This is a composite. Both the ship and the setting are my images. Processed through Affinity Photo and topaz.

I really like this image! The red makes the car pop, and the contrasting green makes it all the more intriguing. Great combination! Love the concept!
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. Simplify is on my Windows computer; I'm now an Apple gal 
With a bit of struggle, I was able to get DxO's newest version of Nik Collection to act as a plug-in to Affinity on the Mac, however.
Appreciate your time.

Great to see you again, Claud! I love your result. Is the old Topaz Simplify involved? I've switched from Elements to Affinity but also to the new M1 Mac from Windows and have been wondering if there's any way to get Simplify into my system 
Integrating Photoshop plugins is easy, at least on a PC. Install the plugins as normal, open Affinity Photo, go to 'Preferences,' click on Photoshop Plugins, check the box to allow unknown plugins to be used, select the folder where the plugin is located, and then restart Affinity Photo. The plugin should be found under the menu Filters/plugins.
Here's a more detail explanation: http://www.namesuppressed.com/support/plugins-affinity-photo.shtml

Very well done composite. It all goes together very nicely. Did you only use Topaz on the background? I like that the Elk looks more natural. The combination keeps the background from distracting from the Elk.
Yes, I used Topaz Simplify for the whole image, but enhanced the elk by overlaying the original elk and blending it into the background.
Thanks!

This is a composite image.
Both the background and the elk are my images. Both images were taken on the same day and in the same general time and area. Both images were processed in Affinity Photo and cycled through legacy Topaz plugins.
The background was taken from a ridge overlooking “West Horseshoe Park” and the “Alluvial Fan” on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park.

I'm not sure what the end goal is, but you can export to SVG in Affinity Photo with a transparent background.
That will reduce the file size and should import into Adobe Illustrator.
Hope this is helpful.

Go For It!! I have been using Affinity for 4-5 years and find it a solid replacement for PS/LR. It's a quality product, has a large library of tutorials and online support/help when you need it. So far I have no complaints.

Wanderer2, I totally agree with you. I, also, shoot only Raw, and they are converted nicely into Affinity Photo for me. Been using Photoshop since 2002, now in Affinity Photo, and not looking back.

Good video. I've never played with LUTs.
When do you use them?
When do you use them?
LUTs are a kind of color filter used to alter color in an image.
They can alter gamma, contrast, saturation, luminance, and hue. They take original colors and change them into a new set of colors.
They can be used for color correction, color grading work, color enhancement, adding darker tones for mood adjustment, increasing shadows and highlights, boosting mid-tones, and on and on.
They are a creative tool, and in my opinion, are used when the creative urge strikes.
