I've never been more concerned about monitor calibration than I am viewing the example images on this product...
Is my monitor calibration that wacked? They _mostly_ look like they've been given an HSL filter with about 30-40% increase in "lightness" and a 20% decrease in saturation, and then maybe a 20% increase to contrast.
I have had some equipment and driver changes recently, so it could totally be my system - I just wanted to check and see what others are seeing before I bust out the xrite.
Yeah, they look more real-life snapshotty after the filter. I was thinking about getting them, but I use Affinity Photo which has its own macros and can't import Ps actions, as I've already learned. Anyway, it's nothing you can't accomplish with a couple of adjustments and filters, but it does save time, if that's a look you like. It looks like the "before" pictures had their blacks crushed hard, which makes the after pictures look even lighter.
For those times when you are passed a shot that requires detail contrast enhancement but suffers from heavy compression or has a lot of noise, the noise suppression control enables you to hold back the filter from increasing the noise or grain in the source clip while sharpening the image details.
Like most filters in the Continuum product, the Magic Sharp filter includes the PixelChooser matte and masking system with integrated mocha planar tracking and masking making it possible to further isolate image sharpening to specific regions of the image. For instance, you might want to use mocha masking and tracking to generate isolation masks to apply the Magic Sharp filter to a subjects eyes, while protecting the skin.
In Photoshop, the Scanning effect can be achieved using the operations, "set white point" & "set black point" provided by "Levels" feature. Combination of these two operations result in the scan effect often regarded as "magic color" in various mobile apps.

Apologies to John Kay and Steppenwolf, but get ready to go on a magic carpet ride once you enter the world of blend modes. In the real world, if you have two sheets of paper stacked on top of each other, you usually see just the top layer. If the paper is thin, you might see a bit of the text or image from the paper on the bottom show through the top. This has to do with the opacity of the top sheet.
There's confusion here. I think Bangers was asking about the shake reduction filter and AV was responding about Focus Magic. Shake reduction is built into Photoshop CC and I'm pretty sure it's not available in Elements. Focus Magic is a separate program that you can use outside of your raw processor/editor.
Neural filters use machine learning technology to literally make Photoshop smarter, enabling it to recognize elements of an image and edit or retouch photos the way a professional editor would. Because they are based on AI that is continually improving, the results will get better and better over time.
Adobe partnered with tech company Nvidia, which developed some of the machine learning libraries used in Photoshop, to create the neural filters, and the two companies are continuing to work together to improve the recently released filters and develop new filters. So far, eight filters are available in the app, including two that are fully functional and six in beta release.
Similar to the Style Transfer filter, the Makeup Transfer filter allows you to take a makeup style from a subject in one open image and apply it to a person in another. It focuses on the eyes and mouth, expanding your options for creating a specific look that fits your project or campaign.
The Colorize filter brings vintage photos back to life by adding color to black-and-white photos. The Photoshop team is also hard at work on several other neural filters that could be used in conjunction with the Colorize filter, including a Photo Restoration filter and a Dust and Scratch Removal filter. Combining filters that make sense under the umbrella of a single workflow is one more way Photoshop envisions streamlining tasks.
Other companies make filters for underwater use, and some people simply use a red filter, which filters out blues to make a photo appear more red. When using these filters, simply use the same advice that I am giving for the magic filters. The best filters for underwater will actually look more ink than red.
Magic filters are placed over the front or rear of your lens. For example, my Nikon 10.5mm fisheye has a rear filter holder that holds the filter. These filters can also be used with compact point and shoot underwater cameras. Be sure to turn off your flash when using a colored filter.
Underwater filters and red filters do not "add in" color, they subtract other wavelengths. This means you have some loss of light, so you may have to shoot at a higher ISO underwater or wider aperture in order to get a high enough shutter speed in your underwater photo. Except some small improvements, but don't expect miracles, filters can only help so much.
How is shooting with a filter in RAW different than just using ambient light without the filter and shooting in RAW? Well they are very similar. In both cases you should shoot in RAW, and the White balance tool of a raw editor will add back colors such as red and orange. Neither method can restore reds if you are down deep and the water has absorbed all of the red light. If you are in very shallow water (10ft), yellows, green and blues will look similar in both methods because most of those colors will be present.
However, when a color has only been partially absorbed by the water, the results with a magic filter should look a little better. The filter prevents some of the blue and/or green from reaching the camera sensor, resulting in a higher amount (percentage) of reds, oranges, and yellows in the raw file. After a white balance has been done, the results from magic filter should be more accurate, with less noise.
The explanation is very similar to the paragraph above titled "Magic filters vs RAW". Ambient light photos always have to be white-balanced, either in-camera underwater via manual/custom white balance, or in photoshop.
The main difference is when the white balance is done, the photograph taken with the filter will have a little bit more data in the red/orange/yellow channels than the photograph without the filter, so after a proper white-balance is done the bright colors can be more accurate with less noise, assumming you weren't so deep all information is lost in that particular color channel.
Magic Bullet is a complete set of plugins that gives you everything you need to make your footage look great, right on your editing timeline. Balance out your shots with powerful color adjustments. Then, go beyond color correction, with accurate simulations of lens filters and film stocks. And now, with both input and output color handling in Looks, Magic Bullet fits in perfectly anywhere within your high-end color workflow.
Turn this layer into a smart object, set the blending mode to Soft Light, and go to Filter>Stylize>Wind. Set the Method to Blast and the Direction to From the Right. Click OK, and run the Wind filter again, but this time set the direction to From the Left. Follow this with the Motion Blur filter set to an Angle of 0 and Distance of 200 pixels. Click OK.
Step 16: Duplicate the group, Right-click on the duplicate group, and select Merge Group from the context menu. Then apply the Motion Blur filter again with a Distance of 100 pixels. Click OK to add the final touch, completing the WandaVision-inspired magical transition effect.

Hi! I'm a web designer just coming from Photoshop. I bought affinity because sometimes I need to work with AI files. For the past half hour I have been trying to remove a pesky white background from a pixel layer. Is there no magic eraser/background eraser equivilant? Do I really need to erase round each pixel by hand? If so, Affinity isn't going to work for me.
Thanks!
Hi Paul, it is not the illistrator file I am having problems with. Just wondering a quick way to remove backgrounds from pixel-based images? In Photoshop I would be able to select the magic eraser tool, click on the white background and it would disappear. Working with icons and graphics a lot this is something I have to frequently do with pixel based images.
I'm digging this topic up to ask if this is the only way to get a similar effect to the Photoshop magic eraser? I regularly need to remove the white background from a proof sheet of thumbnail images that also contain white. I want to remove the background around the images while leaving the white colour inside the images intact, so that I can place it on a coloured background without the background colour bleeding into the thumbnail images. In Photoshop this is a 1 click operation - I'm still looking for an easy way to do this in Affinity Designer or Photo that doesn't require me to create masks behind each image.
