Help on channel selection on either Dark or Bright areas from Piximperfect tutorial video.

Can anyone tell me how to do the channel selection on only the bright areas or the dark areas. I want to try to do the tutorial shown in the video in affinity photo 2. Thanks in advance.

It is painful to watch these overly chatty videos. Next time please provide a Timecode of the relevant section (here roughly 09:00)

In Affinity, a live luminosity mask will do the trick.

Trying to translate those Piximperfect tutorials (from PS to Affinity) doesn’t make much sense. There are extremely detailed explaining the Photoshop specific functions and UI like keyboard shortcuts, navigating in the menu etc, and are poor in explaining the overall workflow and creative concept. 

In Photo, you would typically choose a totally different workflow to achieve the same result. 90% of PI tutorials are explaining PS specific usage which is distracting for Affinity users.

If you want to learn how to edit in Affinity, try to find tutorials covering the same topic in Affinity.

I don’t want to talk bald about Piximperfect, he has a great channel for Photoshop users and the level of detail is good for beginners who are on a „drawing by numbers“ level and help them to get familiar with PS.

But for Affinity, you need to unlearn 90% of the content and learn the Affinity style.

There are numerous Affinity specific tutorials on YouTube to add patterns to fabric. Listed below are 4 of them

The 1st one specifically mentions luminosity masks. The second is just 3 minutes long but all are worth watching

Thank you for your response.

I wanted to know how to achieve the same output in Affinity. I’m not an Adobe user and have been using Affinity for over 4 years now. However, since Photoshop tutorials cover a wide range of techniques, I try to recreate them in Affinity to learn different methods.

I’ve successfully recreated the process in Affinity, but I wanted to confirm if my workflow is correct or if there’s a more efficient method.
