This is crazy DM. When I first saw this a couple of months ago (when I didn't know anything), my reaction was like, 'that's pretty cool'. Now that I'm understanding more and more how much this software can do, I see this video again today and I'm like 'DAMN, this is powerful!' - because I now see how useful this one simple effect can be when creating. #InvaluableContent
Thanks so much for this video! When I select mask . It doesn’t appear below the image or shape i want to mask on the control panel, instead it appears beside the picture 😩 so then when i select to blend it’ll change the color of the whole photo 😩
Keep in creating these great videos .. Clear concise - excellent learning resource .. I am about to do a presentation on Affinity Photo or my local camera club and am so pleased to have discovered your videos which I will be recommending to those who attend
Question. What if you wanted to add multiple fades to a single image? Do you copy the image multiple times, or add additional masks? And if you wanted to change the color several times...
Hey Prontopac! I would add multiple masks to the image. Sometimes I fade an image at the top and the bottom so I add two masks and fade them separately for the most control. For changing colour I would use the Recolour Adjustment (as many times as needed) and use the built in mask to paint away (or add) what I want. I hope that makes sense, let me know!
Hey Tawanna thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I can certainly do something with letters in another video as it works the same way. Create your text, add a mask, grab the gradient tool and then fade!
🤨this a GREAT Tutorial .... buttttttt mine doesn't look like yours sooo i'm haveing a hard time HARD TIME .. but your FANTASTIC, very easy to understand.I just wish I could lol lol lol
Oh no! Are you using Affinity Photo 2? You can always check by going to 'About' in the top toolbar. You can also reset your workspace to default (which I always use) by going to Window > Studio > Reset Studio. Let me know if that works!
A very useful and easy to follow video, thank you. Is it possible to fade a photo out from the middle in all directions so that the outer edges all fade away equally?
Hey, thank you so much. For something like that I would either: 1) apply a mask, with the mask selected I would get my paintbrush and painting in black I would fade the areas I wanted away. If you're not sure about masking check out my 'MASKING' video - it explains everything. 2) add 4 masks and do each side - I know this sounds like a lot of work but it would have the effect you're looking for. You can apply as many masks as you need, I do this often to fade top and bottom, left to right, etc.
Excellent. Many thanks for taking the time to reply. I think the painting in black sounds like a good option for me. I have used this method a little but am not very good at it so I will check out the video you refer to. Many thanks once again.@@bydesignmethod
Hi I have affinity photo 2 on the Windows PC why does my main screen not have the numbers across the top and down the side 🤔🤔 oh by the way if you haven't guessed I'm new to affinity photo and I do enjoy your videos 😁😁👍🏼👍🏼
@@bydesignmethod 👍🏼👍🏼 thank you for a speedy response and your videos are great and very helpful. It would be good if you did one showing how you can colour grade different parts of your photographs individually 😁👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Michael, If you're using V1 your icon will look slightly different. If you don't see it, go to "View > Customise Tools' and you should see it there. Drag it into your toolbar. Let me know if you have any issues!
Just watched this. I have a round object I would like to fade into the background. Is there a tool or technique that allows a 360-degree fade around a object? Thx!
Hey, Nothing for that exact effect. It sounds like a lot but I would add 4 masks (they're unlimited) and use the gradient tool to pull from each side. I've done it with top/bottom and sides before. You could also use your paint brush (check out my masking video if needed) to manually fade the round object, you could get a pretty good look that way. ruclips.net/video/R80Njb2ynMI/видео.html
Hey if you can't find it try this: Go to VIEW > CUSTOMIZE TOOLS Look for the gradient tool there and drag it into your toolbar let me know if you get it working!
You could just watch the masking video that was created DAYS before this.... this video isn't on masking, hence the title. here you go --> ruclips.net/video/R80Njb2ynMI/видео.html

Hey Comps! Hope all is well. Yes, I honestly use fade in about 75% or more of the things I do... it's a must!
@@bydesignmethod Oh WOW! 75%? Thanx for that tidbit.
I also went ahead and became a follower
Really appreciate it Tawanna!

I don't see the gradient tool in my toolbox on the left. Am I missing something? I'm using version 1.10.8
Hey Michael,
If you're using V1 your icon will look slightly different.
If you don't see it, go to "View > Customise Tools' and you should see it there. Drag it into your toolbar.
Let me know if you have any issues!

I can't find the gradiant tool in Affinity Photo :(
Hey if you can't find it try this:
Go to VIEW > CUSTOMIZE TOOLS
Look for the gradient tool there and drag it into your toolbar
let me know if you get it working!
how do you edit the mask to customize it after? thanks for not covering this simple detail....
You could just watch the masking video that was created DAYS before this....
this video isn't on masking, hence the title.
