Thadeutz, excuse me, I would like to ask one more question. How do you create 'your-artwork' (eingebetets Dokument) in Designer?

Quite often I do some previsualizing using mockups created with symbols in AF Designer.

In my stair issue I tried to put the white rectangle in 'my-artwork'  (symbols) made in AF Designer and when I duplicate it, it duplicates the same art, obviously?!

In your case it changes the color etc. What did I do wrong?

 

Thanks a lot.

Thadeutz,

thank you very much too!!! I will definetly give it a try too! It looks so easy, but Im struggeling around! Well, learning by doing!

Btw, actually you dont have to be sorry for the german UI, quite the contrary I am glad about, because mine is german too. Somit kann ich die einzelnen Schritte besser nachvollziehen.

 

Vielen tausend Dank für die Bemühungen, mir zu helfen.

Hello GarryP,

 

thank you very much! Wow, that looks great!! I tried it out, but still dont get the mask step done! I will have to keep on trying.

Another thing I noticed is when it comes up to letters (like in the third image). I used your document, the letters also stay in perspective, but they shouldnt or should they?

In the third image they kind of 'go with the stairs' vertically. What do I miss?

 

Thank you.

Hello thadeusz,

yes you are totally right, I meant previsualizing and it wont be printed at all.

Well, I really do apologize, but my knowledge in Affinity is close to zero. I would need a step-by-step-instruction in order to understand what you mean (also partly because I am not a native speaker). I know that this is too much asked so pls dont get me wrong therefore. I accept and respect, if you dont have time or muse to do so.

I dont know how to - place a mask, refine mask and position and how can I change my artwork in the placed Affinity file?

Once again, please excuse me for maybe asking the obviuos.

Thanks in advanced.

[I need help please on how to brand eg. stairs]

Hello everybody,

I would like to brand stairs with different graphics, eg. like here:

 

I tried already with the mesh warp tool, as I asked similar topic some time ago here in the forum, but no way to achieve this at all. Even more the stairs are not covered completely, but only the parts where you do not step on.

On the other hand there may seem to be kind of mockup like here:

 

 

Is anybody having an idea to please help me out? I would be happy about any little hint or help to achieve this.

 

Millions of thanks in advanced!!

 

Regards

Kruna

In my example it is supposed to be over the glass respectively except the part which is 'cut out'. In your example it is not supposed to be over the glass, right? As the glass part is 'cut out' completely.

Sorry for the overly complex, but Iam still at the beginning and learning Affinity I dont know how to do better.🤓

Hi telemax,

here is my new bus, but it is too dark and the design is all just blasck and white, even though I used the same settings and I am sure I did something wrong.

 

Hi firstdefence,

ty for helping too. How does it work using a clipping mask? I tried to accomplish this way too, but of course mine looks different too.

 

Thank you guys!!

Hello telemax,

Well the second tutorial is awesome!! Unfortunately I dont have any clue how I could apply this on my bus!🤪 He explained very well what he did, but not how, at least for me as a completely beginner (also PS) I dindt understand much of it. Anyway I liked it a lot to while watching, great piece of artwork! Ty

 

Back to my bus, 

Quote

You can try to extract reflections from the glass, and place them above the red element.

I wouldnt know how to do that. Please excuse me for maybe asking the obvious! I feel so dumb as you provided already a bunch of explanations and examples. I should be able to handle it. So I will keep on trying untill I get it done.

Thanks again so much for all your time and help!

[Smart objects and mockups like in Adobe CC]

ok, but (please apologize if I keep asking) the two window parts are not white as they should be.

It doesnt look as realistic as in back of the bus from the other foto (Iam still stunning!!!).

I keep trying and trying, but somehow I dont achieve it due to lack of knowledge. Also I cant find any aproach to resolve my issue. I dont know where to search for and look at.

How did you learn it? Was there any tutorial or else?

I took the layer groups 'refelctions, shadows/details and lightness from the first bus and copy/pasted them into this one. Trying to adjust to make it look realistic as it is there, but no way to get it done.

 

 

 

[Smart objects and mockups like in Adobe CC]

ok, NOW I understand, thank you so much!!!! Or better asked (just to be sure) the same way as I add grey background, the same way I need to add lets say shadows and lights and reflections, right?

[Smart objects and mockups like in Adobe CC]

Hi telemax,

its me again and again with some help needed, please. With your help I am pretty fit with mockups the way you showed me with symbols. Its pretty awesome and helped me a lot to save a lot of time working with this kind of mockup.

Now I face another challenge. I simply dont get the shadows, light and reflections done. I used the same (at least I tried) as you showed in the other bus sample, by copying and pasting, then trying to adjust here and there a little bit, but no way I get anything showed up! What do I do wrong? What am I missing?

Here is the example file and it would be great, if you could take a look at it and I hope it is not too much asked, if you could explain, where I do have to keep an eye on or what do I need to consider.

As always I was looking for some tutorials and googleing around, but cant find any apropriate solution.

 

Tahnks a lot in advanced!!

Ah, ok. Sorry, then I misunderstood. But thank you very much once again for the video. It is really very helpful.

[How to Change Black Color Object to Any Color in AF]

Wow, thank you!! Thats great help! I will practice on that.

Excuse me, if I ask you, but would you mind to show the better way? I dont know if its asked too much as I have no idea concerning time and effort, so I wouldnt like to overstrain.

[How to Change Black Color Object to Any Color in AF]

Well I found a lot of tutorials, but not how to change from black (as black actually isnt a colour) to color objects.

[How to Change Black Color Object to Any Color in AF]

OMG and holy Sh...its not your fault at all, sorry, but I really have a heavy arachnophobia!! In all honor to Boris, but I cant look at your file any second longer, pls excuse me!

Anyway somehow it doesnt work. I have an image and I need to select an object, which is grey/black and I need to change in color. In Photoshop according to the tutorial it works great and when I open the file in AF it works great too. But I cant accomplish 'almost' the same procedure in AF. I am missing the colour range where I can pick the grey/black colors from the iPhone, so that it can be colored.

[How to Change Black Color Object to Any Color in AF]

Hello Bruce,

thanks a lot for you answer. Unfortunatly my skills are very low. I just started in AF as I want to move completely from PS to AF. Even there my skills are very limited. I dont know where to find the recolor adjustment layer and I have no clue about alpha channel. Is there maybe a tutorial in AF I could watch?

[How to Change Black Color Object to Any Color in AF]

Hi,

I would like to know if there is an equivalent in AF? I really do apologize once again fo linking PS tutorials here, but in some cases I cant explain better what I mean?

Thanks a lot in advanced.

[Vanishing Points like in PS]

HI Garry,

thank you very much for the hint. Well I tried the mesh warp tool, but it was not quite easy for me. OK, I have to admit I was not that careful either and it was just teh first try to see how to handle the tool. Trying a second time, I struggled to find the right perspective. Are there any perspective guides I can use? In your example it looks so perfect and real. Your perspective is well positioned and every step of the staircase is so straight and precisely like you have used a ruler. Mine however, looks awful (sure that I can do better). What did I miss?

Once I have applied the tool. Is there a way to edit the layer? Lets say I would like to make some changes.

 

[Vanishing Points like in PS]

Hi, thanks a lot for  the link. I took a look and please excuse me, but I dont know how to apply lets say eg a mosaic image on the stairs from the photo. I am pretty new to AF and my skills in PS are very limited too.

[Vanishing Points like in PS]

Hello,

Is there a feature in Affinity like Vanishing Points in PS, so I can choose also kind of vertical points, like in this image in order to insert graphics?

Or is there anything similar to achieve? I couldnt really find helpful tutorials.

Thanks in advanced,

Kruna

 

 

[Smart objects and mockups like in Adobe CC]

I GOT IT!!!! Incredible, cant believe it!!! Oh my gosh, this was tough nut to crack!!!

Again endless times THANK YOU for all the help!!!!

And now the next nut is waiting to be cracked, but I will write a new post on that next week. Its about coloring objects.

First I will practice this mockup.

[Smart objects and mockups like in Adobe CC]

Hi telemax,

ok, thats cool that there is no additional mask needed, we are getting closer, TY.

So I took your file 'Perspective_Car_2' and inserted the orange design in the cut layer, but it looks kind of weired. 

What did I do wrong again?

 

 

 

 

[Smart objects and mockups like in Adobe CC]

Hi telemax,

this looks really awesome!!!! I cant believe this is possible to do. I wish I could acompish that too, but I am even not close to understand! I need to take a closer look at all your files and videos to try it out.

I really do appreciate all your help and all your patience taking so much time. THANK YOU!!! This is very kind of you!

Now I have problems with the mask layer😨

I start in AF Designer in order to make a symbol, then I switch to AF Photo. I kind of duplicate the layers in order to be able to make changes, like you showed me at the beginning and it works perfectly. Really thank you so much for that, that at least this 'problem' is understood even by me.

Then I continue to use the pen tool and draw around the bus ( I get a 'curve layer') and when I click on the mask its in the curve layer but nothing happens. I dont know what I am doing wrong.

I watched a bunch of tutorials, but none showed the way I need. Or I am too dumb to look for the right tutorial.

[Smart objects and mockups like in Adobe CC]

Hi telemax,

Please apologize, I wouldnt like to be a pain in the neck, but I simply dont get it. I am trying with symbol version over and over again without success. I did everything like in symbol version, so far so good.

Then I cut out the bus. Do I actually need a mask layer? I mean can I simply drag the symbol image within the cutted bus? Well I tried out and suddenly there is a part of the image missing. On the other hand I tried to add lights and shadows, but it seems that nothing happens.

Then I placed a mask in symbol image but then als nothing happens. I placed the mask almost everywhere, same thing. Watching some tutorials didnt get me any further, I just got stucked. 😫

 

Here is my file (I didnt cut out the bus properly on purpose, so once I know how to manage everything, I will do better). What do I miss?
