Thanks again! I guess I will get used to it and it seems like a very convenient way to work. :)

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed! However, I wonder if this could've not been implemented more intuitive. For example in the eraser tool, normal click for erasing, alt-click for adding. But that's just my thoughts. It would've taken me a long time to find it out by myself. Is this the same in Photoshop?

Hi, I'm a newbie to Affinity, so please bear with me as this is probably a really dumb question.. When I have two layers and want to partially add some transparency to the top layer, so that it fades into the background layer, I can use the eraser tool. So far so good, but how can I get the opposite effect? I mean, adding opacity to my top layer. It must be so easy but I can't seem to find it! I have seen tutorials to paint an effect using the paintbrush, but when I use the paintbrush, I can only paint in the selected color. What do I overlook? Please help! I've attached an image of the edit to make my issue more clear. The elephant should have looked like it's just coming out of the mist. I've managed to finish it using the eraser tool really careful and undo when I erased too much.
