make sure you convert your jpeg to sRGB 8bit
set your user interface to white background via Preferences adjust gray background to 100% so you can visualise your image as it will be seen on IG
increase brightness, brightness contrast, saturation, vibrance and warmth (via Lens Filter)
increase sharpness by using High Pass filter, adjust so you see some details, then choose blend mode Overlay
resize to 1080×1350 to prevent IG down-sizing

Introduction
Affinity Photo is an image editing software designed to replace most of your Photoshop needs without having to pay an ongoing subscription
it has a number of advantages over Photoshop such as:
no ongoing subscription
built in RAW editor
Live preview of drop down effects and brush effects before they are applied
Live preview of gradients and able to edit these at a later stage
far easier object dragging - no need to go through the cumbersome process of converting to smart objects
ability to go to full screen mode
it has many advantages over Lightroom:
Understanding the different sharpening options
frequency separation for landscapes
Add sun ray light beams and ground fog to your backlit forest image

select highlights, create a layer for the highlight selection using Ctrl-J then de-select using Ctrl-D
add a Zoom Blur with radius 700px, move source point then apply.
intensify effect my making multiple duplications of the layer and then group them.
optionally re-align and resize the effect by using the Move tool
rasterise the group
set blend mode to Screen and set blend range Out to 50%.
Add Gaussian blur to bottom of rays by Add Live Filter Gaussian Blur (around 4px) then add a Gradient with white near the bottom and change the gray dot to black via the Color picker at top right.
Add hazy fog effect by adding a Curves layer, raise the black point to half way up and add a vertical gradient so this leaves a layer of fog at the bottom only.
Add texture to the fog, by creating a new pixel layer, add a Perlin noise filter and set the blend mode to Overlay and optionally add a gradient mask to it.
Add cyan darkening to trees in shadows by adding a curves layer and bring up blacks by 5% and in the red channel, also bring up the blacks 5%.
Finally, tweak the effect by adjusting the opacity of the layers.
