Today i will show you two easy ways to remove shadows from a portrait. The first one is perfect for selective shadow removal and great for any case where you need to have more control over your light.
The second one uses HDR Merge in a creative way to give you a great looking result from just one initial photo.

honestly, every single one of your tutorials, shows me things about AP, on a daily base, that I don´t know. That´s pretty frustrating 😁 Lots to learn....thx 👍

Awesome, I'm really happy to hear that I can teach you something new with every video. And don't think I know all these things just like that. I do a lot of research and learning myself all the time. :)

This is effective, but needlessly complex. If you simply cannot bear to touch the original, just make a copy layer and work directly on the shadow in that.

Guys watchout when clipping adjustments to a specific layer so it does not affect other layers. The order of adjustments in this stack is inverted, the first adjustment is topmost one, right below the layer clipped on and the most bottom one is the last adjustment applied. This is a bit confusing since stacking adjustments on top of layers causes topmost adjustment to be the last one

Your first method was nicely done. Thanks for pointing out the use of Blend Ranges. Hadn't really thought about that. Give lots of control, applied manually.

@OlivioSarikas 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Yes, the blend ranges are really useful for a lot of things. :)

Großartiges Video, die 2. Version als HDR finde ich noch besser und ist für mich auch einfacher zu merken, da ich sowieso oft Belichtungreihen mache.

@OlivioSarikas 6 жыл бұрын

Cool, das freut mich. Du kannst die beiden sogar kombinieren, indem du das HDR bild als layer über das original kopierst und dann mit einer maske nur da anzeigst wo du es haben willst :)

Hello Olivio - Little Hint: Method 1 is - with some aditional settings - my personal workflow for Dodge&Burn ;-) In my oppinion better than the "Gray-tone"-Approach, you use in an other video.

Thanks Olivio, you are one of the Go To people for Affinity. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong if in way 1 the HSL layer makes no difference? I've got them grouped as HSL on top, then Curves then mask.I'm partially removing shadows under broad brim hats from the Australian sun, so do need to pump up the saturation a bit. Cheers, Peter

I think the first way is more effective in removing shadows. I tried the second way and the effect was not obvious.

Great solutions to a very common problem (well, in my photos anyway)! Is there no end to what Olivio can do in Affinity Photo?! I think there is not. These two solutions will help me often since I don't use studio lighting. Thank you.

I love Olivio's tutorials and I know this isn't an Affinity Photos support site but when I invert the mask layer, my image disappears. I think I followed the steps exactly. I'm using v 1.72. Anyone else seeing this?

@shanley1190 4 жыл бұрын

Love your tutorials, short and to the point. When I try to drag the mask under the Curves layer it won't move,could you tell me what I''m missing?

@OlivioSarikas 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Shanley, sometimes they are a bit sticky. Try to click & drag the mask out to somewhere else and then back it. If they are a bit indented to the right, it means they have connected to that layer. So you need to pull them out again and then in again to see if they are now freely sitting below the other layer. Other than that. I don't see a reason why you wouldn't be able to move them

Hello Olivio, First of all, I recently switched to Affinity Photo from Gimp and your tutorials are brilliant. Thank you. I do have one question that confuses me, why do you add a mask layer when the curve adjustment layer is already a mask? Why not just ctrl+i ( invert) the curves layer?

@OlivioSarikas 5 жыл бұрын

Hi John, thank you :) The reason i do that, is because it's more flexible. I can move the mask to other layers, copy it and more. So it keeps everything a lot more flexible. Plus it is more visible in the tutorial
