Interesting, good effect, I hit web safe dither by mistake and saw the cool effect so thought I would look it up on youtube, its amazing what you can find, thanks.

Big thanks for the puzzle download Richard, saved me a pile of work trying to figure it out.

I like the video. Addresses something I'd been toying with. While I see how you apply the gradient to a shape, how though would it be applied to a selection? I don't seem to make that work.

Thanks!

This is soo much harder then i Lightroom :(

does pantone color swatches come by default?

Great idea. Thank you!

exactly what i was looking for! thanks for making this :)

thx

So glad I found this tutorial - so creative and really well explained - brilliant thank you!!! 😁

this is the easiest, down and dirty explanation i found. for some reason my brain would not grasp “passthrough.” you’re the Laura whisperer.

I like quarter-fold cards. I wanted to design larger ones, standard-sized cards but you can't beat quarter-fold for its simplicity in designing on the computer, printing out and folding. You don't even need to print them on heavyweight cardstock. TFS! Couldn't the bleed be set to make printer print to edges?

Thank you for doing this! I'm brand new to Affinity coming from Photoshop after 18 years, but sick of the changes, subscription fees and new policies. There are many use cases for compound masks, and it can be done in PS also. I don't know the official name, but I've heard people call it "masking the mask" where it's especially useful working with complex luminosity masks and compositing work. Similar things can be accomplished using clipping masks. The process is different, but the end result the same. This video was extremely helpful to me since I'm trying to find ways to replicate my workflow in PS. Thanks again for the help!

is it possible in ipad pro ?

Thanks! Indeed the ‘James Ritson method’ like I call it. I am still frustrated that I learned this only a couple of months ago, so excellent that you share this. it’s a huge difference. With colored backgrounds like your example. (In the past i recolored with HSL😂😂) but,worthwhile mentioning, even more amazing with difficult landscapes with trees, bushes and windmills (when replacing the Sky. By the way James offers an awesome set of different skies).

Awesome tips

Do you happen to have a video on window pulls specifically for real estate photography?

Interesting. Thank you. One question : is there a way to include a photo as you did inside the mesh warp without deforming it ?

Impresionante...¡Muchas gracias!, tienes un nuevo suscriptor.

thank you - well done

As a long time PHOTOSHOP user I'm glad for this tutorial. I just started using Affinity Photo and I was asking myself the same question about Smart Objects. Thanks.

Yeah that second method worked like a charm. I was actually trying to remove pink eye.

Thanks Rich. Why doesn't Affinity just default to this setting? Why all the extra steps and layers?

I like how the noise makes the threads look more realistic.

When rotating, you can hold the shift key down to rotate to any angle.

Watched this at least 30 times to finally understand them. I even added more layers! Thanks

Confusing tutorial

The video I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

I love these tips! But, I paint on watercolor paper, it's cream colored and has texture. What's the fastest way to remove that background without doing the background erase brush? Often it will remove my lighter painted colors as well. And doing this particular tip you are sharing it doesn't remove all my background, it leaves a hazy background with the texture left behind of the papers texture and its cream color. Thank you for so many tips!

I can’t get this to work in affinity designer. It seems you are working in affinity photo?

Thanks Richard. Excellent explanation of both tools. Thank you. However, is there any chance your logo could be smaller as I could not see how you selected the Gradient Map tool as it was hidden by the logo!!

Found this looking for something else, but it's great. Sure it will come in useful. Saved to library now.

wow this is amazing thank you - I learned so much - please make more! 👍😻

Wozers, learned a lot from this one. Thanks.

unfortunately i was not able to keep the card document. when i opened my own scanned art the card doc disappeared. i would appreciate info on how to keep the doc, to accept placing my scan or photo exactly where i want it.

i'm so pleased finally after searching for weeks to find this simple clear info to use Affinity Photo to print art cards... amazing as i have purchased a book (NO index, the complaint in all the reviews on Affinity Photo books) i've also searched tutorials. this is a great relief, NOT just for kids. Lots of artists print their own cards & need this very basic info.

Thank you for your tutorial. Your latest subscriber 🙏🏽

Hello Mr Spezzano. I was wondering if this can be done with affinity photo . I do dtf printing and would like to do bigger prints. The company is using adobe which I can’t afford kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opiTmdJk1by1mqM.htmlsi=jnk3G3zl4bh2S34L

I am so glad to have found your channel. I have been struggling to edit the background paper texture on my watercolor. I did what you did and BAM! Thank you. I'm definitely checking out your other tutorials. Thank you again and glad you are feeling better.

So... a compound mask is basically a "maskception", right ?

Super! Thanks a lot.

It doesn't work with Affinity Photo 2. All it does, is offset the image diagonally.

I wanted to learn this brilliant technique. Sorry, I tried again and again, I can not create the same result as you have. I can not separate the elements when doing it black and white.. This steps are much too fast to follow. It makes it really frustrating. I give up and try to find another teacher that explains it sloooow.

cool cool

Nice.

This can only be used on a shape and not a photo?

When I put the gradient tool on a photo I lose the photo.

Another great tutorial.

Thanks. I couldn't figure out why my masking wouldn't let me paint on them, 'protect alpha' ; which I could not find on my menus. Your video clued me in that my options were hidden off to the right on my toolbar because I am working on a vertical display.
