Thanks to @Bri-Toon, I’ve learned that on these forums we can manually add ‘spoiler’ markup to make some of our post content initially hidden. Here is an example. Just enclose the content in {spoiler} and {/spoiler} tags, but use square brackets instead of curly braces.

LilleG Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I like Alfred's suggestion. More information would be good, especially for new users, but adding descriptions and keywords makes it rather cluttered and as manu schwendener said, simply too overwhelming.

manu schwendener Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 > spoiler tags Good to know :-) But the text is always "Reveal hidden contents". And if you have more than one they are too far apart. Maybe use the option to post html code? manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manu schwendener Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 If you (as forum admins) can insert a post after post1 this would be a possible solution, too: Post 1 stays as it was, titles only, grouped as it is. This is the perfect overview for the videos. Post 2 = expanded version. Post 1 and Post 2 would link to each other, in the sense of "expand all" / "collapse all" - best at the top and the bottom of both posts. manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modellingnige Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Have just started out with Affinity Photo (after about 25 years using Adobe Photoshop) and these videos are brilliant! Well done Affinity! Can't wait for Publisher to come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bande135 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 hey. i've just got a question about something and i haven't seen any tutorials online about it yet and i have seen it in one of your affinity photo advertisements where with a car you use some sort of tool and it make it look like the tire is actually spinning. i would greatly appreciate knowing how this is able to be done. thanks. -Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDP Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 These video tutorials are a really great support for those of us getting started with Affinity. Thanks. One question: is there a way of downloading batches of them in one go for future reference? At present I'm downloading them one at a time...

krbo Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I always download these fine tutorials from Vimeo for an easier later usage. Usually in a 1080p resolution and have a question: why there are very often two files of the same resolution but different sizes?? (usually on higher resolutions 1080,2K) For example latest "Uplift Epic skies" in 1080p have two files: one 112,393Mb and other 103,971Mb Which one to use?

Ottoteller Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 These are truly amazing. The narration is articulate and cuts straight to the heart of the matter. The blow-ups of drop down menus and selections eliminate doubt. The tuts are so well done that they sold me on Affinity Photo, which I have purchased with no subsequent regrets. I have enjoyed using them to master each feature. In the words of a great English poet, you have managed to both teach and delight.

Staff James Ritson Posted November 24, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hey all, I've slowly been posting new videos over the last week, so here are three new ones for you! Using Adjustment Layers on Masks - YouTube / Vimeo HSL Tonal Separation - YouTube / Vimeo Nighttime Architecture Workflow - YouTube / Vimeo The Nighttime Architecture video is a standout; it's a 17 minute complete walkthrough of an image edit from start to finish - I took the photo during a recent trip to Bern, Switzerland and got a few interesting shots, but this one came to life with a bit of editing and careful treatment of colour. Let me know if you find these workflow-focused videos useful!

LenC Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 On Quick Inpainting Crooked Horizons, this is useful but refers to tilted horizons. I have some truly crooked horizons from wobbly iPhone pans, and if there is a solution for those that doesn't involve hours of nudging I would be interested. On Using Adjustment Layers on Masks, I'll save this for when I understand more, but for right now, what do you mean by 'to matte' in this context? ('Brush over the hair to matte it," 'hair is a little thin from the matting.') Not a paperboard border, not a non-specular surface, ... ? @James Ritson AP 1.7.3, MacOS 10.14.6 (usually latest of each, but not going to Catalina until more issues are resolved) Mac Mini, Late 2012, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB; HD replaced with SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff James Ritson Posted November 29, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 29, 2017 Thanks for all the feedback so far, in response to the architecture workflow video posted above I've produced a portrait retouching workflow video which you can see here: Portrait Retouching Workflow - YouTube / Vimeo It's 25 minutes long and covers a variety of techniques including: Initial RAW development Working in a wider colour space Frequency Separation Retouching tools including Blemish Removal, Patch Tool, Healing Brush, Clone Brush and Inpainting Brush Selection Refinement Quick Mask mode Mask layers and tweaking matte spill with Curves/Levels Brush work to enhance tones Masking on adjustments/live filters Final sharpening Export and conversion to sRGB colour space Hope you find it useful! I would hazard a guess that these more workflow-focused videos are quite useful, so I hope to produce more of them in the not-too-distant future. Thanks again.

('Brush over the hair to matte it," 'hair is a little thin from the matting.') Not a paperboard border, not a non-specular surface, ... ? @James Ritson It's a term that refers to masking the background or foreground for compositing. It's more commonplace when dealing with video (e.g. green screen keying, you have "matte spill" and other options related to the term) but also applies to what we're doing with selection refinement and masking in Photo. If you're after some light reading there's a Wikipedia article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matte_(filmmaking) - hope that helps!

mikep Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I really wish someone would do an in depth black and white conversion from a raw file. I think I have seen all the black and white videos and non of them give a complete workflow and show what Affinity photo has to offer in this area. I really think black and white is being neglected, please help. Regards Mikep Patrick Connor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
