It give a subtle sharpening without affecting the grain. I have only run it a few images but I am pleased with the results. The workflow is as follows: duplicate layer, run detect edges filter, run median blur at 2, run gaussian blur at 2, rasterize to mask, create spare channel from alpha background channel, delete duplicate layer, run live filter unsharp mask at 0.8 radius and factor 4, 66% opacity, luminosity blend, and finally apply mask from the spare channel. If the forum allows I will attach my macro file. I hope there are some folks here on LL who use Affinity Photo and are familiar with the basic concepts of Fraser and Schewe's sharpening methods who can give me some feedback. I have begun an effort to emulate the Fraser/Schewe sharpening actions as Affinity macros. It seems to have all the necessary tools but they appear in somewhat different form. To overcome some of the limitations of Elements I have purchased Affinity Photo. I have both the editions of Real World Image Sharpening and purchase of the 2nd edition allows one to download the sharpening actions described in the book. Our team developed these LUTS and macros.

The Macropanel provides a means of recording, saving, importing and exporting macrosa series of actions and operations that can be quickly reproduced and applied to speed up and aid workflows. Most of my postprocessing work is with scanned film images.
