Hello! This is my first time posting and using the software. I have been using the alternative for many years and decided to give this a try. I found it challenging at times, but also in love with it too. I will look forward to creating more art in the future. 

Excuse my fascination with Hawaii but this was my first trip there.  Again this was taken with an iPhone 13. Minor levels adjustment and clarity.
 
 

Frequency Separation is a useful concept for touching up photos. But there are some foundational concepts that should be understood to make the most out of this technique. In this video, I’ll cover these concepts from the ground up.

Very helpful! Thanks.

Affinity Designer has lots of options for warping vectors and text. But can you actually warp images? Today I’ll show you how to use this easy-to-miss feature.
 

There’s no need to ‘faff around’ with brushes and/or macros to get a simple re-usable watermark.
You can create one quickly with a Rectangle, some Artistic Text, Photo’s Pattern Layer functionality and Assets.
See attached video for a quick run-through.
Note: I feel sure that this isn’t the first time this technique has been posted but no-one else in this thread has posted any links to the tutorials they mentioned/used, or given a run-down of what they did, which makes it difficult for anyone reading this thread to know what the possibilities are.

Compound Masks give you much more power and flexibility when combining masks. Today we’ll look at how to use the Compound Mask feature in Affinity Photo, along with ways to combine them with adjustment layers.
 

Hi everyone,
I recorded this tutorial on how to create a vertical skyline text effect in Affinity Photo. I hope you guys find it interesting.
 

Loading Photoshop brushes into Affinity is pretty simple. But sometimes brushes have cool effects that require some extra steps. In this video, we’ll look at loading a simple Photoshop brush and a more complex brush into Affinity Photo
 

Loading Procreate brushes into Affinity takes a few steps, but it is possible. In this video, we’ll look at how to load 2 types of brushes (Stamp Brushes, Texture Brushes) and also review some Dynamics settings to make them look even better.
PS: If anyone from Serif (or should I say Canva?) is reading, it would be a cool feature if Procreate brushes could be loaded as easily as Photoshop brushes. It seems like it would be a relatively easy feature to implement.
 
 

Yeah, I’ve not a good feeling about it. 
 
That reads to me as, from v3 it’ll be different. 
 
I really really hope we don’t get any Canva crap to deal with and subscription stays away. I’m not that loyal. 
 
 

We’ve all been around the block and saw what happened to PaintShopPro when Corel acquired it (and how it turned into a bloated horrible mess). I feel sad that the Affinity apps will head in the same direction. Really is a sad day. 

Hi everyone,
I recorded this quick tutorial on how to create a watercolor portrait in Affinity Photo, using a median blur live filter, an empty mask, and watercolor brushes. I hope you guys find it interesting.
 

Hi everyone,
I recorded this quick tutorial on how to create a sepia tone in Affinity Photo. I hope you guys find it interesting.
 

Live Filters in Affinity Photo can be used to fix your images or even to make new creative effects. How do they work? In this video, we’ll check them out.
 

Hello designers, In this video i start from scratch using a pencil and pen, then take a photo of it and import it into affinity designer so we can make a vector version. You will learn how to trace an image with the pen tool and then create a background from all of the outlines and much much more.

Blend Modes are a critical concept in many graphics and video programs. In this crash course video, we’ll look at how they work in the Affinity suite. 
 

Hi,
In this Affinity Photo Tutorial I show a typical situation:
The photo of the sunrise or sunset has become disappointing compared to reality.
Simple techniques are shown here on how to bring back colors and dynamics.
The Video-Tutorial has english subtitles. (You can activate english subtitles with the gear icon in the YouTube window.)
 
I wish you fun.
Your Affinity Jack
 
 

Thanks so much for the suggestion 😊. The client has already accepted it.

Resizing, rotating, shearing…these are the core functions in any graphics program. But are you using these features to their full potential? Today we’ll look at the transform options in Affinity Designer, including working with origin points and transforming multiple objects at once. 
 

I recorded this quick tutorial on how to create an inner shadow text effect in Affinity Photo using layer effects. I hope you guys find it interesting.
 
 

The Frame Text Tool in Affinity products is great for large amounts of text such as paragraphs. This video is relevant for Affinity Designer, Publisher, and Photo. However, Publisher has a few extra special features that we’ll cover. 
 

The Artistic Text Tool in Affinity products is great for short amounts of text such as titles, headlines, and logos. This video is applicable to Affinity Designer, Affinity Publisher, and Affinity Photo.
