Henry Stahle got a reaction from justwilliam in BlueSketch
I have recorded my first macro "BlueSketch" (attached below). It is doing this: if you import a scanned sketch, graphite on paper like mine, it is sometimes hard to use the digital tools to trace it. It can be hard to see what is sketch and what is digital linework. The macro adds a new raster layer on top of the sketch, fills it with blue, turns the layer into Colour mode, and adds new empty top layer for your linework / inking. Just like the layer function in ClipStudio, where I use it all the time. Put the macro in the Library and the BlueSketch is instantly done. I hope it works for you the same way it does for me.

Henry Stahle got a reaction from Mediafuel in Bitmap painting
I am just a retired oldie and I do most of my pieces for the fun of it. But, I am in the app-making thing after retirement (2 years ago). Done one app so far called Gustaf, and I am in process of making more. Got illustrations done for 2 more. I am the Graphic Designer doing stills and animations. The programming stuff is done by my son (he is a professional app-maker and programmer) and he is also the sound designer. I am also freelance illustrating for an education publishing house. But most of the time I write my stories, illustrate them and I will publish some if I am lucky. Thank you for asking!
Kodiak and MEB, you make me happy writing such things! :D
@Paolo.Limoncelli. By the way, I use Affinity Photo for this piece and your brushes only! This painting is about the girl from Syracusa, Saint Lucia. We celebrate her here in Sweden on the 13 of December. She comes walking in the dark with lights in her hair and a red ribbon round her waist. She sings her songs about bringing light to the world together with her (also white dressed) maids. The mass is televised from my home town Varberg this year!

I am not much of a vector illustrator. Only bitmap, really. That is why I love DAUBs brushes. 110% right for me!
These are my very first illustrations done in AP using Daubs brushes. First one i painted in Grayscale at 300 dpi.
This second one is RGB at 300 dpi.
Hope you like what you see :)

Henry Stahle got a reaction from tro in I am so impressed..!
First of all: Affinity Photo is such a great piece of software. I really have learned to love it in a short time. So, I think I will stick to it from now on for two reasons: first is my photography hobby and my second is my illustration hobby / work. I can do same things in Affinity Photo as I have done in Photoshop and I like every part of it. I must say!
One other thing that I discovered yesterday was the truly excellent presentation of Affinity Photo and all the funktionalitets in the software on Vimeo. I mean, those videos are top quality pedagogic presentations of complex issues made easy (at least for me). The simple, clear, great voice over presentations in short or long enough videos are so easy to follow and I hear and understand every bit of it. I have great experience of the male voice over, it is really top quality in every respect; speed, phrasing, prononciation, pausing... I love it.
I have been teaching for 40 years and I have very critical eyes and ears on visual presentations. But your presentations are GOOD!
Thank You!

Henry Stahle got a reaction from Alfred in Starting to edit and filter in Affinity Photo
I am getting more and more fond of Affinity Photo for editing and filtering my photos. I am happy with the raw development tools, I use Camera Raw mostly the Affiniyy tools behaves the same in both raw models. In the editing / retouching / filtering part i also feel comfortable since Photoshop and Affinty behaves about the same. Layering adjustments and such...I am getting more and more grips of it. I want to get further into the filtering things to get the moods and expressions right in my photos... (just like I do in CameraBag Photo)...
This is my first editing / filtering / retouch all done in Affinity Photo.

Henry Stahle got a reaction from SrPx in Introduce Yourself
Hej!
My name is Henry Ståhle. I am from Varberg on the west coast of Sweden. I am retired from school since 2 years after 40 years as a teacher, a work I loved very much. I still miss all the kids I met every day in the studio.
Before teaching I was studying Commercial Arts but never ended up in that business, my interest in pedagogy was stronger, so I had a second education as teacher.
After my retirement I am getting back to my interest in Art, illuswtrative and communicative art, that is.
I am trying to get some illustration work, I do some freelance work for education books and some other stuff...I can do with some extra income...being a pensionist....
Most of my time I spend writing and illustrating Childrens Storybook apps. It is a complex job doing concepts, planning, stills and animations and such. I am Learning lots of new stuff and some new software (at my age!). Anime Studio, Spline, Clip Studio and now Affinity... in two years they are all new to me. Lots of fun and sweat, but I am slowly getting it...
I have used all Serif software for many years in my job and I am very pleased to go on using the Affinity suite. I am still testing and learning. Soon I will probably switch to Affinity Photo (and maybe Designer) for all my illustration job.
My programmer uses LUA and Corona and I have decided to cut down my software to just Affinity and Spine since they work well together with one another, but also in the programming / appmaking environment we use, Corona.
Thats all folks! See you around in this forum.
