Bri-Toon Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Okay, I have a suggestion. The beta of Designer 1.7 introduced a new tool, the Point Transform Tool. I am aware of what it does, but I’m interested in learning its advantages. I’m interested in learning in what cases it can be used. adirusf and Pariah73 2 Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready.

The tricker the problem, the better. YouTube channel I just watched one of your tutorials (thanks!) and have a question. Two, actually. First, I didn't see a way to ask this question on YouTube - is that feature disabled? And now the real question. In the "Out of Bounds" tutorial, you duplicate the train image and then mask off the front of the train in one of the layers. I didn't catch what that layer is used for.

The unmasked train image is placed behind the MacBook image so that it shows through the screen cutout. The masked copy of the train image is placed on top of the MacBook screen to produce the OOB effect.

True, but when I signed out (before responding earlier) there was still a place to add a comment. It just asked me to sign-in before it would actually let me post it. So it at least should be clear to the user that it is possible to comment on a video. When comments are disabled I recall seeing a specific message to that effect.

In a very tight view, the comments should be after the "Up Next" videos when the display is compacted like that. Quote The website is still a work in progress.

I'm not familiar with the tablet UI so converting to Win desktop in my brain was a challenge. I'll get better at it 'cause there's lots to learn from these great tutorials.

Normally I have my Chrome window set to about half the width of one of my monitors, about 850 px. Widening it shifted the 'Up Next' list to the right side, revealing the comments immediately below the video.

I assumed as much since I'm on YouTube a lot on my phone, and the view is in that same format. Yeah it's strange how that works, but I guess it makes sense since comments could go on forever.

Taming the web for small devices has created these situations. I wish they would check to see if I'm on desktop first and not screw with my view if I am. When the software takes control from me I have no idea what's happened. Personally, I wish MS had stopped at Win 7 which I consider the golden age of the PC desktop. It was stable, beautiful and readable. Bri-Toon 1 Quote Windows 11 Pro, XP-Pen Deco 03, AP, AD & APub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jak Gunn Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hi Bethany, On the Affinity store there are a set of brushes for sale that can be transformed into a flame effect. The brushes are by xresch on Deviant art. https://www.deviantart.com/xresch/art/Affinity-Photo-Tutorial-Fast-Fire-Effect-774035785 Can you create a tutorial for us to create the same effect please? Many thanks indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
