Doesn't the power duplicate feature make "extruding" shapes relatively easy?

Nice, especially like what you did with the river, not sure about the branches from the tree on the far left though, they just distract me from the main picture for a few seconds

"We are the best architecure consultant in town" When you have a statement like that on your website you are going to want to check the spelling very carefully. Otherwise it's fine but nothing I have not seen before. To stand out in web design these days you need to develop your own style or else you are just going to be another person that can create a website amongst a hundred others trying to compete for the same job.

This is one way.... Select > Deselect Resize the clouds to cover the image where you want them Select > Reselect Select > Invert Pixel Selection Hit the delete key ( or Edit > Cut ) I am assuming your clouds layer is a Raster Layer and not an Image layer (it it's an image layer you will need to rasterise it first)

After you copy the subject to a new layer you can temporarily switch of that new layer so you are working on the background layer On the background layer clear any active selection you may have then use the Inpainting tool around the edges of the selection you just cut out, this should effectively bleed the background into the selection area a little bit which will help when you finally blur the background layer as it prevents the original subject from giving a halo type effect around your unblurred (sic) subject matter. Not always necessary but useful if you see the effect I am trying to describe As regards the attributes for the Inpainting brush it's hard to say without seeing the image and what you are trying to do but start with everything set to 100% and an appropriate brush size

A = Alpha = "transparency" of the area under the cursor

"Love is all you need" Is the answer But was this solvable using just Affinity Photo? I found the answer another way

The Perspective Tool would be a quick way to do this. Just File > Place the game image onto the theatre image, resize it approximately to the size of the screen, then use the Perspective Tool to move the corners of the game image onto the screen, add beer, popcorn and a few mates and the job's done

Sometimes clients pay to have specific photographs done to enhance their business Consider a restaurant that has a specialist food photographer come in and photograph their plates of food. The last thing the restaurant wants is a copyright notice on all the images of their food distracting the viewer from the food itself. But they also don't want other restaurants copying their images and using them to promote their own business. In these cases we would recommend to the client to use a hidden watermark which is enough to be able to get the other business to stop using your photographs or to sue them if you wanted to.

So it does But nothing a little jiggery pokery can't resolve It even scales perfectly using the extended bottom right node (or whatever it is we call that now)

You can set the background colour of Frame Text in the Character panel

The attached screenshot shows how we reveal the image which is surprisingly simple, just using a levels adjustment with a very high Black Level setting and increasing the Gamma a bit for more clarity. ( The Black and White adjustment is not really needed, it is just there to show the image in Black and White) But how to reveal the hidden image is only half the mystery, part of the wizardry is how to create such an image in the first place and that relies on the fact that the hidden image is still there but something the human eye cannot see but your PC/Mac can. Try it. We use a similar (but different) technique to add invisible watermarks to our clients' images which is why I was interested in how many of you could decode the image and how you did it. Humans may be top of the animal kingdom but include the machine world and we are now in second place and the machines will continue to outpace us at a rate we will never catch up to. So be nice to your kettle this morning because in a few years time it could be instructing your laptop to upload naked pictures of you to the Internet if you abuse it.

Because @Sima's screenshot of the AP program does not contain what is in mine. Plus his reveal of the image is vastly different to what I have seen before. There is definitely a different technique at work there. I'll reveal our way at about 11am UK time, because I am actually quite interested in how many people can decode the image for another reason, which I'll explain later as well. PS From the solutions posted so far Madame's solution would appear to be the one that looks like it is using the same technique we use but any solution is viable if it can reveal the image.

@Sima Nice work revealing the image - not sure what technique you used as your AP application screenshot does not give many clues But there is another way, which I will reveal tomorrow morning if no one discovers it just in case others are still working on this

Painting over something is not always an effective way of destroying an image The attached famous person would appear unrecognisable but it's quite easy to reveal who they are if you know what to do. Try it.

1) Select subject using brush 2) Refine selection 3) Copy subject to new layer 4) Select original layer 5) Apply Gaussian blur Note in some case it can help to Inpaint out the edges of the original subject after step 4 and before doing step 5

Me neither. You have to delete the logo from the design you want to use, which will leave the transparent area in which your own logo will show through

The Internet. Attached is the ripped file you can play with (the centre will be transparent when you download it)

Like Alfred said just add another layer that contains the ripped design and a transparent background and place it on top your logo (colour as required)

It's the wall. Here is a picture of a man in the same uniform showing how the "hole" is created. (The tight belt creates the "hole") Also look at the shadow from his hand, it only extends down onto his uniform. If the "hole" was part of his uniform the shadow would extend onto part of it also

It's not the same material, the texture is different It is part of the wall behind the man

To move a layer with a macro do not try to drag the layer in the layers panel Just record selecting the layer then from the menus use Arrange > Move back One

@GabrielM This is one image that would benefit greatly by supplying the original source image as I do not think people realise just what magic you have done here and I suspect you are not long for the World of Affinity and Nottingham. There are several pensioners out there with their black and white photo albums that need your skills in recreating their technicolor memories of the way things were back then. Go forth and colourise, your talents are wasted here

Assign the shortcut ALT+X as advised above Then set a spare mouse or pen button to replay the same keystrokes Which will give you a "one click" solution Works just fine on my pen

Windows Photo Viewer shows the png file with black lines/artefacts but no other photo viewing program I use does It looks fine to me I think the document is just too big for Windows Photo Viewer to render correctly
