    Just a clarification, for the benefit of other members.   Topaz plug-ins do not work on the Apple Store version of Affinity Photo, only on the version purchased from Serif Store, something to do with sandbox restrictions on the App Store.

    Unfortunately, when we purchase at the Apple Store, there is no indication that the app has less capabilities than purchasing directly from Serif.  Cheers,

    Thanks, good to know!

  2. Pretty straightforward what Share your Work and Tutorials is for and about.

    Along with the idea that these are on a Forum, intended for Discussion. If simply asked of process to create, then can create a further interest alongside discussion in the subject.

    If one is merely wanting to showcase, then so be it... take it for what it is. If wanting further info... simply engage in discussion, rather than ‘Likes’ alone.

  3. Yet another reason for wishing my Affinity Collection could be complete, with Publisher finally coming to iPad. 😢

    I know Meatloaf says, “2 outta 3 ain’t bad”..... but still sad. Of course a Fine Model... always helps an App look good!✌️
    Also loving the Ink Design works of Gringo and Latos...the Colors are a bit too vibrant for me, but love Ricco’s Designs.... and who knew Chromatic Aberration.3D could work so well on Inks!

     

  4. Very nice... and now I am thirsty!

    Aside of things mentioned by Dannyg9...

    The condensation droplets on outside of glass, need a bit more differentiation or defining.. as they appear inside the glass with the liquid, bubbles, ice. Perhaps, just another type of Layer Blend or not as a Child Layer.

    On the Glass, perhaps a Duplicate of the Thin Sheen line used for opposite side (as is), maybe adding another as well ‘on the sunny side’..but with the same vibrancy in Tone as the Large Sheen on back of glass.

    Maybe a Contour Gradient Outline of Main Text, using Color chosen and lighter White Tint...can add a similarity to the Droplets and such, Compositionally.

    Just little things, but like it.

  5. Really well done! Clean design, nice composition ...and like the subtly added flair, rather than overly dramatic. Allows it to impact on it own.

    ‘Kinda agree with Mark Freeman... more so in just way the Outline of the Font ‘Umsec’ is, in regards to placement with the ‘Shield’. On the ending ‘C’, is a noticeable difference how it aligns on top of the shield..as opposed to the beginning ‘U’. Know, it’s a simple, obvious difference of the letter’s shapes... but some thickening, or more prominence of the ‘Umsec’ might help (just the actual Letters, not outline- as outline should just follow suit). Also add a slight bit of prominence in size differentiation in both ‘Umsec’ and ‘Ums Esport......’.

    Not necessary, but if were me... I’d also do some kind of diagonal, angled-lined motion blurs of sorts on the Background image. Not as an overall...but with separation between. To give more of a narrative type special effect impact, referencing the Esports... or sense of motion, action type of activity or involvement.

  6. Yes, if wanting Live over Destructive... have to select.

    You’ll see similar setup for Desktop even.... on Desktop version, there are basically 2 Dropdown Menus on their Toolbar for Filters- Regular (Destructive) and Live. (Can see in most Video Tutorials made).

    So not really a ‘fixed setting’... as depends on situation.

    Advantages ...really boils down to individual situation, or personal preference. Sometimes may just need a ‘quick application’, and not intending to Edit/Re-Edit later on.

    Many have just not been Developed yet, possibly.... such as Liquify- which just got the Live Filter capability in the 1.9 Update (not available Live prior).
    Yet some are just not possible... though a simple Undo, to revert back out of any Filter Adjustments made..means only damaging permanently if left to exist. 

    Is really up to you, and your workflow... or if needed a version, but keep Original intact as is (Archiving?).

  7. That is an Older Video Tutorial for iPad, when it was first released.

    In the current Affinity Photo for iPad version ...the ‘thunderbolt’ was removed from the individual Filter Display Panels.

    It is now a matter of selecting Live Filters, as an optional Toggle Button near the top of the Filters Panel, when opening to select a Filter.

    What you should/will also notice when ‘toggling’ the Live Filter option On or Off... is that not all Filters are capable of being Live.
    The choices between Live and Regular(Destructive) changes when toggled. 
    Is a better way of differentiating beforehand... what is possible as a Live Filter, and what is not.

    So you don’t find yourself in the middle of using one...go through all the trouble, only to find out after the fact, or will be only possible Destructively- need to resort to another method.

    Also, there is an option for changing the Panel View, by selecting the ‘3 Bar icon near top right.... to display a List View (for easier search use).

  8. Here is a learning/tutorial I created for Understanding Pattern Layer and Pixel Quality, and using Photos. Made using Affinity Photo on iPad Pro (mainly for iPad users- but concepts apply to any version). Is merely a BASIC relay of information and steps....know there are more advanced aspects, but mainly for beginners or even advanced users to better get a gist of what’s going on, and how to get better results. Primarily focuses on the use of Hi Res Photo Images, and how to use them for some amazing results making use of the Pattern Layer feature.

    ‘Again, know it is basic....but hopefully can help! 

    Video is available on my YouTube Channel, with many others https://www.youtube.com/user/StudioJason69

     

  9. Much better, as to the atmospheric quality and spatial relationships...though I wouldn’t completely forego the nice ‘Blues’ that were in the original. 
    Perhaps some ‘fade outs’ of the overall Yellow Tone...such as with a Gradient- clear/none top, to reveal Bluish sky...then into the Yellowish, at bottom.

    Or, by way of Mask- to hide/reveal by Brush, subtly. Not so..complete coverage.
    Looking good though Figure-wise...as light source seems better matching.
