I'm a bit late to the party, but saw your video ands it looked rather good, but I have a couple or three questions if you don't mind? 1, first of, how do you setup your screen like that? mine doesn't show all the tools on the left and same with the layers, I can only see the first layer and have to click on the icon below them to see the rest of them, my settings are 3840 x 2160 (native). 2, I followed your tutorial up to where you are creating a mask 10:01 when I try to create a mask, mine doesn't put the mask picture next to the proper picture like yours does, it puts a mask there but it only has a little image in the bottom right corner of it and the picture in the workspace doesn't have the colour like yours does? so I get to this point and I am stuck. I am subscribed by the way. 👍👍
As a beginner hobbyist photoshop user at best, I am trying to transition to Affinity Photo 2. This video was extremely helpful to me from the information gained on how to use the app tools and recolonizing images. You have an excellent teaching style. I will be watching more of your videos and hope you continue to create them. I have a feeling many will transition to Affinity and be looking for such great tutorials. Thank you for sharing with a new subscriber.
This video was really well explained and executed. You have a new subscriber! :) One common issue with old photos is exposure to the sun or being left near a radiator or in a hot car. This causes areas which appear faded or over-exposed. often right in the middle of the image. Such fading can often be in the form of a gradient. I'd love to see a video showing how to repair this, please.
Affinity supports the math natively. Just type "+ 40" to both dimensions. Once you deselect the field (using TAB for instance) the math is calculated automatically.
Chris, It seems that much has changed since this tutorial, would you consider doing another tutorial of the same detail with current changes? Your work is great. And the pen tool needs some updating. Thank you.
I realise this is an old video now but I tried this on a photo recently using the latest version of Affinity Photo and I can't find the colour format option on the document drop down menu. Any help please? I would like to try this method if possible.
Whaou i look the finish it's amazing. But Iam french and it's hard to understand quickly when the man talk. If I want to have the i,formation I must search a solution what i don't have
You show "Pen" "mask" and "selection" next to the "fill" and "stroke" My affinity designer does no show this no matter what I do, can you tell me how I get the "mask" and "selection buttons?
Can you do a photo restoration tutorial? Like how to remove tears and folds on the page? I'm working on one right now for a class assignment and I've been using this tutorial for the recolor. I just want to see if there's a better way than just inpainting for the bumps and folds to get a smoother photo.
Hello Chris, I am very lucky came across this tutorial. Simply superb way of explaining. I am your fan. Request you to make a video for the newbies, starting from explaining every tool and use of the same.
Did you went through all the hard work of masking with curves and then just used a destructive "curves to selection" workflow? Why not just create a mask? will never complain a about a free review but this seem very wrong. or am i missing something here ...
Hi Chris, thanks for that. Question: what is your recommended method for saving an edit as work in progress in order to come back to it later - maybe even several times. Thanks for the video.
@@chrispwilliams6297 Thanks for the reply! W.r.t. the first part of your answer, can I then edit the preset? W.r.t. the second part of your answer will I be able to edit the affinity file in develop mode again. My basic idea is to edit back and forth for a while, before moving into the Photo / manipulation mode.
@@accentontheoff yes using the develop preset you can make changes and then re save the preset. When in the photo persona you can return to the develop persona but the changes are destructive
I know this is a bit late, but may be a helpful tip if anyone is still reading the comments. You can choose any color outside of Affinity Photo (AP) without having to save a file and open again in AP. Just click and hold on the color picker, and drag over to any spot you want to pick a color from. If on two or more monitors, you can have the color you want on your other monitor AP is not. If on single monitor, make the AP window small and be sure to have whatever you are using to visible at the time AP is on screen, click the color picker, and drag over to the color you want outside AP.
This is terrific Chris. There is enough info here to help me with so many of my Affinity blind spots. I'm an old Adobe man now unable to justify the subscription costs now that I am retired. Curious to know - are you UK based? Thanks indeed.
