Colourful Cats (in Spacesuits) In Affinity Photo (split)

[Alfred]

Apply and tweak Gradient Map adjustments separately to each of the two pictures. Follow the instructions in my post to your earlier thread about the cat astronaut to put the space helmet on the cat’s head.

How do I get bright colors in my picture like that? All I’m getting are dark colors. Any suggestions.

Josie...

How do I make images like this? Step by step? My pictures don’t look right. Can’t you explain this?

If the colours are too dark, increase the luminance (lightness). If the colours are too dull, increase the saturation.

[Josie]

Ok.

@Josie 

1. Pick ONE picture at a time and work on it. Don't split your focus because it makes things seem overwhelming.

2. Google Affinity Photo tutorials. Watch them. Do the things they do. When you learn the techniques, you can apply them to any of your horde of cat pictures. There may be a few cat picture related tutorials out there but there's not going to be tons of tutorials out there walking you through the process of making cat pictures. You will have to find tutorials that relate to what you want to do to those pictures. If your question is about gradients, then search for tutorials about gradients. If you need to make a cat a different color, search for tutorials about recoloring..and so on   Also, google general tutorials about compositing (combining multiple images into a new piece of art) and that should get you started.

I really wish you all the luck in your quest for fun cat pictures. Feel free to share your work here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/10-share-your-work/

If my helmets to dark in color what do I do to get it like the picture of the cat?

[Alfred]

If an individual colour is too dark, adjust the luminance via the Gradient Map controls. To change the lightness of the entire image in one fell swoop, apply an HSL adjustment.

[Josie]

So can you explain that step by step please if you would so I can understand better?

[aaron_r]

Oh no!!

I tried so hard to make this picture

but it doesn't look the same

Can you tell me how to do this right? Please be specific. I don't want to do all the learning on my own. Help me, please!

[Josie]

I do the saturation and luminance but is still to dark and doesn’t turn out the way I want in the picture

im trying to do a multicolored cat, help.

I don’t see any difference between the new pictures and the ones you posted earlier!

I use the iPad version of affinity photo and designer so how would I do the pictures using the iPad to get the affect I want

[AffinityJules]

First it's cats then helmets, then it's helmets and cats - this thread is going to go on forever.

The picture above (your last post) looks to me as if the creator use custom specific shapes to achieve the multi-coloured effect, I could be wrong but that's how it looks to me. I don't use an iPad so I haven't got the foggiest idea how to go about realising your creative desires. Have you tried making shapes then placing them over the cat to see how it turns out? Maybe you should.

Making multi-coloured cats is simple enough but trying to copy an exact style made by someone with an artistic flare is difficult at best without knowing EXACTLY what technique they employed or what skill level they possess.

And talking of multi-coloured cats. . .

How do I blend these colors to make it look like a design using the iPad ? And make it look like a multicolor affect? Somewhat into the cat picture. That’s what I want and am trying to figure out using the iPad .

Anyway;

this thread's original title is "cutting out image in affinity photo," I think it's rather gone off track.

It isn’t the first time that’s happened in a thread to which @Josie has posted, and it probably isn’t the last!

How do I get multicolored pictures and styles using the iPad Pro ? How do I do that and blend the colors so it looks like a design?

[Josie]

How do I get a style like this one using layers?

The default behaviour for a Gradient Map adjustment is that the colours blend at the edges.

Time, patience, and a lot of hard work! Please learn to walk before you try to run.

Do you know if these colors were done with shapes and for the design?

[Josie]

How do I use different colors when using the rectangle marquee tool to make the selection and fill them with the color or colors that I want in the designs?
