How to Add Patterns to Clothing in Affinity Photo 

Thanks so much Jim! :)

Thank you Lee! That's so nice of you. 😊

Thank you so much! :)

Great tip Jason! 😊

It only looks easy because I practiced 5 times before filming the video... haha :)

The shirt needs to be blank before you can add a new pattern, but you could use the Inpainting Brush & Clone Brush to remove a logo from a shirt. To learn how, watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YybYFkYYWDg.html

Great job multitasking! 😄

Thank you! That's so nice of you to say. 🤗

Thanks so much Richard! 😊

Thanks so much Dan! :)

Thank you! Glad you liked the video. 😊

Thank you Paul! Glad you liked the video. 😊

There is a Displace Filter, but I think this technique looks more realistic :)

Thank you! 😊

"Phew" is right! It's a lot of steps. But I think the end result is worth it :)

I'm not, sorry!

I have a patterns tutorial, which has some tips for making seamless patterns: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pm-tk5x9Dn0.html

You need to have purchased Affinity Photo 2. Affinity Photo 1 only has the basic mask option. 🙂

@@AffinityRevolution Is good to know. Thanks so much!

There is, but for adding patterns to clothing, I think the technique in this video produces a more realistic result. 🙂

Thank you Frank! :)

Thanks for the idea!

That's a good idea, thank you! 😊

Adding a mask to the shirt is the most time consuming part, so once you have that done, you can repeat the rest of the process pretty quickly for new patterns. 😊

Thanks for the idea! :)

Thank you Louise! Glad you liked the video. 😊

It took me a lot of practice to get this good. I'm sure your skills will get better over time too. 😊

@@AffinityRevolution Thank you.

Glad to hear! I hope your project goes well. 😊

You're welcome! Glad you liked the video. 😊

I don't think there is automatic way to do all 50 at once, but after you've made the mask, it will be much faster to do the other patterns. 🙂

That's a perfect setup! 😊

Thank you Bernie! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Děkuji! 😊

Yay! Have fun! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thanks Andy! Glad you liked the video. 😊

A+ Dad Joke! 😁

Thank you! 😊

Aww, thank you! 🤗

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked the video. 😊

Thank you Ron! :)

Thanks Kevin! :)

You can use Version 1 too! If you're using Version 1, you just need to use Blend Ranges instead of a Luminosity Mask. To see how Blend Ranges work, check out this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qZOyA3lNTYU.html

@@AffinityRevolution Oh thx, I should have checked the pinned msg from you 🙃

Thanks Bob! 🤗

Thank you! 😊

Thank you Daniela! 😊

I haven't done that before! I'll need to try it out. Thanks for the tip! :)

@@AffinityRevolution I just tried it. Two pointers: 1. The displacement filter yields the smoothest results if the underlying fabric layer is blurred a bit. 2. It appears that the pattern art around the outside edges of the shirt could still benefit from some liquify filter work. So, maybe it requires a one-two punch of Displacement + Liquify.

@@markoehlschlager3862 Awesome tips! Thank you so much!

Thanks Kevin!

You're welcome! Glad you liked the video. 😊

Thank you Bernard! 😊

Graag gedaan! Ik ben blij dat je de tutorial leuk vond. 😊

Thank you Luke! 😊

Thank you Max! 🤗

You can do it!! 🤗

@@AffinityRevolution Hey question....for some reason, when i try to get to the luminosity stage by clicking the mask icon, it doesnt give me the options like you have. It just masks it. So im unable to do the highlights and shadows. Im trying to figure out why. So im stuck at this point. Any suggestions?

@@RyansUndies Luminosity Masks are only in Affinity Photo Version 2. If you're using Affinity Photo Version 1, you need to use Blend Ranges instead of a Luminosity Mask. To see how Blend Ranges work, check out this video I made: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qZOyA3lNTYU.html 😊

@@AffinityRevolution omg thank you! That was the issue! I think I got it now!!!

It's awesome! 🥳

Thank you! That's so nice of you. 🤗

@@AffinityRevolution The more I do my research of Affinity tutorials on YT, the more I come across your videos. I've signed up for a couple of the free courses that you offer as well. So, I Thank You for all of the valuable education that you are constantly providing!

Thank you! Good to have you as a super fan. 😉

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! Yes, his patterns are beautiful :)

@@AffinityRevolution And of course: thanks for a new wonderful tutorial! You make it look so easy, well explained!

You're too kind, Vitor! 🤗

Sorry, Affinity Photo doesn't have that functionality. Personally, I just select all my layers and turn them off & on to see the before and after.

Yes, you could use similar techniques to add tattoos. Here's a video from another teacher on adding tattoos in Affinity: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-my_MiHiXsUg.html
