RENM Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I am working in DAZ3D attempting to create a political statement art piece. I need to import a png file into AP, provide a black fill layer below the image layer, create a "color overlay of the image", save, and export the file back into DAZ3D. The end result is a white silhouetted image over a black fill layer. The PNG file imported has a transparent background. I need the color png color overlay to be white. This is a very simple process in photoshop. how in the heck do I do this in Affinity Photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 There is a Colour Overlay function in the FX dialogue (Layer Effects) Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Perhaps you could supply a screenshot showing the kind of result you'd like, and a sample .PNG file for us to experiment with?

RENM Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Beginning @5:37 and ending @7:14 I am using a stock jpg converted to png to test the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thanks, @RENM. It seems to me that you would need to, at a minimum, isolate the dog image from its current background if you want to duplicate what that tutorial shows, as it is working with an isolated figure. But once you've isolated it, then adding a black Fill layer behind it, and overlaying with a Layer Effect as @carl123 suggested, seems to give what the tutorial was showing. (This was a very quick/dirty job of isolating the image.)

RENM Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 So essentially selecting the image using the selection brush, which isolating from background/apply FX color overlay 100% opacity in white to image/ black fill layer gets the job done.

walt.farrell Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I believe so, yes.

JimmyJack Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Yes. The procedure is exactly the same as in the video. He's just starting with an image with a transparent background and you're not. You've got a little work to do to get to his starting point. Or... just use a one click remove background website 😉 ! after that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
