It isn't a lion but the process is the same as this video I published. View: https://youtu.be/dmHhpB0VZ08

If the Lion is a clear subject in the image, which it looks like it will be (even with a natural background), use the Select Subject command in the Photoshop Select menu. I would expect it to make a clean selection. Invert the selection with the Inverse command, which is also in the Select menu...

Sorry, I've no idea then. I would raise it on the Affinity Photo Forum as a bug if you haven't already. The Affinity Staff are on the Forum a lot and may have some ideas.

Did you get your version from the Apple App Store by any chance? For some reason, that version seems to limit your ability to use Plugins. I'm assuming not as you said, it was a trial. I have the entire Nik Collection working in Affinity Photo 2 and several other plugins.

Did you click the option to "Allow Unknown Plugins"? That allows you to use all the Nik Plugins with Affinity. It also works with the older Nik plugin versions, although some (like Viveza) can produce a colour shift.

Hi, thanks very much. Most people tend to overlook the B&W shots. Must say I am a big fan of your work and the article in Pro Photographer was excellent. I also have your other site bookmarked - there are some great shots of Liverpool.

Yes I have had my work published in Photographic Mags, Travel Mags, Walking Mags, Travel Guides, web sites. Most of my sales are through the Alamy agency (stocks great if you have full time job) but I have re-invested the money in lots of new kit...

Yes, Chromasia was one of the early reasons for me trying HDR properly. I used to spend a lot of time blending exposures in Photoshop, tried Tone Mapping but gave up with frustration. I saw the HDR article in Pro Photographer last year, checked out a few web sites and thought "I just have to do...
