I’m switching from Photoshop to Affinity Photo and can’t find the three Curves eyedroppers used to set black, midtone/gray, and white points. Does Affinity Photo offer an equivalent feature in Curves, or another way to do the same kind of correction/matching between images?

No. Based on the community answers, Affinity Photo’s Curves adjustment does not currently include Photoshop-style black, gray, and white eyedroppers.

Closest alternatives in Affinity Photo are:

  • the Picker tool in Curves, which lets you sample a tone in the image and drag up or down to brighten or darken that tonal area
  • the dedicated White Balance tool or White Balance adjustment layer
  • setting white and black points through other adjustments/tools

So if you specifically want the three Curves eyedroppers found in Photoshop, the answer is no. But you can still achieve similar correction manually using the Picker tool plus white balance and black/white point adjustments.

I don't know what the 3 eyedropper tools do in PhotoShop, but there is the "Picker" tool in Affinity. Using this, you can click the image, drag up/down to increase/decrease that particular tonal area.
