You're clear, to the point (no fluff, no hemming and hawing), no superfluous filler and knowledgeable....I love your style because I don't have a lot of time and you give clear, thorough information for a hobby I wish I had more time for. Thank you for your selflessness. Thank you very much. Useful information!
I have watched hundreds of videos before, yet I've learned only how to copy and do things without knowing what I was doing, or why I was doing it. I learned nothing creative... Your videos on the other hand, are INSTRUCTIONAL, and SO creative! Minutes into one of your videos make me go "I got it". Also, I've not yet seen a single one video where I get lost because of presenters not knowing what they themselves are actually doing. You have excellent knowledge AND you are a superb presenter/teacher. I have no idea how to thank you for what I've learned from watching just a few of your videos.
THAT'S the kind of tutorial I've been searching for. adjusting brightness in a finely graduated way. thank you so much scott! your explanation of the blend options is wonderfully comprehensible.
An excellent explanation of blend ranges, the best I've come across so far. Competent and convincing. I will now use this powerful feature much more frequently in my daily work. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial! Now I actually understand blend ranges. I'm not sure when I saved this tutorial to my library to watch when I had a chance but I'm glad I decided to watch it tonight. You have a definite gift for teaching and being clear and concise and understandable. Thank you! ( I have several others of yours saved that I am going to have to sit down and binge watch them all!)
Finally I get it! Thanks Scott, your simple worked examples with the fill and gradient layres make this so much easier to follow than the other atempts that I've looked at based on live images which are a little too complex to actually be sure what's happening. I'm off to try this out now.
very informative tutorial It always amuses me how versatile Affinity is. I might be the only person to say this but I found the background music distracting and a bit annoying. Thanks for time putting this together.
Cheers David. You are right Affinity Photo is a very versatile program. I totally agree about the background music. That was in part due to my inexperience and also to mask the quality from crappy microphone I was using to record my voice. In my later videos the background music has been vanquished. The voice audio is also better quality as I have invested in decent recording equipment.
Outstanding video! Not sure I like the background music but your explanations are so easy to understand. I just can't believe the power of this software on photo processing. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you for a very informative video - I enjoyed it immensely. Subscribed straight away so looking forward to more tutorials. I liked the clear diction and lack of annoying sound effects.
Scott, thank you so much for this video. The difference between how PhotoShop and Affinity Photo use blend ranges is probably where the programs diverge the most. Your explanation and examples really help in making the PS>AP transition easier. Great job! (But please turn down the background music a little.)
Great tutorial Scott. Thank you. Nice, clear and concise. That has helped me understand a feature in Affinity Photo that I’ve never quite understood so have never used. Have subscribed.
Another really helpful video Scott. I do happen to be completely BONKERS and intend to try that crazy distortion! I wonder if there are presets for the blend ranges to get you close to the effect you want? Thank you for sharing.
Cheers Rob. I don't see any way of saving blend range presets. But it is a really good idea. I think we should be able to create macro's to do the same thing. I will have to have a look at that and include it in a future video.
My pleasure Scott! If you happen to use a Wacom tablet I would be greatful for a tutorial on how to set it up properly with Affinity Photo (pen pressure).
In the meantime, with a brush selected, check the box between More and Stabilizer on the bar just above the canvas,. That will make the pen pressure control the brush size.
A great vid. In the beginning when you were showing black to white to color gradients, can these be saved styles or presets? Thanks in advance for any replies.
very informative and well structured explanation, thank you very much Scott. your tutorials are very helpful in understanding affinity photo much better and clearer.
@@ScottWilliamsPhotography i am trying to slowly migrate to the affinity photo on the ipad. your tutorials have been awesome as it explain it in concept. if moving from photoshop that would so advantages . I am trying to find out what I can't do in affinity that i can do in photoshop. i think content aware scaling is one of them.
I've been using Photoshop for 21 years. After watching this video, I must say Adobe had better get its act together. This implementation of selecting certain areas puts Adobe's Blend-If to shame. Actually, I don't care if Adobe gets its act together, I'm now certain I'm going to ditch them and move to Affinity's superior (and non-rental) software. Let me add this is a VERY well done video. I just subscribed.
Hi Johnny. I agree. The blend ranges are so quick and simple to use once you understand them. I ditched Adobe a couple of years ago and can't see myself ever going back. I now mainly use four software packages for my work. Affinity photo, Capture One Pro, Luminar 3 and Aurora HDR. With these I can do everything I need to. And I use the free version of Davinci Resolve to create my RUclips videos.
@@ScottWilliamsPhotography A couple of questions - Does Affinity have channels? Are the software packages that you use able to read each other's files? Thanks.
@@ScottWilliamsPhotography Thanks. Good news on all counts. I heard that Affinity can be used on iPads, which is great, and now as of a day or two ago iPad's operating system is going to be able to do 2 out of 3 things that held me back: a file manager and native support for file transfer via thumb drive. Do you have a video that discusses all 4 of the retouching programs that you use and how each has something to offer that the others don't?
@@ScottWilliamsPhotography hi is it possible for you to create a video on your workflow for a portrait image .. you start in capture one 12 .. then edit blemishes in affinity .. back to capture ond 12 or luminar .. that would be really helpful .. i have capture one 12 and recently got affinity .. just figuring out a way on efficient workflow.. thanks again
great explanation! a real example that combines both sides would be nice as well... and... please stop that background-music 😉 it almost drove me crazy...

Great to hear!
I didn't realise you could apply the effect to adjustment layers too, very interesting! Subbed
Welcome aboard. I really is a great feature. I use it often.
Finally I get it! Thanks Scott, your simple worked examples with the fill and gradient layres make this so much easier to follow than the other atempts that I've looked at based on live images which are a little too complex to actually be sure what's happening. I'm off to try this out now.
I'm glad it helped Mark. Blend ranges are really powerful. Once you get used to them they are very useful.

Thank you. I hope you find these tutorials and tips useful.

Thank you Jim. I do try to be clear an concise. Though it can be challenging when I have a midlands accent. I use my telephone voice 😀
This is the best explanation on blend ranges I've seen so far. Thanks so much :)
Thank you very much 😃

Thank you. I'm pleased you found it useful.
Oh, and I will try to get the level of the background music right 😊
Please no music. Very clear tutorial, nice quiet and relaxed voice. @@ScottWilliamsPhotography
I found the music very pleasing and introducing a relaxing atmosphere 👍
Great tutorial Scott. Thank you. Nice, clear and concise. That has helped me understand a feature in Affinity Photo that I’ve never quite understood so have never used. Have subscribed.
Thank you very much for the comment. It really makes my day when I know my tutorials have helped someone.
Finally I understand the blend ranges!
Glad to be of help.

You are very welcome Robert. I do try my best to make things as clear as possible. Thank you for taking the time to comment. 👍 👍 👍
Another great tutorial,well presented. Thank you.
Thank you very much Ian. I'm slowly getting the hang of making these tutorials.
My pleasure Scott! If you happen to use a Wacom tablet I would be greatful for a tutorial on how to set it up properly with Affinity Photo (pen pressure).
Good idea. I will put that on my list of tutorials.

A great vid. In the beginning when you were showing black to white to color gradients, can these be saved styles or presets? Thanks in advance for any replies.
Cheers Ted. As far as I know gradients cannot be saved as presets.
Thanks for this. Was looking at using luminosity masks in affinity but I think this gives you better control and targeting. excellent tutorial
It is very powerful. We just need Affinity to give us a way to select a colour range.👍
very informative and well structured explanation, thank you very much Scott. your tutorials are very helpful in understanding affinity photo much better and clearer.
Thank you Nadeem. And thank you for taking the time to comment.
Super helpful tutorial, thank you for your wisdom!
My pleasure!
Very informative video. thanks for sharing
My pleasure.
superb tutorial. seemed easier to control than in photoshop
I love Affinity Photo. I used Photoshop for years and had no problems at all switching. I think it is easier to use.

Affinity does have channels and Capture One can export to affinity for round trip editing.

I heard that Affinity can be used on iPads, which is great, and now as of a day or two ago iPad's operating system is going to be able to do 2 out of 3 things that held me back: a file manager and native support for file transfer via thumb drive.
Do you have a video that discusses all 4 of the retouching programs that you use and how each has something to offer that the others don't?
Not at the moment but it is a really good idea..
Excellent explanations !! Many thanks.
