wow Lynne that is such an amazing compliment and I appreciate it very much. Thank you for supporting my channel and thank you for your wonderful comment.

Hi Dave funny you say that as when I first did the picture I did leave the mist a little lighter and I could see the shore line. In the tutorial I got a little carried away with it I think. Thank you so much for your support and thanks for watching and commenting it’s very much appreciated. Thanks again ...Mike

Hi Roka here is really Good explanation form Robin Whalley you can find him here The Photo Personal fine him herelenscraft.co.uk/photo-editing-tutorials/affinity-photo-personas-explained/ This Persona is the main editing workspace in Affinity Photo. It’s also the default Persona when editing an image. Typically, you use this Persona if you want to perform tasks like removing or moving objects in an image. If you want to apply an adjustment to an image to enhance its colour or make it black and white. The Develop Persona Earlier we said that the Photo Persona was the default editing Persona. The exception to this is when opening a RAW file. You must convert a RAW file to an image format before you can edit it. This conversion’s performed in the Photo Persona. If open a RAW file in Affinity Photo, you’ll find yourself automatically in the Develop Persona. You can then only switch to another Persona by clicking the “Develop” button in the top left of the interface. This converts the RAW file to an image format.

Thank you so much, it took a change in direction but I think I have found my niche. Love your latest vid by the way 🙂

Thank Ian great point with the mist, something to try next time. 👍

You are welcome! thanks for watching

Hi Vincent yes I think I was a little heavy handed on the mist. I guess the beauty of a tutorial is it gives you not just what to do but what not to do lol.In normal circumstances I would back of the opacity to your liking. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

So Glad you liked it

No real reason At all Fred, other than the Develop persona has all the adjustments in one place. Sometimes easier than adding multiple adjustments in the Photo Persona. Just another way to achieve the results you are looking for. Thanks for watching and commenting I really do appreciate it very much .....Mike

HI Mathew I inverted the selection so that the eraser brush only effects anything on the outside of the jetty selection. If i did not invert the selection the eraser would erase the jetty itself. I hope I have explained this and it makes sense. so basically I am only erasing anything outside of the jetty selection ...Mike

Thanks Claude I understand what you are staying as I think I float in between both worlds a little bit. I think of it now as photography meets art. I know it’s not for everyone but I get a certain satisfaction when i transform a photograph. Believe me though it not always for the best and the original photo is the better option . Thank you for being such a great supporter of my channel I appreciate it very much .
