    Great background star field and gas clouds! The big light-green one on the right is perfect! Thanks for sharing.

    Like the Jupiter-like spots in the swirleys. Interesting work, enjoyable!

    Really nice! Leaving the faded beach area was a great idea to keep the image "grounded!"

    Fun, both of them. That was a lot of work removing the people and post with signs and decor. Good practice, right?! The aging (or HDR-like?) treatment works well on that image and helps to disguise your inpainting/cloning. Only the repeat (blackish triangles) patterns in the bricks near the upper window give you away. The result, however, is really cool.

    Watching you cut out the image (Part 1 in AP) is a tip in itself! Then building the vector brush (Part 2 in AD) is also beautiful! Thanks for a great tutorial. I need to go back and watch it a couple more times to get the fine points in both parts. E.g, not sure how the red rectangle helped you in AP and, in AD, smoothing the path went by kind of fast - but I'll figure it out. @everyone: A title like How to PRECISELY Extract Part of a Photo and Use it to Make a Vector Brush, although lengthy, would be a great description of this tut!

    Yes, it became obvious after I read it in your post! Great tip! I love these little quickie tips that can save so much time over the clunky methods I usually pick.

    Ditto! What a scream! Good one, Carl.

    Dave shared this tip a couple of weeks ago: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/41825-how-to-fill-in-corners-after-rotating/&do=findComment&comment=227167 Scroll in that string to where you see Dave re-posted with a correction to the steps to take. BONUS: He even made a macro for the process and posted the link so you can download it.

    I've just finished reading your guide. At first I thought I would poke at it here and there for tidbits but the content sucked me in because the "why" really hit a nerve. I liked how you included examples of the wrong way to go about using a tool as part of the "why" discussions. Yes, I'm a poster child for all the wrong ways so you're cleaning up my act. Best, though, is that I know why to use a tool. Especially helpful to me was the Noise and Sharpening chapter. Now I can head into that part of the editing with confidence. Thanks! In trying to determine how I might best keep your 90 pages of guide "in front of me," I have decided to print the 5 Summary pages as a quick reference booklet. Then, if I need a refresher, I can bring the PDF up on the screen and revisit the detail. So the Summary pages have become, for me, an important part of your guide. Thanks for sharing your experience and I will be purchasing your completed book.

    Half way through your guide and really enjoying it and learning more about photos and AP. Really appreciated your tip about sticky notes for remembering keyboard shortcuts. What a simple and effective idea! The content dealing with highlights vs shadows and how the opposite problem occurs in film vs digital cameras was new for me. I didn't know about the opposite-ness and it explains some situations I just attributed to accidents in my photos. Okay, accidents might mean photographer error.

    Well, this does vary from your field of work in beautiful photos - gotta say. I would say you have a future in vectors, for sure! Nicely done. (I'm guessing your obscure humor is similar to my dry humor.)

    @toltec: Possibly Digbydo in OP meant at that magnification when asking "when I've then finished working on it I can print it out at that?" @Digbydo: Can you clarify if you mean you want to print at the zoom magnification? Or you just want to print the crop portion? Also, when you say, " File⇢ New From Clipboard but the only thing that appeared on screen was the checkered/ transparent layer." When you pressed CTL-C to copy, did you check to make sure the layer highlighted in the LAYERS pallet was the layer with the image?

    Your replaced zip file works good now and the missing image is received. Thanks!
  17. jer
    Makes a lot of sense. Nothing like experience and effort to perfect a work flow. Thanks for sharing your work!

    Just out of curiosity... what do you do? Use a fractal generation program, turn the good results into raster brushes you load into AP? Or maybe turn good fractal results into jpgs that you paste into AP and map/mask/blend onto your shapes? Hmm, now I'm out of ideas.

    Another great Vespa Poster. All smooth curves though except for the wheels? Ah, I got it: represents motion, right? Well, that's my interpretation anyway.
  20. jer
    Other worldly! Exquisite color palette! Not sure where the fractals contributed but the result has a sense of depth to it, which really benefits a spacescape. Really like the diagonals!

    I like the clouds better in 4; removing the perfume bottle effects allowed an improved sky, IMHO. Also enjoy the detail where the oar tip is slightly in a puddle. Much better lighting effects all around the castle too! All in all, a very pleasing and fun comp!

    Simon, a great guide and beautifully done. And an INDEX yet... Thanks for that. I had an unusual error msg on unzip of photos03 (Win 10) so I'm wondering if I missed a photo. Here is what I got: I tried several times and continued to get the same error msg so if anything is missing, I will re-download. Anyone else get an unzip error msg on photos03?

    Really like the textures and treatments in the water, waves, clouds and other. Recreating from another media is something I could add to my own inspiration list. Thanks for sharing a great piece of work.
  24. jer
    Dave, thanks for the clarification and macro!
  25. jer
    Done with mostly one layer: Threshold Adjustment Layer. And a couple of filler layers. Great job!
