Great tutorial! just gotta say that if you find your Command J duplicate selection isn't working you will need to raterize you initial image so it becomes a pixel layer and not an image layer.

The difference is that you delivered on the title and added extras on the back to deliver more than your title said with the brushes! Which is totally fine, in contrast to that other glowing ball video where your title promised a glowing ball, but half of the video was just editing the background and when it came to the title promise you started adverting

Hi Rens, I enjoyed your video and sharing. This gave me a good idea about the concept. I am just started couple days ago of using Affinity Photo as my retirement hobby. I tried to follow your video but I do not see Star Brush under Brushes; I actually do not have the long list of brushes functions available like yours. How do I get them? I have imported fineliner-brushes but still do not see them under Brushes menu. Your advice is apprecaited.

@IAMRENSI 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Arthur! Great that you started using Affinity Photo. It makes sense that you don't see the same brushes list, and that is because I custom made most of my brushes (most of them aren't available yet). Send me an email at rens@iamrensi.com and I'll get back to you ! :)

@kathleen336 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your tutorial...I noticed in your "Gear Used" section , that you are using a Huion tablet. I have a Wacom Intuos Art Medium, but I bought it years ago, but it's still going strong. I would like to buy my sister, who just getting into digital art, a tablet, but the Wacoms are so expensive. How is the the size of your tablet, the pen pressure and over all use of the Huion working out for you?

@IAMRENSI 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Kathleen! To be honest, I really enjoy working with it! But I have to admit that I used a very cheap and terrible drawing tablet before. So this one was a great upgrade and definitely eased my workflow, but I don't have so much comparison material. The size feels right to me and what I especially love is the dial on the top left (used for zooming or changing brush size). It can also be used wireless, which sometimes definitely comes in handy, and it can be used to draw on Android phones (I have an iPhone so I never got to try it)! I don't use pen pressure very often when doing photo manipulation, but it works like it should. I'm a happy user :) If you decide to order one, and you want to support me, you could order it through this affiliate link amzn.to/2UzVmfo for which I'll get a small commission as an Amazon Associate at no extra for you, but that's up to you! I hope this helps ! If you have any other questions, let me know!

Hey Rens, thank you for sharing such a great Technic! On the TImestamp 12:05 you are adjusting colors by transforming the curves. Behind the curves there are some other colored lines (looking like a Chart of a bad Stock in green, yellow and purple). As I opened my adjustment tool, I have none of them. Only diagonal lines which I can transform. What I want to ask is, why I don't have that colored "bad stocks lines" behind the adjustment lines? Thank you!

@IAMRENSI 3 жыл бұрын

First of all, thanks for your kind words! Honestly I'm not sure why you don't see these "stock"-lines. They represent the histogram of each RGB channel. What I've noticed is that the graph only shows when it's actually affecting a photo. So it won't show if you have an empty canvas and then create a Curves, neither when it's at the bottom of the layer stack! If you'd like to check the histogram, you can always open the 'Histogram'-panel via View > Studio > Histogram. Hope this helps! 👊🏼🔥

@PowNyTales 3 жыл бұрын

@@IAMRENSI I am honored, you are answering :D thank you :) I checked on the layer, as you said. I think it was just my fault and last time as I made the comment, the layer was not checked on. That's why I could not see those "stocklines". Your advice helped in deed!

Hi Rens, am loving your tutorials! you are so good at making excellent videos!! So many thanks for being an amazing teacher. I watched this twice over to see if I missed a step. At timestamp 10:31, when you apply the recolour, the glow appears around the mushroom. For me, it is only colouring the actual mushroom top, I'm not getting the glow all around. Any clue what I'm doing wrong? would so very much appreciate your guidance! I loved your masterclass too btw!!

@mistermcee 27 күн бұрын

I have the same problem. I’m using Affinity Photo 2 on the iPad. I note that when I press CMD J on the mushroom selection Rensi has a white background to his selection but mine shows as a transparent background. It is still showing as a pixel layer but just with a transparent background. Could this be what is stopping the Gaussian Blur spreading to the rest of the image. Love the tutorials though as I’m still learning so much.

@mistermcee 27 күн бұрын

I think I’ve solved my issue. On the iPad you have to make sure the ‘live filters’ are toggled on. I thought mine were but they weren’t. I’m not advanced enough to know the difference between a ‘non-live’ Gaussian blur and a ‘live’ Gaussian blur, but only the live one gives the effect.

@Renaxelo 3 жыл бұрын

the final result is different, my "selection line" didn't disappear like your video, so it didn't glow . I keep repeating this tutorial and the result is not the same
