Nikon Girl Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 The first thing he mentions in the video is that he "puts the paper in" Where did he get the paper from. Was it uploaded from another site? From which menu did he select the paper? I downloaded 50 distressed textures from shutterstock per the instructions in a different video, but I don't understand how to get the textures into affinity or from which menu to select for an overlay. Please help. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 It looks like the paper is just an image which they downloaded from somewhere, which they then added to the document via the Place function (in the File menu). If you do a web search for distressed paper image you should be able to find something similar and continue with the tutorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikon Girl Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 As I mentioned in my post, I have already downloaded the distressed paper image. However none of the affinity videos explains how the images are imported into affinity after download and from which affinity menu to select the addition. This step is glossed over. How do I get the downloaded images into affinity? Once they are in affinity what menu will allow me to choose the transparency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
