Title: Commisioned renderings for Affinity Spotlight
Post by: infraredCGI on 2020-01-12, 16:50:35

Commisioned renderings for Affinity Spotlight article.
Some time ago we were asked by Serif Europe Ltd for making two Architectural visualizations, postprocess it with Affinity Photo and present full postprocessing workflow. Below you can find link to Affinity Spotlight interview with us, presenting some of our works and timelapse of full postprocessing.

Nice work - I'd actually read the article on the Affinity blog!

Were you using Affinity before the project came up, and have you now completely replaced Photoshop with Affinity Photo? I'm considering the switch, so it would be useful to get some thoughts!

Speed, full 32-bit depth support, non-destructive workflow and Photoshop plug-in compatibility!

I don't have many plugins from Photoshop, but i find that their compatibility with Affinity Photo is very weak. Most of them won't work and those that works, are very unstable.

Hi guys! Thanks for comments.

jms.lwly - Actually I am using Affinity on daily basis, and almost completly ditch Photoshop. Still there are some features that should be implemented in Affinity, for example smart objects or, just for me, PDF presentations, but if you do not use these features very often then you should give a try to Affinity Photo in my opinion.

romullus - for me, Affinity Photo is really stable and I do not have any issues (and I am using Affinity almost two years). I do not know which plugins do you use, but in my case Color Effex Pro plugin works like a charm.

I use just few free plugins from Flaming Pear collection and they crash Affinity every other time. Those plugins are old and abandoned, maybe that's the main reason behind their instability. It's good to know that more recent and maintained plugins works flawlesly.

I like Affinity, but i miss Photoshop a bit too often.

Nice commercial quality.
I am just not sure about this big trees in corners. Maybe with out it would be better

Thanks 3Dmitri for comment.
Maybe it would be better, but for commisioned rendering purposes there was a need to use cutout plants and people fo course.
