Hi nice video, very helpful. I think you can you use Perspective tool under Live Filter to an embedded document without razterizing the image 👍

[@OlivioSarikas]

OMG!!!! I had no idea that works. Thank you xparda!!! I'm going to pin your comment so others can see it too :)

[@PatriciaGreen]

Great information. And the outtakes were so much fun!

[@OlivioSarikas]

Thank you, Patricia :)

5:30 I think you can do it in Affinity Designer, using isometric tools. Create grid with desired angle and fit image or affinity photo file to that grid.

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi Mustello8, i have since been told by my community that there is a live filter for perspective that can do that. I put it in one of my videos you can find it here: ruclips.net/video/hD3s0jq2SpY/видео.html

Loved the video and the outtakes at the end.

[@dodger2876]

Vielen Dank für das tolle Tutorial. Schaue Deine Videos sehr gerne! Habe das eben mit einem eingebetteten Smartphone ausprobiert. Für den ersten Versuch nicht schlecht geworden. Welches freigestellte Stock-Foto hast Du für das Telefon verwendet?

[@OlivioSarikas]

Danke dir Dodger :) Ich hab leider keine Ahnung mehr welches Foto ich da verwendet habe. Es ist aber entweder von Unsplash oder von Pixabay. Warscheinlich eher letzters

[@demasistudios]

Selective sharpening for portraits on affinity photo iPad please.

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi DeMasi, i don't have a iPad, so i sadly can't do tutorials for that.

[@demasistudios]

Olivio Sarikas ok thanks

[@freakinographyentertainmen1936]

Awesome

[@lynncocksedge908]

I was hoping you were going to show us how you got the image effect on the image at the beginning of the tutorial. I have no idea how to do that

[@blueknight9748]

can you select subject with one click like in Adobe???

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi bluekinght, sorry, i don't know what you mean by that questions. can you rephrase it please and also use a timecode to the part of the video you mean

[@morganhazard]

Have you tried putting the perspective grid on the Clone layer?
I think I saw that somewhere when making a mock-up.

[@OlivioSarikas]

You mean inside the embedded document? you can use perspective grid inside there, but it also will rasterize the image and not automatically perspective correct all images you drag in there after that. As far as i know the pserspective tool will always rasterize the layer you apply it to.

[@morganhazard]

@@OlivioSarikas Have looked it up now. It wasn't necessary to put it on the clone layer. You have to use the live perspective filter.
Make a group and put the live filters on that group. Then every objekt you place inside the group get the same perspective. You probably have to scale the object a bit to match.

[@morganhazard]

And Of course you can put live effects on the group too. (for matching colour etc).
Mask the "Main shape" to get clean line. That way you don't need to be that careful when scaling the objects.

[@SatiriCus-Doc-GermaniCus]

Klasse! Aber nu weiss ich immer noch nicht, wie Du das mit dem Smartphone gemacht hast! :-)

[@OlivioSarikas]

Naja, du nimmt zwei dieser embedded layer in verschiedenen größen und dann machst du ne Maske über den Smartphone screen damit da ein loch drin ist und ne zweite maske auf den kleineren embedded layer hinter dem phone damit das bild nicht rechts und links raus schaut. dann noch bisschen die farben anpassen und fertig :)

[@SatiriCus-Doc-GermaniCus]

@@OlivioSarikas OK :-)
Danke!

[@Prince_Charming_1]

Awesome!

[@OlivioSarikas]

Thank you, Khmu :)

[@aleale11000]

[@winter_metal]

Me : How about mask?
