Can you give some more text info on the proces of making an normal map with Affinity Photo? I get a bit lost on the step where the original image disseapears and on the load bump map step automaticaly is loaded again? Maybe i miss a hotkey that i am unaware of as i am new to Affintiy Photo. As a workaround i just loaded the orignal image in the on load bump map step. Can i just export the endresult to get an useable normal map texture or do i need to combine some layers first? I also saw your normal map painting post: very nice. How would i go about to paint over this generated normal map? Do i need to add another layer? And thanks for making this possible in the first place. But i am in need of some more explanation to be able to use it to its full potential.

Can you give some more info on the painting proces. I am a newby to Affintiy Photo so some basics are lost to me in your demonstration video's. a) how to you do the inverse paint? All i am able to to do is make dents in your video you also seem to be able to fille them in again. b) in your 2nd video you are saying you are fixin a small problem can you explain a bit more what your fixing there and why you seem to do an import and export step? c) in order to use the normal map in a 3d application what steps do i need to take? d) can i also use the normal map in affinitiy photo to give dept to another flat image? Thanks for making this possible with affinity photo in the first place. I would have thought it would be impossible.
