fit original and new photo with use of opacity


Recommended Posts

hello,

 

i'm new to affinity, i am a painter (with real paint..) what i want to do is, import the image that i want to paint into infinity and import a photo of what i am painting.

with the opacity slider i can slide between the two and see where i have to concentrate on my painting.

The problem is that i find it hard to put the two images directly over each-other

can anyone tell me how to do that?

I would use the Align functions, either from the Toolbar or the menu Arrange > Align Left, middle, right ... etc.

Select both layers and have a go. I would suggest using the Middle and Centre choices.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Thanks Bruce, would snapping also work ?

It should. Turn on Snap to spread/margins and the various snap to .... midpoints options.
