Thanks for supplying the extra info’.
In this case I would probably do as Wosven suggests by clipping a grey rectangle (maybe with some transparency to let the pink through a bit) inside the text layer as it will be easier to adjust than using a gradient, but that’s just my personal preference in this specific instance.
I’ve attached a short video showing the process.

That seems like the easiest method, thanks! Won't be exactly the same but will have a similar feel once I get the colors in.

The word “CURRENTLY" is a different font.

I agree with wosvens technique. Font size 105pt or 105.5pt and Track the word “OFFLINE" @17%

Yes, but I'm not using the "Currently" bit. It'll be for the thumbnail's subheading and a small "Kenson Plays" in the corner of the thumbnail.

Thank you again for your responses. Haven't really used Affinity all that much.

We don’t know what the font is so we can’t see what it looks like without the “font styling” that you mention.
Would you be able to give more specific information about exactly what you would like to do?

Oops, sorry! The font is called BD Jurassic Black.

Just in case, I think that original font is a variant of the Lithos family. It's Lithos Pro Black, slightly stretched.

It doesn't seems to have any style applied but a gradient with the top half light pink and the top bottom half grey. You can do this with a gradient or clipping a grey rectangle inside your light pink line of text, and add a shadow.

I'll see what I can do after I wake up, thanks.

I had an artist create a bunch of art for my Twitch channel, but I want to create a YouTube thumbnail template with the same font style. Is there a way to replicate this in Affinity Photo? (They used Photoshop, and I only have the PSD for panel images, not this particular image). I have the font installed, I can do the shadow bit, but the rest of the font styling I'm confused on.

Maybe can't tell since I don't know how that it is setup and looks in PS there. You have to try out and see if it leaves layers in a way you can then afterwards perform an emulation like this in APh ...

• Clipping mask on group

I'll look into it later tonight. Thanks! (Getting hungry. )

For the PSD file in APh no I don't think so, see also related:

• Clipping masks on groups?

But if you still have PS running or a trial version of that, you can remove those group clippings and leave them as plain layers in that PSD file. Then when importing into APh you can readjust emulate again the clipping effect.

Or you add and draw on the left image some curves which do emulate what the right image shows, sort of an inner frame outline and shadow. - Something like this here (just a quick'n'dirty one) ...

Unfortunately I don't have PS installed at all. I guess I could try that. But would changing the clippings to plain layers mess with how it looks?

[Error Opening Photoshop CC File]

I hired out a graphic designer back in 2016 for my livestream channel, and had a license for Photoshop then, but I currently cannot afford the price they're asking for even just the Photography plan. I tried opening the file in Affinity, and I get the following error:

 

 

The left image is the way Affinity is rendering it. The right is the proper rendering I want, from Photoshop CC 2016, from what my gfx designer has told me. (Currently has way too many projects/clients and has no idea when he'll have any time to fix, could be months, swamped with lots of work)

 

Is it possible to render the psd in the format where it'll show up like the right side image, not the left? Been stuck trying to figure this out for weeks now.

 

I am running Affinity Photo 1.6.5.135.

Hi KensonPlays,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Both can use the software but only one can use it for commercial purposes. You can also install it in more than one PC (again assuming that only you is using it for production/commercial work).
Here's the relevant part from our EULA:

The License granted to you is limited, non-transferable and non-exclusive. Except to the extent any rights cannot be excluded by law, you are permitted:

1. if you are a private individual, to download, install, use and run for personal use, one (1) copy of the Serif Software directly on each computer running Microsoft Windows (“Windows Computer”) that you personally own or control. Commercial use is permitted but only use by you and not by any other users of any Windows Computers that you own or control. For example, other members of your household that use your Windows Computers may make personal use of the Serif Software whereas, if anyone other than yourself needs to make commercial use of the Serif Software, the other user will need to make a separate purchase.

I don't monetize my videos, and don't have a tip-jar. Would it still be considered commercial if the videos I make are a hobby?

 

Say my father purchased it as a business expense for himself, and I just used it for my video hobby?

[Usage On Multiple PCs in same home?]

I have a quick question before considering a purchase. We use the iPad app via family share, and I was wondering if my father and I could both use a Windows license? We probably wouldn't be using it at the same time, and he would rarely be using it, compared to myself.

 

Could we install it on both PCs? More likely than not, only one instance at a time.
