gram tot Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I am use to accomplishing dodge and burn by using an overlay filter layer filled with neutral grey and then painting with black or white to dodge and burn. I am new to Affinity. I have created the layer. (New Fill Layer; neutral grey; as an overlay filter.) How do I make sure I have a white or black brush? I can see something happening on the layer, but it does not change the background image. Can someone walk me through loading the brush with black and white since I may be doing that incorrectly? Also, what I am doing wrong that the background image is not changing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 8, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hello gram tot Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Create a new layer then go to Edit ▸ Fill..., set it to 50% grey, and change the Layer Blend mode to Overlay in the Layers panel. Use the Paintbrush Tool to paint in this layer with black/white (you can select its colour from the Colour panel on the top right of the interface). You can swap between the two pressing X. Check the context toolbar (right above the work area) for more brush options. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
