EmmaS Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hi folks, I'm attempting to follow this Photoshop tutorial, but translated to Affinity Photo. The section of the tutorial I'm following starts at 2:31 and the specific light effect I'm trying to get is demonstrated at 3:31. What's the Affinity equivalent to the "transparency shapes layer" option here (see screenshot)? I found someone elsewhere on this forum suggest it was "Protect Alpha" (under the paint brush options), but checking that means that I can't paint on the new pixel layer at all.

EmmaS Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Darn, that's too bad. I liked the effect of the second method. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmaS Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 No kidding? Man, I'm really am a newbie, haha. It seemed like when he dragged the light (in the vid at 3:33), the light had a sort of smart effect where it interacted differently with the image on the background layer. (Hard to explain, but the program seemed to recognize the black bar on the far side of the lamp and display the light differently on that vs. the glass on either side of the bar.) Must just be an optical illusion, compounded with a major case of beginner's eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
