Thank you - this was very helpful and answered many of my basic question about Liquify
Excellent! I’m really happy to hear that! It’s a very powerful tool if used correctly.
Thank you. This is the best tutorial I have seen on layers and masks.
Thank you so much for saying that! I’m really happy to hear that you found it helpful!
This blew my mind, I've been wondering for years how to control the colors in darker/lighter areas of an image. I'm glad I'm finally looking into this stuff.
Wow! Thank you so much for the comment! I’m really happy you found the video so helpful!
Great information, short and sharp - just what I need as a new user!! One question: When preparing images for Instagram, is there a way in Affinity Photo to remove the metadata (eg dates, times, locations etc) associated with the file?
Thank you very much! Glad you found it helpful!
I thought: Oh, almost 40 mins, I'll watch about half, and later, I watch the second half. I started watching and, while it was still very exciting, it was already over. In other words, it was an excellent and informative tutorial. Thank you for that! 🙏 Congratulations on the 3000 subscribers... You should have many more!
Thank you so much for those really kind words! I’m really happy to hear you found the video engaging enough to watch the whole thing. It’s always a balance, trying to find a length that will prevent people from getting bored, but not making it too short that you speed through the important information. And I think especially with new users, sometimes it just takes a little bit of time for some of the information to sink in, so I’m glad to hear that even at almost 40 minutes you were able to watch the whole thing! I really appreciate it!
Superb!!!
Thank you very much! It was fun to make.
Great video and explanation! I've watched quite a few videos on masking and your video made it so simple to grasp!!! I'm visual too and although I knew a lot about layers, it didn't occur to me how "masking" is really just a layer with options! Thank you for making this video and for the great way you approached showing us all about masks!
Thank you very much for your kind words! And that’s a really great way to think about it. A mask, it’s kind of like a special layer on a layer, which lets you choose what part of that layer you want to see, and hide. And I know for me, sometimes visualizing things how they would work in the real world always helps me. Really appreciate your comment!
Great tutorial as always 👏
Thank you very much!
Thanks, good refresher.
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
Congrat's on 3k Ben! Honestly your channel should have 300k but I know it's a grind. Your videos are top quality and the best consistent guides to Affinity Photo available IMO. Hopefully with the recent Adobe terms of service debacle and Affinity promoting 6 months free trial many more people will try the software and see how good it is and in turn find your excellent content to assist them in learning the software.
Thank you very much for the kind words! And I think I’ve definitely already seen a lot of growth since the whole Adobe debacle. So, I guess I can thank adobe for my new subscribers lol. I really appreciate your comment, and it’s comments like this that really motivate me to continue making, and improving my videos. Thank you!
🙏🏻🤟
Thank you! Always appreciate your support!
Sorry it's been awhile since I've uploaded a new video but I just wanted to thank everyone for allowing me to reach over 3,000 subscribers. I hope you enjoy this video and the many more to come!
I like to use a small tablet for everything because my wrist gets tired from using a mouse.
I think once you get used to using a tablet, it’s really hard to go back! Lol. I still use a mouse for my normal computer work, but use a tablet for 100% of my photo retouching work. I do know that some people use a tablet to replace a mouse for normal type computer work. Glad you like it!
A very welldone demonstration, thank you! I have a question not directly related to the topic: I often have a problem seeing the cursor (with most tools). When you use the cursor, there seems to be a nice circle around the actual cursor. I would dearly love to have that. I use Windows 10 on a PC, and I get the impression that you also use Windows. How is it done?
Hi there! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Well, the circle you might be seeing only shows up when I’m recording my screen to make videos. (I think it’s there to make the cursor easy to see when doing screen recording,) but it’s not actually there when I’m usually working. But if you want the curser to be bigger in Windows 10 (across your whole system including Affinity) you can go the settings app (in windows 10) then select Ease of Access, then Cursor and Pointer. There you should be able to adjust the size and color of your cursor to make it easier to see! I hope this helps!
@@brgphotography Thank you for the reply! How nice it would have been if it were in the program.
Yeah. I’ve actually made my cursor bigger in my Mac system settings because it can be hard to see for me sometimes as well.
How do you add an anchor point in mesh warp (4:55) Do you have a video that explains that? Thank you
Hi! You can add an anchor point just by double clicking anywhere in the mesh warp area. You can add as many as you need.
Very nice! Thank You!
You’re very welcome!
thank you so much. Such a relaxed way of explaining, yet gets all the key info across, concise and informative. Love your approach, and the way you explain. Huge appreciation. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much! I’m really happy to hear that!
enjoyed it. got lot out of it. brochures, Tri fold Z fold master pages. would be interested in that.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I don’t have too much experience making brochures like that, but I could probably go over a few of the basic concepts in a future video. Thanks for the idea.
I would like to see a jewelry retouching video with affinity photo since the competition has many and they are not equivalent, thank you.
When you say jewelry retouching, what kind of retouching are you referring to? Cleaning it up, removing, cloning? I’ve retouched jewelry a bit, but it’s mainly just making it a little bit brighter/sharper. And a few times removing some jewelry.
@@brgphotography cleanliness, brilliance, detail, purifying the color from a good photograph.

Sounds like a good idea. I’ve done a few shots in the past with jewelry so I’ll have to go back and check my process. But would make for a good video. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thank you, that's quite helpful.
You’re welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Ben, i didn't even know this tool existed. Awesome.
Yeah. It’s kind of uncommon in photo editing apps, but it’s used all the time in video editing, especially when color grading. So it’s nice that affinity photo has one because I find it super useful!
I just recently switched to Affinity and came across your channel. Thanky you so much for doing Affinity tutorials!
You’re very welcome! I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying them!
I'm beginning to use these tools in my bird photography processing. This is the clearest explanation I've found yet on what they do and how to use them well.
Thank you so much! Yeah, I could definitely see it being useful with bird photography. Especially for removing distracting elements like leaves, small branches, or bugs, etc…
Fantastic video! I’m very interested in the library tab you have on the left of your screen. Do you have a video on that? Definitely subscribed!

Well, I think if you just need basic functionality like drawing on screen, making diagrams, then the Wacom Intuos would more than suffice. Both tablets do the exact same thing, and I used the basic Wacom Intuos for years before upgrading to the pro. The main differences are the Pro has more buttons that you can customize, a heavier weighted pen, and I believe more pressure sensitivity levels (something that I never noticed, nor made any difference in my work.) So it you really just need something to make diagrams for a class, the Wacom Intuos will work just fine I believe. And I believe there is a Bluetooth version of it as well.
When I was a kid in Jr High in the 70s. my best friend had a B&W dark room. During printing, to dodge he would put part of his hand or an object (shaped paper or something else) between the enlarger lens & the paper, creating a shadow. To burn, he would block light to surrounding areas by arranging hands w/ a hole between them or cutting a hole in paper sheet. It was locally controlled exposure, then into the chemicals. I'd help, which would come in handy doing digital images much later.
That’s really interesting! I have shot film before in the past, but never developed my own film. Things have changed so fast!!
Very informative. Thanks. Subscribing.
Thank you very much! 😀
Very nice to see both the how to's & why's. Also very nice to include the model in the process. Not sure, but I suspect talking to her makes technical details more accessible to a broader youtube audience.
Thank you for the comment. Yeah, that was kind of the idea. Trying to give the perspective of someone who is not really familiar with the retouching process. And it’s kind of interesting to see it from the models perspective. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I hope to make a few more like this, with different models.
@@brgphotography I've only recently seen a couple of your videos & will be coming back for more. More w/ models & using different models & using different models is a good idea, as long as they're game. Hopefully they will enjoy being involved in the process. Perhaps give them ideas as models.
@jktolford8272 yes! They definitely have to be ok with having all their tiny little “flaws” pointed out. Haha! But hopefully I’ll be able to find some more willing candidates.
Thanks! Very clear explanation of the differences among some very sophisticated & powerful tools & how to use them. Great job removing the crown.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you found it useful! You’re the first person who commented about the crown removal. Thanks for watching till that part of the video! It does take a little time, but just using some of the basic tools, you can pretty much remove anything.
@@brgphotography Maybe other people just like crowns?
@jktolford8272 haha! Maybe! 😂
Love your videos! i understand mask and layers so much better!
Thank you very much! I’m really glad to hear that! It makes me happy to hear that I can help someone understand it a lot better!
Informative, thanks!!
Thank you very much! Hope it helped!
Really great explanation of how layers and masks work. I'm a newbie. I'll have to watch the mask part again since I couldn't quite get it to work like you showed.
Glad you found it useful. Were you able to get it to work? Anything I can help clear up?
@@brgphotography Well, I think maybe I was trying to use Mask in the wrong way. I have an image with a black background. I wanted to make it a white background so the image, a logo, stands out better. Maybe that's not the right situation for using Masking?
@bikedad57 Right. That situation does really require a mask. The most flexible option would be to first have one fill layer. (layer->new fill layer) This will creative a new layer that is just one solid color. Then you can change that color at anytime by making sure you have the move tool selected (the little arrow) then changing the color in the color pallet. This will change the color of the fill layer. Then you could have just your logo on a new layer above that fill layer. Then you could change the background layer color to any color to see how different colors look. Is your logo and black background on separate layers, or the same layer?
@@brgphotography they are on the same layer, which is why I'm having such trouble, I guess. I'll try the fill layer method you suggest tomorrow and let you know how I do.
@bikedad57 let me know how it works. Once you get used to working with layers, it’s a really good habit to put different elements on different layers, so you can always go back and make changes to each individual element. It’s not impossible, but it takes a little more work to change the white background to black if it’s all on the same layer. Of course, it depends on the complexity of your logo.
Helpful tutorial. thanks! HSL and Color Balance are my favorites. Seem to get mixed results with selective color.
Yeah. They all kind of do similar things, but they do them in different ways so you get varied results. Glad you liked the video!
More than a year after paying for Affinity, I cannot do effective work. All "tutorials" start with screens that look different from mine, no explanation of how to open tools or effects in the simplest layouts. This is very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I’m really happy to hear that!
Add this one to your wish list please- I recently moved to Affinity after 18 years of PS experience. The biggest thing I miss is the ability to have a 2 up view while doing D&B. I typically keep one zoomed all the way out, and the working view zoomed in to 100% to make sure I don't overdo it. Yes, I can zoom in and out, but that's not efficient.
That’s an interesting idea that I’ve never thought about, but I could see being very helpful. One work around could be using the “navigator” window to always give you a full sized view. Under the window tab you can check on navigator. You can make the window pretty big and have that side by side as you are doing D&B. The only thing is you can’t zoom the navigator window. So you always get a full view.
@@brgphotography Thank you for the suggestion! I'd be okay with that, but when I'm zoomed in at 100 - 300% to do some very fine detail work the area your zoomed into is covered by a translucent box in the navigator panel to show where you're zoomed into. The nice thing about this trick in PS is the second view is live, or updates as you work. It's so easy even for a seasoned retoucher to over do things when zoomed in that close. I've been playing with this and found a way to replicate most of what I need. Once you have a file open for editing, select "View>New View" on the menu bar. Next, go to "Window>Arrange>Float All". In PS, I would then go to Arrange and select side by side and the photo's would be docked to the correct size. The Retouching Toolkit and other panels had this as an action (macro) to set it up for me. Alas, AP2 doesn't have this (yet), so I'm forced to resize the floating windows around my workspace. The good news is it works and updates the copy live as you're editing! I'll update you if I find a way to automate this. Try it out and let me know what you think...
@williamcarter6374 that’s a really clever idea. I actually never used the new view option. And it’s always interesting to hear new ways to work. Because I sometimes also do lots of fine detail, and very fine dodging and burning. And I’ve always just kind of zoomed out and zoomed in. But having a copy of the image right next to where I’m working as a great idea. I’ll be able to see my retouches at full size without having to zoom in and out so much. Yeah, unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be an option to scale it like Photoshop. You can just have the window floating off to one side. One thing that I do, that you may have noticed, is I undock my toolbar. This allows me to float the tool bar on top of the view I’m not working in this saving a little space. I’m definitely gonna try this on my next retouch.
@@brgphotography I can't take credit for this method. I learned it many years ago from someone else. Thank you very much for taking the time to do these video's. The presentation and quality is excellent, and really helping me get up to speed on AP2!
@williamcarter6374 you’re very welcome! I’m always glad to hear when I can help people out, even though I’m still learning everyday 😅
Best tutorial I have found, not too fast, well explained. Hopefully I can watch all your videos and learn how to get the best out of Affinity. One Question how do I save all my work. Thanks again Mal.
You’re very welcome! I glad you found the pace just right! You mean saving all your work and layers? Just go up to File->Save. And when you get a little get box pop up, make sure you select “save as.” This will keep all your layers and masks. If you select “flatten,” it will compress all your layers down to one and you won’t be able to work on them when you re-open the file. So when you select “save as,” it should save it as an affinity photo document, and you should be able to open it at a later time and all your layers and masks will be there! Hope this helps answers your question!
@@brgphotography Thanks for the prompt reply. Unbelievable. Thanks again Mal
Thank you for this!
You’re super welcome!
I've been using Affinity Photo for three years and love it -- but I wish I'd seen this video when I first started!! It is one of the few tutorials appropriate for absolute beginners, far better than the ones put out by Affinity themselves.
Thank you soooo much! I’m really happy to hear that. I’m glad you found it helpful!
I don't understand, when I create a new layer, colour and add soft light the soft light effects the whole image and not just the lips. What do I do?
Hmm. So you should be creating a new blank layer. Then painting over the lips (on that new layer) Then changing that layer’s blend mode to soft light. It should only affect the layer you painted on the lips. Mare you sure you were painting on a blank layer? Not a duplicate of the layer with the face on it? If it a blank layer, and the only information on that layer is the lips you painted, changing the blend mode to soft light should only affect the painted lips. Try again and let me know if it works.
1:25 Where did all those layers and groups spring from?
😅oh, I had edited the video from a later part, so there is a jump. But what I did was active my Retouching Macro, which sets up a few layers I use for retouching. Just the part where I activated it got edited it out. I didn’t think anyone would noticed. 😅 I got busted. lol.
@@brgphotography Do you have a video where you go through the process of setting up that macro? I'm a recent convert from Photoshop and would appreciate seeing how that is done.
@Ruffian_Xion yes I do! This video you can actually download them and see how they work. ruclips.net/video/FCNWu8FIhfE/видео.htmlsi=EGgqQljR2DvGu3V1 And this is an older video where I show the step by step process how I make it (in affinity version 1, but it’s the same in version 2) ruclips.net/video/uoft3mMH-LU/видео.htmlsi=WqQ8O4s3fG6W42lL I hope these help.
@@brgphotography Awesome, thank you!
I think we have similar editing styles. I do quite a bit of clean to less then amount of heavy lifting in FS. If the person has pretty good skin I don't even have to do any FS. Good going sir love the content
That’s interesting. Yeah, especially if the final image is only going to end up on social media, you can do a lot of the heavy lifting with just clean up. Especially on wider shots. I use FS every once in a while, but recently been preferring D&B even though it takes longer. Appreciate the comment! Hope to make more in this series.
Super tutorial! Very demonstrative! Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words! I’m happy to hear you found it helpful!
Thank you for these. I have been meaning to try and manually recreate actions that i normally use in Ps. This will be a huge help. I found even when trying to create my own action, when i make the blur radius visible during the run process, the FS preview doesn't show. When the blur slider is adjusted it does reflect on screen. Anyone else experiencing that and found away around it?
You’re very welcome! I’m not sure if I’ve come across that issue. But, I know that sometimes you have to do things in a weird order when recording your macros, or they don’t work correctly. I think about a year or two ago, I made a video showing how I record and set up one of these macros. Although I don’t show how I made the FS is think. I can’t remember. Here is the video if you wanna check it out. ruclips.net/video/uoft3mMH-LU/видео.html
I just found your video with the retouching macros. I install and was able to activate your macros with a single tap using my Huion tablet
That’s really interesting! Must be a Wacom issue…? I’ll have to contact support. Thanks for the info!
@@brgphotography you are most welcome.
love the inpainting tool it so effective I find. Great video.
Same! It’s definitely the tool I use the most!
Excellent job !
Thank you! I hope you found it helpful!
2 years later and your video is still helpful
Haha! Thanks so much! Happy to hear that!
question - is selective color the closest tool to DCTL? or is there ways to get even more specific with playing around with very specific colors in the images?
That a good question. I would say there isn’t anything similar to a DaVinci color space transform, or DCTL, since those seem to operate more in the background. But selective color, and HSL (and isolating a particular color) would probably be the best tools for drastic color transforms. But in think the biggest advantage of working with a still image over a video, is we can mask individual parts of the image to adjust and change the colors as extreme as we would like.
Great Tutorial, bringing it smoothly from theory to technical practice, and creative applications. thanks a lot - you got a new sub :)
Thank you very much! I’m really happy to hear you say that. Sometimes these concepts are difficult for me to understand, and these kind of “physical” examples help me understand them. So I’m glad to know that it also helps other people! And thank you for the subscription! I really appreciate it !
