Affinity Photo / Affinity Designer and Publisher tutorials along with Photoshop etc, how to use, how to add brushes, use gradients, how to mask and much more
nice one ! for the ellipse, you can use transform mode (along with cmd and shift) to pull the alternate nodes in centered manner, rotate them as a whole etc ...
I bought Corel Painter Essentials 8 via Amazon. Via Mac download as a one-time purchase no subscription to Corel. Although I did have to sign in to register my purchase. In a surreal twist it appears as if Painter Essentials 8 does not have a "Selection Tool" in the toolbar navigation at left. (the standard tilted "arrow" everyone uses to select). Oddly Corel says Painter Essentials 8 has it,,,, I just cannot locate it. Brand new purchase. Question: given this is a Painter Essentials tutorial, is the basic selection tool hidden somewhere?
I purchased Affinity photo, designer and publisher as an alternative to Photoshop monthly payment, too expensive for me and I love it! Those programs are really gems and their possibilities endless. So thank you very much for this video. I am going to try.🙏
thank you. I agree, Photoshop subscription is way too expensive though I still have mine, there is hardly a month that I don't think, I must cancel it. Glad you found the video of interest, always adding videos all the time on Affinity as well as other apps (my favourite at the moment is Cavalry, a free video app but one packed solid with vector features and still image features)
Way late, Complete Newbie Question: [Preface: used to have an Apple Mac desktop for years with Adobe Illustrator software for vector graphics. I loved Illustrator. Especially liked creating anchor points, clicking and dragging points to create shapes for logos, etc. The desktop crashed after ten years.] Now have a MacBook Pro laptop and am craving design software. Can one use Corel Painter Essentials for aforementioned vector graphics? Thanks!
No idea, I haven't got Corel Painter Essentials. If you want to use a good application for vector graphics, perhaps check out Affinity Designer (or even Affinity Photo) There is also Inkscape and probably Many others (I use Cavalry free version as well for that but that is more a video editor)
@@Graphicxtras1understood, but your video is a tutorial with Corel Painter Essentials? Wondering where the anchor points tool is (in tool navigation at left) that you showed in above video.
@@thecrowrains I have Corel Painter, they are very different. The essentials is a stripped down version of that and I have no idea what is in it. It may not have the vector features.
Glad you start doing Cavalry tutorials. That's a fantastic tool for vector pattern generation with all these repeaters and nested possibilities. Eager to see what creative ideas you find
Some things will be beyond me unless I get the pro version but I agree, I think it is an amazing application for vector designs (and images) and will be adding more and more on those features, certainly impressed by the application
@@Graphicxtras1 yes, it's quite deep and complex, but the free version gives a LOT of possibilities already. For static svg modelling (ie no animation), I found that the free version has it all
@@calamalabar Yet to do anything with SVGs, that will definitely be something to look at as I did a lot with SVG in Illustrator and other apps. I think it is a very deep and powerful app, just looking at the documentation has convinced me of that as I often think, what, what does that even mean but I am certain the results are amazing. A lot to explore.
thank you, always good to clean up the interface of the app if it allows it - there are always tools that I want at hand and some that I never use. You can always restore it back to the standard.
@@BALDYMAN Sorry about that, not sure why Just added a new video of adding an image to a shape (though it could be filled with image textures as well).
I have added a new video, though not sure if you want the texture to add depth etc to the image such as adding a paper effect over the image with 3D etc, haven't worked that one out ... if possible.
How do I apply a specific color to a gradient? Once upon a time I could use the eyedropper to set a color as the foreground color and that was what the gradient would apply. I still have the 2018 version of Photoshop and can use that, I suppose… Thx
Not exactly sure what you mean, in classic gradient I can still use the eyedropper and in the latest gradient type, you can double click the stops and display the color picker etc (I can't recall how it exactly worked in 2018 version, no longer got that installed).
I deffo like this one!! lol and all the previous ones as well!! some very interesting ideas going on here you're fast becoming one of my fav affinity content youtubers!! this idea can certainly be used as a springboard for other ideas thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I could NOT find how to keep the stroke selection, always going back to basic and 1, and it was driving me mad having to change each stroke weight and profile, especially when I had hundreds of lines to do. Wish I'd found it sooner, but SO glad I've found it now.
In what way ? some of the features of Photoshop are not in elements and vica versa. I doubt if the apply image filter is in elements (I don't have the app)
Idea: Once the top layer is filled --> - change its status (for example: inlay) - remove the gaussian blur from the bottom image The results are spectacular
Even better then, there are always many ways to use this technique. I really quite like the flood fill, though as with many things, I think there are lots of things to explore with it but it could do with a few more minor features
