I am so amazed at how much you can do with Affinity Photo. I am happy with just the basics but when I watch your videos and see what I didn't know, I become even more ecstatic. You are doing a terrific job.
Es hat richtig Spaß gemacht dieses lächelnde Video anzuschauen. Und der beschriebene Effekt ist grandios. Und ich dachte immer das funktioniert in Affinity Foto nicht. Irrtum ich jetzt weiß. Vielen herzlichen Dank für die Mühe 👌
I love the tutorials you guys do trying to figure out to do on iPad version is tough sometimes but you guys are very detailed in explanations it just takes me a few trails
Hello, Ezra and Ally Anderson. Your tutorials and courses are excellently structured, didactically very well structured, very well explained and communicated in an easy to understand English, that it's really a pleasure to learn from you and to learn with your eyes, handles and skills in the creative design possibilities of Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher. Thanks for your work, your achievements are worth every dollar.
Ally, in every tutorial you always say something that makes me bust out laughing! This one was "We love a good shortcut!" Yes, we all do! Thanks for this excellent tutorial. 👍
Thank you! I saw this video some month ago but never practised it, not having my own image to try it on. I've just tried it out and it worked really well, so thank you for all the detailed steps. I only have Affinity for the iPad so I had to figure out the equivalent steps on that version.
Hey there would you mind helping me out? I got stuck...I selected the highlights, but then it says to duplicate the selection onto another layer, and I couldn’t find how to do that on the ipad... 😆 Can you help me?
At long last a simple straight forward tutorial for creating sun rays in a forest. I am going to download the image and practice. One question: If the forest is dark (congested) and there are no highlights in the image, but you still want to show some sun rays coming in from above, what do I do? Should I create another layer above the background, just with some highlights brushed in at the bottom?
another great tutorial from affinity revolution. A quick tip for switching off all the layers above the original. Hold ALT while clicking on the bottom original layer. this switches off all ascending layers without having to select them. To switch layers back on, click on the top layer.
A blur that is not Gaussian... (Until Gaussian showed up!!! LOL) . Thanks so much for the tutorial! You're really good at presenting these demos! And good luck and good health to you both!
Great! I was worrying why the transparency tool is not present in Affinity Photo like the Designer app. However I learned today that it works with the gradient tool.
Any time I need to do something in Affinity Photo I come here. It's not just that AP can do it, but Ally and friends at Affinity Revolution make it so easy to follow. I've tried other videos where I just get lost half-way through because the person forgot a key detail like a tool select or menu item, etc. But not with AR! This time, I needed a "magic" effect in photos, where someone would wave a wand and light beams would shoot out. Ten minutes later, I'm looking at my photos (I also followed the glow tutorial for this, too) and just thinking... yes *that's* what I needed!
Yep; that was well presented :) Tip for all for adding blur filters --- you can use the mouse to adjust the strength and angle of most blurring . Open the blur filter >left click + drag across the image -- the further you drag the stronger the effect --you also drag to change the angle of the blur . As explain in the video; click where you require the blur to start from Experiment with motion blur live filter --- remember the live filters do use more power. If power is a problem >duplicate the layer >filters > select filter type >blur to your hearts content . Because its on a duplicate layer there will be no effect/damage to the main photo layer
I watched this when you first uploaded it and was blown away. I have just been following the instructions and they could not be clearer. The effect is really quite convincing especially for an amateur like me. I expect a professional would go about the effect differently, but this will do for me as a continue to learn new techniques. Keep up the good work and i hope Ezra's voice gets better, but reflux (or whatever) can have permanent impact on vocal chords. I used to work in formulating products for Reflux etc.
Very nice. What I got out of it most is learning about the zoom blur. The image that I wanted to use this technique on didn’t have the lightness as your forest has. So I made a new pixel layer and painted white with a grunge brush in the center of the layer. And used zoom blur. I was happy with the results. It’s funny that I have all those options but never think of trying them. Thank you for bringing them to my attention. I use an iPad only.
Your tutorials are really good. Clear and concise. The details are well covered in this one. Placing light beams is a very useful addition.
Thank you Robert! 😊

That sounds like a great solution for adding light rays to a dark forest.

is it possible to get the transcription of the workflow? I notice it's available on some of the other tutorials.
Sorry, we didn't make a transcription of this video.

Very nice idea to use the grunge brush! I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for sharing!
