Brilliant explanation. Thanks!
Great video. This is the best explanation of blend ranges I have seen.
Trent, you really should do a full course. I'd buy it. Your tutorials are fantastic.
I support you!
Finally someone who cares about the audience :) Thank you very much for such a useful explanation!!!
Hi @marcodimario9918 , thanks so much for your comment and very kind donation! I appreciate it a lot.
Looks like we're lucky. You are doing some of the *best lessons now* in RUclips on Affinity Photo and Designer. Your RUclips channel is a real find. Everything is very clear and simply explained. Thank you for your work. This is very useful. 🙂
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Awesome tutorial - Thanks!
So cool! Thank you!
Great tutorial. Thanks.
Awesome video trent need more like this......
Thanks
Thank you for your videos.
Another excellent explanation. I sort of understood it but your grayscale layers clarify perfectly. 👍👍
I have two (2) things to comments on and both are equally important.
1) You made an excellent excellent video. I’ve seen a few videos on the Blend Ranges but was still left with “ummm … what does it do?”, afterwards. But, you presented excellent examples and really illustrated what they do. Very well presented. I will now click subscribe.
2) What’s with those donuts??? Do humans really eat them? Or, do you PhotoShop them and they aren’t really real?? I like those apple cinnamon ones you get at the farmers market.
Ha, thanks for both of your points :) Yes, apparently people do eat those donuts! I am more of a bagel guy, though.
Another interesting video!
Super useful tutorial, thanks a lot
Glad you liked it
I swear you built the Affinity Suite. lol. You explain these features so well!
Ha ha, thanks!
@@TechnicallyTrent you're welcome.
great tutorial ~ I wonder if you could do one on using textures and blend modes or even how to create textures to use with photos ?
That's a great idea! I will add it to my todo list. I've done some work with textures in my own projects, so I have a few ideas :)
You've done a very good job of explaining Blend Options but I'm still foggy on the behavior of the Underlying Composition Ranges however. Both look below the source layer to make the change to the source. What make the Underlying Composition Range different from the Source Layer Ranges?
Hi Bob-the-Guy,
Actually, the Source Layer Ranges will use the values from the current layer you are on. So in my first example with the gradient, I am actually using the Source Ranges on that gradient layer. In the second example, I put the picture of the donut on top and used the Underlying Composition Range on that donut layer. Let me know if this helps!
I'm still having problems grasping the real difference between Source Layer Range and Underlying Composition Range. Like I stated, I get Source Layer Range but so far Underlying Composition Range is not getting any clearer. Maybe explain it in another way? I am probably not alone on this either. You have a gift for making difficult concepts easy to understand but on this point its continues to be a bridge too far. thanks, Bob@@TechnicallyTrent
It is definitely a tricky concept. I think the first step is to see that they behave differently. One thing I would recommend is putting one image on top of another (make the bottom image something simple like a linear gradient). For the top layer, adjust the Source Layer and see what happens. Reset it, and then also for the top layer, adjust the Underlying Composition and see that it behaves differently. While it might not be clear how it works, it should demonstrate that they are actually doing *something* different. Let me know how it goes :)

Can you do something in regards to applying highlights. I love affinity i have all tools. But for composition especially with highlights in photo shop with sliders i have nicer control where to apply. Here with affinity i am still struggling to figure out
Hi @4sightfitness, thanks for the suggestion! Do you mean enhancing highlights in your photographs?
