Thank you for the tutorial. If I watch it 8 or 9 more times I should have it locked into my brain! I love your lessons. I learn so much from them. So far I have 356 of your tutorials saved in a library so I can go back to them anytime. Thank you so much!
You mentioned this in your tutorials and live streams. But now you have gathered everything in one place, which will definitely make learning easier for beginners. It will also be useful for the more advanced as a systematized reminder. Thanks Olivio!
I had to stop at 6:14. I'm lost. I tried reshaping my upper layers & it seems to resize the backround too (1 of my images). I tried creating fill layers, importing another imageusing place= nada. No luck. I would need to see from the beginning how everything is done, not with all the layers there. I don't create art, I just edit images doing some light object removal, cloning, & maybe changed a sky once using , File, Place & a brush once to try a while back & can't even remember if I used an erase brush, etc.=lost.
WHEW,, Got it!!! Had to open a new image, go to the layers panel, copy, go back to the original image -layers panel paste & move the layers around. I had to go back & forth from AP to this vid to get it. Thanks Olivio! And I'm only at 6 min. Back to the vid.
@@OlivioSarikas Pausing your video , going back & forth got me there. If I do it a little more, I'll probably catch on. If I don't do it for a couple of months, I'll have to start over again. Maybe I'll try & play with it a little this week. Thanks.
This clearly explained a lot of my confusion about child layers I was having. Now I know what is going on, why and how to manipulate layers to get what I want. Thank you.
Thank you, one of the best of your tutorials. Relatively short and focused on one matter only. I watched it with pleasure, learnt a lot and saved it for reference. Not always possible with your tutorials. Thank you.
Hello Olivio. I want to thank you kindly for your amazing channel and videos. They are helping me tremendously in improving my photo manipulation skills with Affinity Photo. I'll put them to use for my RU-vid channel and relative social media profiles, as well as to create covers for my books. Hope this doesn't sound rude, but how come you don't have any courses on Udemy? It's a great platform, and you would have your first customer right here! 🙂
@@OlivioSarikas by what. going thru the vid. I'm only at 12 min. Haha. All this us new to me. I usually just us AP for object removal from photos with the impainting tool & some touch up with maybe the cloning tool. I'm not sure what your asking about.
@@OlivioSarikas Also with the mask I have a commercial fishing port seen & made a fog rolling in look with a gradient while watching this vid. Playing around. Had to start over a couple of times. At first I couldn't figure how you got every thing into the layers panel. Like more than one photo. moving along a little now but very slowly. will try moving thru the rest of the video now.
Very helpful. I find that Serif do not have a very clear way of referring to the two types of layers. Is one a "child" layer and the other a "mask" layer? Are they both "child" layers but with different behaviors? Serif do not speak clearly about this. Here are my take aways: 1. When the content of a layer is positioned as a "child" (long bar, not a "mask") layer, it is the "parent" layer that clips the boundaries of the "child". 2. When the content of a layer is positioned as a "mask" (short bar, not a "child") layer, it is the "mask" layer that clips the boundaries of the "parent" layer. 3. When the content of a layer is positioned as a "mask" (short bar, not a "child") layer, any alpha transparency values of the "mask" layer content have an effect on the transparency of the "parent". This alpha information could be from a gradient with transparency, as you illustrated, or even from a Blend Range curve adjustment to the "mask" layer content.
@@sdhute check the brushes tab. there is a pop-down menu with categories where you can find all kinds of tips for different dry and wet paint styles. however, Affinity Photo does not simulate oil paint or the flow of water paint. So they are mainly tip shapes
