Hi, I would like to ask when you will be producing non-subtitled multilingual tutotials. I ask because ersonally with regret I immediately decided to give up trying to understand how to use Affinity Photo and Desiner, so I abandoned these two licenses purchased in 2019. I made this choice because to be able to read the subtitles, but above all to reflect on the translations and at the same time also look at the pointer to understand what is taught in the tutorial, on average I should reduce the scrolling speed of the video to 0.50 or 0.25. This change would make them very long and stressful to consult.

I am a B&W photographer. My RAW files end up a bit too dark and, consequently, lose detail. I am trying to learn how to use the radial gradient tool to lighten up areas. I would appreciate being pointed to a few good tutorials for beginners on this topic. I am not talking about using the Gradient Map. Thanks,

Hi All, I'm trying to learn Affinity Publisher via video tutorials. The challenge is that all the tutorial videos I've viewed online on YouTube on my laptop the features (words) are too tiny to see. So, you can't see the features you're supposed to be clicking on or selecting. I can hold down the Ctrl key and enlarge the screen but it doesn't enlarge the words on screen in the tutorial. Has anyone watched a YT tutorial where the features are easily readable? I've uploaded a screenshot of what appears on screen. Thank you.

Hallo Affinity Community, mit euch möchte ich meine Länderflaggen Pinsel teilen. Optimiert sind sie für's zeichnen bei 1% Abstand damit ein Streifeneffekt entsteht. Geeignet also für z.B. Texteffekte. Einige Flaggen waren durch ihr Design für runde Pinsel ungeeignet. Um sie dennoch hinzuzufügen habe ich sie umgestaltet, möglichst ohne ihren Wiedererkennungswert einzuschränken. War z.B. ein Emblem mittig und dadurch beim zeichnen schlicht unsichtbar, verschob ich es ein wenig über die Kante des Kreises/Pinsels. Manche Flaggen besitzen deshalb 2 Versionen. Die Pinsel sind in englisch übersetzt, auf 4 Kategorien verteilt und alphabetisch sortiert. Ohne englisch Kenntnisse wird man sich auch zurechtfinden da die Reihenfolge der deutschen sehr ähnlich ist. Enthalten sind 193 Stück + 59 Zweitversionen mit einer Größe von je 500 Pixel. Anleitung für 3D Effekt mit zusätzlichem feinen Linien wie auf dem Vorschaubild: 1. Beliebigen Flaggenpinsel wählen und auf die gewünschte Größe ändern, z.B. 60 Pixel bei 2K Auflösung. 2. Eine neue leere Ebene erstellen und 1x mit dem Pinsel darauf klicken/malen. 3. Live Filter "Rauschen hinzufügen" an die Ebene clippen und Wert auf ca. 25 erhöhen. 4. Belichtungsanpassung ebensfalls an die Ebene clippen und Wert auf ca. -2,5 stellen. An diese Anpassung (nicht Hauptebene) einen vertikalen bzw. je nach gewünschter Lichtrichtung schrägen schwarz/weiss Verlauf zeichnen, sodass der Pinselpunkt oben hell und unten dunkel wird. 5. Ebene duplizieren um die originale zu sichern und das Duplikat rastern. 6. Mit angeklickter Duplikatsebene über Pinselpanel "neuer Pinsel aus Auswahl" wählen. Den Pinsel bearbeiten und Abstand auf 1% reduzieren. Der Pinsel ist jetzt fertig vorbereitet. 7. Auf neuer oder zwei neuen Ebenen (z.B. bei übereinanderliegenden Strichen wie bei Buchstabe A oder H) zeichnen, z.B. einen Text. 8. Ebeneneffekte "3D" oder "Kanten schleifen-innen" mit einem runden Profil hinzufügen (bei zwei Ebenen auch jeweils einen Ebeneneffekt für sich (Effekt kann seit Affinity 1.9 verknüpft werden)). Bei einer gewählten Pinselgröße von 60 Pixel empfiehlt sich ein Wert von 25 - 30. Optional "weichzeichnen" hinzufügen. Nun nur noch das Licht an die bei Schritt 4 gewählte Richtung anpassen. 9. Falls zwei Ebenen verwendet wurden kann auf der unteren gegebenenfalls noch ein Schatten, der durch die obere entsteht, hinzugefügt werden. Das verstärkt den 3D Effekt noch mehr. Fertig Viel Spaß english Hello Affinity community, i want to share my country flags brushes with you. They are optimized for round brushes by painting with 1% space to create a streakeffect. Because of some flags are unsuitable i had to edit them. This packs contained 193 brushes + 59 with a second version, separated in 4 categories, translated into english and arranged in alphabetical order. All have a size of 500 pixel. Tutorial for a 3D effect with additional fine lines like on my wallpaper: 1. Choose a flag brush and set it to a size you like, for example 60 pixel on 2K resolution. 2. Create a new empty layer and paint 1x time on it. 3. Add "add noise" live filter and clip it on this layer. Set the value to around 25. 4. Add "exposure" adjustment and clip it also to this layer. Set the value to around -2,5 and add a vertical (or other light direction you like) black/white gradient on this adjustment layer. Your brush dot is now bright on top and below dark. 5. Duplicate the complete layer to save your original. Rasterize the duplicate. 6. With active duplicate go to brush panel and click on "create brush from selection". Edit this brush and set space to 1%. The brush is now ready to paint. 7. Paint on a new layer (or 2 if your lines cross each other like for letter A or H for a deeper 3D effect). 8. Add layer effect (If you have 2 layers use 2 layer effects. Since Affinity 1.9 it is possible to link them.) "3D" or "inner bevel". I recommend a value of 25 - 30 when you paint with 60 pixel. Optional smooth the effect a little. For a round 3D effect use a round profil. Now only adjust your light direction to a similar like on step 4. 9. If you use 2 layers you can add a shadow on the layer below to increase the 3D effect.
