Affinity Photo v1 and v2 – Written Tutorial

Beginners Guide - A Look At The Lighting Filter for PC, Mac and iPad

A look at the Lighting Filter in both the destructive and non-destructive versions.

This is not a tutorial about how to light an image correctly, it’s a tutorial just showing how the filter works. Mainly done using the Desktop version of Affinity Photo.

The last page looks at where to find the mentioned options, on the iPad.

Should also be the same for version 1 Affinity Photo users.

iPad Version - Affinity Photo v2

Beginners Guide to Affinity Photo - Part 4

Masks revisited, Placing files using Drag and Drop and the Place Command

The tutorial starts off looking at how you view just the Pixel Layer Mask to help you fine tune your masking of your images.

Next a look at how to drag and drop single and multiple files from the iPads File and Picture Folders, plus from a web page. Then a look at using the Place Command to do the same thing.

I also look at the Embedded and Linked Placement Policy, plus using the Resource Manager check and alter the Placement Policy of files.

Lastly a look at using the Place Command while using a Photoshop PSD Mock-Up file.

Affinity V2 – Written Tutorials Vol-022 - Pencil Scratch Effect

A conversion of a Photoshop Tutorial by Creative Design

I started off by making my own brush head of a scribble I did on a blank piece of paper. I did also download and install a couple of scratch brushes.

Then after editing the image, I used the paint brush head I made to bring out the image and make it look a bit like it had been drawn.

Affinity Photo – Written Tutorial

based on a video tutorial by GraphicalFinity

Looking At Clipping Warnings

GraphicalFinity recently did a short video tutorial about the Clipping Warnings. You only really get this in the Develop Persona. He looks at way to get them in the Photo Persona also. In the YouTube video description are links to some Assets and Filter Presets that will do Clipping Warnings in Photo Persona.

Only trouble the video doesn’t really explain about how to install these downloads, only how they work. I thought it a good idea to try and aid beginners to hopefully explain some things. That said, I still recommend watching the video as it visually explains how the warnings work, better than my still images.

(not so) Simple Collage video tutorial By Pure Graphics

Affinity Designer (v 2.4)

This written tutorial is me, trying to explain what is going on in a video tutorial without vocals or any real visual aid to what is being done.

I have had to adapt some things, but hopefully the end result(s), (there are two slightly different collage’s) are helpful.

Original video and Pixabay images used, are linked in the PDF.
