f121 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 In Affinity Photo (either Mac or iPad) is there a way to use the dodge tool to apply a color whilst also dodging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Dodging and burning are for local exposure adjustments. Why would you want to apply a colour at the same time?

carl123 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 See this video Affinity has a Colour Dodge blend mode https://lensvid.com/photo-editing/how-to-color-dodge-in-photoshop/ Leigh, Alfred and toltec 3 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

f121 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hi Alfred. Thanks for your response. It's a technique used by some landscape photographers, and is apparently a feature of Photoshop (which I don't have or use). It's used to create tinted lighting effects. I would like to replicate the process in AP, preferably in one step. Doing it in two steps (dodge, then add color) isn't quite the same thing, and is twice the work. Carl123 - I have tried the color dodge blend mode in AP and couldn't figure out how to make it do what I wanted, which might be pilot error. I will watch the photoshop video you linked, and see if it leads me somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You use it with a brush not the Dodge Tool, make a note of the brush tool settings he uses in the video, also by painting on a new pixel layer you can change the opacity of the Colour Dodge layer to adjust the effect if needed Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

f121 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Carl123 - Thanks. I see that in the video. I will try that in AP. I was down a rathole trying to make the Dodge tool do it. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
