I hope you enjoy the new outro! 😊
We do :)
Came for the excellent tutorial; stayed for the cute outro. :-)
Loved the outro!
Ally! That is you singing! 👏👏 I simply
LOVE it! ❤️❤️
Really love your voice! Please make a new intro!
Still relevant three years later. As a novice, I was able to create our 5x10 collage quickly. Great help on the learning curve ! Thanks.
I'm glad the video helped you. 😊
Ahhhh! This tutorial, as well as your others, has made my stumbling blocks much more easier to navigate now. I cannot believe the ease of this now where I over complicated the whole process on my last attempt, quickly giving up and taking it to a different app that allowed collage but limited how I could use their function. Thank you!
I'm glad it helped! 😊
Thank You very much.😍😍
This channel taught me a lot.
Not only for affinity but also about image editing in general.
Hope you have a great day🥳🥳🥳
Yay! I'm glad you're learning so much. 😊
You are the best! Absolutely brilliant video. I have made 2 layouts of my own using your technique. Keep up the good work!
That's great to hear! I'm glad you could make your own. 😊
I love the way how you explain it and guide users through the process of designing. Great voice and very useful keyboard shortcuts.

Suggestion for another video: dual lighting tutorial
Looks cool! Thanks for the idea. 😊
Nice, great tutorial. Was about to check out till i saw your comment below. Glad i stuck around for the outro, love the uke, very sweet, definitely needs some keys and synthesizers in there, ha just kidding, will check the coarse out for sure🙏
Haha I'll be sure to add some synths next time! 😉
Wow! Wasn't that fun! Just what I wanted to do. I was cursin' ya for a minute Ally! Things weren't happening according to your instructions but then I realized I started with a transparent image and could not match you step by step since I couldn't see the objects :-)
Thanks! My wife loves playing her Uke!
Ahh, so frustrating! I'm glad you got it figured out though. 😊
Excellent thanks 👌
You're welcome! Glad you liked the video. 😊
Bravo beautifully clear.
Thank you! 😊
Very Nice! Fun to learn about collages, BUT the steps you show are also reinforcers to show how to work with layers as well.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
You have just solved a problem thanks
Glad you liked it! 😊
Thanks for those intuitive contents! Need some help on how to create macros on the iPad version
Good idea for a future video. 😊
This was cool!
Thank you! Glad you liked it. 😊
Flippin excellent
Thank you! 😊
great tutorial! but wondering if it is possible to make a collage will all kind of different shapes and not only rectangles and circles? thanks! :D
Yes, you can use any shapes you want. :)
As usual this tutorial is really helpful! The only point I couldn't quite get was how you could get white from the colour wheel patch!
White is on the very tip of the color triangle. 🙂
@@AffinityRevolution Thank you so much! I could never have figured that out on my own!
Thank you
Thanks Kevin! :)
this is some quality asmr
Haha thank you! 😅
Awesome
Thank you Greg! Glad you liked it. 😊
I love your videos and have learned a lot, but I'm stuck on this one. I can get to the place in the fx panel where I change it to center from outside but when I click it the outline disappears. My fx panel looks the same as yours, I don't know what I'm missing.
Hmmm... it's hard for me to know what's going wrong without being able to see your screen. I'd post your question with a screenshot on the Affinity forums: forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/5-affinity-on-desktop-questions-mac-and-windows/
Amazing
Thank you! Glad you liked it. 😊
Thank you! I'm using Affinity Photo for iPad. I got almost everything to behave as you described, except for the outer border. I did everything in exactly the same order as yourself, and the dialogue boxes for the layer outline function were identical to yours, but nothing appeared. Outline, Inside alignment, solid colour - white, radius set to 20 px, Opacity reducted to zero. Blend mode to normal. Do you have any suggestions? Many thanks.
Seems I've found my answer. When setting up the borders for the partial frames, I need to have the alignment set to Centre. Then when creating the overall border I need to set the alignment to Inside, the Fill Opacity to zero, and the border opacity to 100%, then set the radius. This worked on a new creation but failed to work retrospectively on my first try. Seems I need to get it right first time!!!
I'm glad you got it to work! Affinity can be a little frustrating at times. 😅
Perfect timing just wanted to make a collage
I hope this video helps you! 😊
@@AffinityRevolution Amazing! Very helpful indeed. Do you also have a video for blurred edges/edges than fit into the photo it's pasted into?
@@philipt.8890 Sorry, I don't have a video on that topic. Thanks for the idea!
Very good and absolut nice outro.. 😀
Thank you! 😄
@@AffinityRevolution... Greetings and Blessings from South Germany.
What would you guys recommend if I only have 1080x1920 images as opposed to 1920x1080? Great video as always!
Hmm.. I'm not sure. I haven't made any vertical collages. You could try looking on Pinterest/Google for ideas.
After a minute of searching, I found this idea on Google that I thought looked good. :)

@@AffinityRevolution you guys are seriously amazing! Thank you in providing help to us newbies!
What can I do to make bigger the bottom of the frame ???. I want to put a foot note in there
I recommend you make the collage as shown in this video, and then export your collage as a JPEG. Then import that JPEG into Affinity, and use the Crop Tool to crop downwards. Then you can add your footnote at the bottom. 😊
I have his working but all is in grayscale including the pictures. How do I get colour back in my pictures?
Hmm... I'm not sure. You might have used the Channels Panel to change it to greyscale. I'd close your current document, and open a new one, since I'm not 100% sure how you made it greyscale. If you did use the Channel Panel though, you can reset the colors by pressing the circular arrow icon at the top right of the panel.
Problem: Unfortunately, when I select "Outline" in the "Layer Effects" dialog box I do not get the choices that you do. The only thing I can manipulate is "Radius". I cannot select color, position, etc. Also, when I move the "Radius" slider, the program automatically chooses "Gaussian Blur" in addition to "Outline". Any suggestions!
Hmmm... it's hard for me to know what's going wrong without being able to see your screen. I'd post your question with a screenshot on the Affinity forums: forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/5-affinity-on-desktop-questions-mac-and-windows/
@@AffinityRevolution Thank you. I've posted my question on the forum and attached a screen shot.
Very nice tutorial Ally, how is Ezra doing?. Keeping well I hope
He is doing pretty good, but his voice is still hurting. He's going in for more testing next week. 😕
outro very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very awesome
Thank you so much! 😄
if I want to do the same job but starting only one raw photo and then duplicating it without exporting and repositioning it? the only one I found is to use designer together.I can't develop the raw, create a new doc, copy raw inside the new doc without having crop problems
Hmm... sorry, I don't understand. Why can't you export the photo, and then open the photo inside a document?
@@AffinityRevolution I solved. just paste the image into a square and this can be resized. in photoshop I can copy a layer, create a new doc. paste and resize doc. in affinity this technique does not work poses crop problems. greetings and apologies for translation
You guys should upload more videos for iPad, I think there is enough for MacBook!
Ya, we have been thinking about making more iPad videos. Thanks for the feedback! 😊
What's the difference between the outline effect and just setting a stroke for the shape?
Oh
You could use a stroke, but I like using the outline effect because it lets me change the "stroke" of all the shapes at once. 🙂
I have this program but I still have no idea how to make a simple collage using scrapbook kits and my own images. Where do I even start? I have been using a simple scrapbook program up till now and this seems unbelievably difficult. I want to expand my knowledge but at this point I am stumped.
Affinity takes some time to learn, but it gets easier with practice. Don't give up!
@@AffinityRevolution Thanks for the encouragement. Could you one day do a video on how to make collages using PNGs? I have used your Craft Artist for ages but I wanted to challenge myself.
How did you size the document please can you tell me quickly please
You can use the Crop Tool to crop outwards. 😊
@@AffinityRevolution thank you soooo much
This is the tutorial I’ve been waiting for!!! Beautiful collage. What size of collage (in inches) will be printed if it is 1920x1080? How do you calculate that?
Instead of using pixels, you can make a new document that's set to a particular size based on inches. So if you make a document that's 5 x 7 inches, then that's the size it will print at. 🙂
Omg please make a tutorial that gives a vector cartoon effect to a photo
Good idea! :)
Give him my best Regards and hope he feels better soon
Thank you, I will.
If anyone has done this in PS, you will know how much easier and more intuitive Affinity Photo is.
I agree! 😊
I guess I'm the only who got stock at the "divide" explanation at 1:39
Were you not able to divide your rectangle?
I hope one collage make a picture with a lot of pictures .
I don't think Affinity can do that, but there are free mosaic makers online.
Affinity Revolution thank you . Love your videos .
Affinity Revolution Are there any apps that do mosaic collages?
Some serious slight-of-hand happening at the 2:10 mark as different layers are being magically selected while the mouse remains and moves rectangles around in the main window. It took a bit of Googling to figure out how you did that. I’m guessing you two run a mean game of Three Card Monte as well. #JustTakeMyMoney
Haha I wasn't trying to be sly! 😅
🙏👍😃.
Thank you! 😊
has anyone ever tried to do one of these samples? this does not work at all I get empty shapes the fracking thing resizes the images remove don't see any images and my shapes it is very frustrating.

The Chicago Area Photo clubs are having a postcard contest, I planning to use this for one of my postcard. On another note, I was trying to make a macro of the set up, but was having trouble.
Everything goes wrong at 6:50 for me. I drag the photo to the right of the shape and after that it is no longer visible. The layer is there but the photo is not visible "through" the rectangle.
