LastGrasp Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Recently I was trying out some psd files with embedded layers. The psd file was a sticker label mock up that had an embedded smart layer that I can double-click to enter and edit the content so that it reflects on the original file. I would like to make these but do not know where or how to begin. Are there any tutorials for this, or a name for this technique, I do know that masks and textures are involved which made the "stickers" look real. Can this also be done with an actual 'cut out'? What I normally do is take a Hi-Res image of an asset or element that I would use for a design and clean it up, like the picture I attached. How would I go about recreating these stamps so that I can insert layers where I can edit the content while retaining the look of the original? Thank you.

LastGrasp Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 I took 2 screen shots of what I'm talking about if I didn't explain it clearly. The file in the screen shots is premade, I want to be able to make the same thing but to my specific needs. Does it matter if I use it in AP or AD?

Staff NathanC Posted March 29, 2022 Staff Share Posted March 29, 2022 Hi @LastGrasp, If you're looking for more information on how embedded documents can be created and work in Photo, you may find the below help articles useful. https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Media/embeddingVsLinking.html https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Media/placeImages.html You can place .afphoto and .psd (and other formats) documents as an embedded layer into an existing photo document via File > Place. If your document was created with the image placement policy set to 'prefer linked' then these will need changing to embedded in the resource manager in the View menu. Regarding re-creating the stamps, perhaps some of the other forum users may be able to advise on how this can be achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
