I presume that the South Serif Ocean is the location of the famous San Seriffe islands featured in the Guardian on the first of April 1977.

I remember that special supplement, John, although I couldn’t have told you it was published in 1977! One particular detail I do recall, however, is that it attracted genuine advertising: Kodak, for example, placed an advertisement where they remarked that “the beauty of these fabulous islands is legendary” and invited readers to send photographs of them.

Thank you very much for your written tutorials Carl, I have followed many of your tutorials. Some of them I like to try out for two reasons one is to learn how to use the tools and the other being creative and different. You have saved me a lot of time by your written tutorials as I write each step down as I follow your tutorials so I remember how to perform the task. I get carried away following the tutorial and miss out writing down a step then when following my instruction and  wonder why it is not working and have to go over the whole process again.

Thanks again very much appreciated Carl.

Affinity Photo – A Look At Luminosity Masks – Activ8 issue 29

A written tutorial, looking at 3 possible ways, of doing Luminosity Masks in Affinity Photo.

A Luminosity Mask can be used to target Shadows, Midtones or Highlights of an image rather than a colour or area.

Affinity Photo - issue 30 - Simple Composite Image pt 2

In issue 26 I showed three ways to match the colour tones of the background and the image(s) you add to it. This issue shows two more ways to do the same thing but in different ways.

Carl, I just discovered your written tutorials.  I used the Activ8 issue 6 – 3D Text to see what they were like.  You put so much work into it.  That tutorial is great!  So easy to follow.  The video tutorials are good to use but I would rather use the written as I can reread it easier as many times as I want to understand what is being done.  Thank you, I look forward to many hours going through the rest of your tutorials.  Job well done.  Affinity should pin your list with their tutorial list.

Short But Sweet – Issue 1 – Written Tutorial

 

Affinity Photo - Spooky House - Adapted from a Photoshop Tutorial

 

This is a written tutorial for Serif’s Affinity Photo program. Mainly aimed at those users with a good working knowledge of the program, so need less instructions on where tools and adjustments can be found.

In this tutorial I take an image from Pixabay of an old building which is quite warm, bright and sunny. I turn it into a cool, dark and spooky looking house with strange yellow lights in the upper windows.
