I simply through the histogram out the window.

My initial thoughts were, who is this rough fellow who ignores the histogram, it's a bit over the top! However, having viewed, you have done exceedingly well. You mention that you have affinity, which leads me to say that you definitely should consider the photo-editing program Affinity Photo, which I use, and absolutely love!! It competes exceedingly well with Photoshop and costs peanuts at the moment. Am not sure of other countries, but here in NZ they are selling the full program for NZ$52 until 1 August, which is mind-boggling cheap. Normal NZ $75, which is still a steal. I am an absolute convert. Absolutely no vested interests.

I have looked at Affinity and it does seem to be good software. My problem is my old and tired brain. I find that if i use just one software I do better.
