About HDR

Affinity's Tone Mapping Persona can be used to produce high quality images of extended dynamic range, even from seemingly flat captures. Upon entering the persona, the RAW or image layer is rasterized, however this behavior can be changed in the app's Settings.

To tone map an HDR image:
  1. With a 32-bit document open, select a pixel layer and then click Tone Mapping Persona.
  2. Once in the Tone Mapping Persona, your image will have a default tone map applied to it.
  3. Experiment with the adjustments in the Tone Map panel. See below for a list of options.
  4. On the context toolbar, click Apply.
