwise be lost in darkness.
Resetting Adjustments
If you are not satisfied with the adjustments, you can reset the settings at any time. Simply click the "Reset" button in the adjustment dialog, and all changes will be removed. This is particularly useful if you have made several adjustments and want to return to a previous state.
