Thanks, trying affinity photo as an alternative to photoshop, was worried initially when i didn't see the polygonal lasso

youre the fucking GOAT, thanks dude! ♥

Superb, but need to come back when I'm in a better grade, so much to take in and not seen this anywhere else. Great vid & thks.

It was a great idea you had to include "Mono Protect" in your macro. For me, that makes it a better choice over AP2's Hue Range Mask. But how can I learn how to create my own procedural textures? I've looked at the equations you use, but they make no sense to me.

Simply superb, the only vid I have found that shows the the use and importantly the options in the channels pane. Thk you.

Super vid, the first I have seen that makes more sense that a mask is not in the layer stack but as you showed is actually along side of the layer it is attached to, and that nice graphic does make it more clear. But I confess when you start dragging mask around the layers I have no clue as Affinity seems to have a mind of it's own where/if it will let you grab/drop it. Sometime the layer looks like your example ie a layer an inset ( child ? ) mask underneath where sometimes the both are independently selectable and other times selecting either the layer or the mask highlights them both, totally confused, then other times they are side by side, extra confused, and I can't find any good info from the Affinity video lib ( unless I have missed it ), I guess they are all for the professional users and not the casual users like me and zillion others worldwide, so this vid does at least demystify the very first part of using a mask clearly. Many thks and Kind Rgds. PS. Are all these 'clipping' masks, I hear/see that term used here and there.

I never understood the logic behind this. Why does it keep the color when you switch it off? Thanks for the workaround.

Thank you, sir.

🎉

very cool thank you!

How did you come up with all the equations for the procedural masks? Did you get them from some textbook, or was it trial and error?

I didn't know you could use other selection tools to create a selection for the Patch tool! That's terrific!

Thanks, brilliant, I had the problem of MetallicSmoothnes textures (smoothness was the alpha channel) but Godot using MetallicRoughness, So I needed to Invert the Alpha. Now my Models look as glossy as I intended them to be. Thanks.

Hi dave where are you ? Missing you 😢 I love your changingminds website since long

this video is really well made. thank you very much for this detailed explanation

"computers have no idea what to do with infinity" Who does?

Missing you on UA-cam hope your OK 👃

Incredibly helpful - thank you for such concise and complete walkthroughs :)

This is just a brilliant trick. Thank you for that. Solves my struggles with color cast is ten seconds.

What a ridiculous method of creating a layer !!!! In PS and PSP you just make a marquee and press a keystroke !! The fact that i'm having to watch UA-cam videos just to find out how to do basic things, is infuriating.

I have seen lots of photos of landscapes where the green tones (grass and leaves) look so saturated to me as to be positively weird. Is the camera recording the green saturation incorrectly, or are our eyes so sensitive to green tones that we just perceive green as highly saturated?

Can I remove or increase the aliasing on the edges of shapes?

You forgot to say that the reason for the live filter (or smart object, which is how it's called in newer versions) is that you can then after picking the blending mode go and tune the high-pass filter radius on the fly to get a better result

Thank you for this very easy to follow tutorial. Your Affinity sessions will be my go-to for sure.

Thank you for this very easy to follow tutorial.

It's never good when the explanation is more complex, and convoluted that the actual explanation.

You are the best! I just installed Affinity and now I think Im a pro. Thank you so much!

So much easier in PS - select all > edit > stroke and your done. Is there no simple equivalent in Affinity?

Thank you so much!

It's not your fault. It's Serif's fault for trying to pack too many different operations into dragging on the layer stack: "...above the line..." "..below the line..." "drag onto name..." "drag onto icon..." "drag onto bar..." Each of these can produce a different result and I find it impossible to remember which drag operation produces which result. And with V2 you now have linked layers with their own subordinate layers, which is even harder to figure out. It would have been just fine to have the Arrange menu with operations like "Create clipping mask" and "Create child layer" and so on, with the "scope" of the layers in the layer stack shown with icons or letters indicating "clipping mask" or "child layer". Also a colored arrow showing which layer is linked to which other layer. Certainly a novice would find "Create clipping mask" easier to understand than "above the line" and "below the line"

Thankyou for your time.

Well i may as double up your comments section. When using the brush tool points of overlap double the density and make for uneven shadows. How do we set the brush so that an brush overlap is the same density. Even dropping the layers opacity to 30% does not work. Adding wet edges to the brush helps but its still increases density on points of overlap not by much but it is noticable. Any advice most welcome.

A great simple tutorial. Thankyou. Im sorry that none of my fellow nurds have bothered to leave a comment in 5 years.

I'd like to save some of my gradient maps, but if I click on the adjustment button on the bottom (between the mask and fx button) my saved gradients are not there. I understand that if you click on "adjustment" on the toolbar (yours is next to layers, effects and stack on the right just below the opacity slider) you can see saved gradient maps. How do you get "adjustment" to appear on that toolbar? It's not there on my user interface and I can't seem to find a way make it appear. I know it's easy - can you help me? Thanks - I love gradient maps but would like to save them for batch photos, etcs. Thanks for your amazing videos!!!

I recently acquired the Affinity trio and needed to get the patch tool working right away. Your voice, accent, information provided and speed is well-suited for teaching. Thank you so much.

Underrated video, I've been searching the net for an exact definition but most tutorials don't explain it clear enough...

Thanks Dave, just what I was looking for. Many thanks

Thank you very much. I was looking for a video like this for a long time. There are so many videos on UA-cam on this topic but no one has explained the method how darken mode actually works like you have. Now i understand well. Thank you again, many many thanks.

Who invented this blend mode? Artists who knew math, or mathematicians who knew art?

This worked exactly the same in Design V2 - thanks very much!

Thanks so much! Another clever way to success explained!

very useful. Thank you

thank you, that's one of the best explanations of how two use a Luminosity Mask and how to use it.

Fantastic, thanks so much for sharing. I will be looking to create an authentic 2-strip colour representation on my 1930s style artwork. Your video is by far the most informative that I’ve come across. I was having trouble figuring out why Red and Green were looking so much like Cyan and Magenta in my research!

thanks a lot

So pretty and such a pretty wife too! Thanks for sharing your technique.

Thank you! In the newer versions of Affinity Photo, you can type in the values for lab (0.5). So being accurate is not difficult anymore.

Thanks ❤

Excellent explanation. I've used multiply for decades, knew what it did but never really understood exactly how. Thanks!

The Kodachrome 64 had wonderful colors. With digital the colors are disgusting and dull. We are going backwards instead of moving forward, sad times.
