Thank you for any assistance!  LONG LIVE AFFINITY!

Thank you very much for those brushes! Much more simple than what I was trying to do. LOL

[Lighten skin color]

Here's 2 ways that I did (rough job) just now:

First, make a rough selection of the hands and Duplicate to a new layer. Use the HSL tool to isolate the skin color. Then, I increased saturation a bit and increased luminosity a bit as well.

Second, I did a selection (followed by a refine selection and a minimal feather) to choose the hands, duplicated to a new layer, and set that layer's blend mode to Screen. Opacity down to 40% in this case.

Thank you so much!

How would I replicate the light beam in the JPEG with my afphoto project?

Thank you for the help!

[Lighten skin color]

I want to change the color/tone of this man's skin to a lighter shade without making it seem unnatural.  How would I do that?

Hi, thank you for getting back so fast. I'm still new to Affinity but I'm learning a lot! To what would I be adding the mask to?

I hope I was clear in what I was wanting to do. I've added my .afphoto file of what I'm working on.

[Hollowing out text from a picture]

I am trying to remove the background from a picture in the form of a letter number (see the "e" in the attached photo) but I don't know how to do it aside from taking the "erase brush tool" and outlining the letter by hand. Is there an easier way? If so, please help!! I am using Affinity Photo 1.7.1

Thank you in advance!

[Problems with color matching]

The colors are not matching on my file. If I color match, it give a lighter shad than what it should be. The same thing happend if i import a picture into my project.
I do not have any effects or layers over the document or piucture.

Attached is a screenshot of the shadd of brown (on the right) that im trying to color match with the resulting color on the left.

I am running on a iMac and my Affinity Photo Version is 1.6.7

Thank yoiu for any help in the matter.
