Another typically clear and informative tutorial from Robin. Thanks and keep up the great work. You more than any other RUclipsr have helped me get to grips with Affinity Photo.
@@michaelhoskins2367 Don;t worry, that's exactly what I read. It's great to hear that the book and videos are working for you. Good luck with your efforts to learn more.
What does a luminosity mask do. Please try to explain what and why you do something before starting. Struggling with understanding luminosity mask and when to use it and why. Pls clarify.
Luminosity Masks are an advanced subject. I would suggest you don’t try to tackle this yet if you don’t already know what they do. It’s probably not the right video for you at this time. You may be better visiting my lenscraft website and reading some of the introductory tutorials about masks and masking.
Hi Robin, I loved hearing your Manchester pronunciation , identical almost to my Cheshire accent, even after 37 years in Germany. However - I have to draw the line at your pronunciation of "Gaussian" as "Gaysian" - the pronunciation is phonetically "Gouwsian" as in (Northern slang) "nouse" after the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauß (Gowse??). Thanks a lot, enjoyed the video
Here's a mnemonic to remember the color of the brush when applied to a mask: Black/Conceals, White/Reveals in other words, whatever effect you have masked will be concealed by a Black brush and revealed by a White brush.
I believe AF is a bit far in usability from C1 luminosity masks, for instance. I guess this highly interesting part of retouching will be vastly improved by the developers of AF in future releases Thanks Robin
But there are other alternatives in Affinity Photo that you can use. Watch my Range Blending videos (ruclips.net/video/uaZKayQZn-c/видео.html) to see a much more powerful alternative.
Is there a way to make adjustments to the tonal range selection? I was hoping for a threshold slider to increase/decrease the Luminosity selection. Thanks.
Not very easily using this method of selecting tones. You may want to combine it with the Blending Ranges feature I demoinstrate here (ruclips.net/video/uaZKayQZn-c/видео.html).
Never understood masks and still don't. I get completely lost even at the first stage, which means I cannot get anywhere with Affinity or any other editing suite. I had the same problem with video editing, avoiding using masks in four years of using FXPX. I simply do not understand the concept behind them and quickly lose or destroy an image when trying to experiment.
Hello? I am a Korean. Not a book about Affinity Photo has been published in our country. There are tutorials made by Korean RUclipsrs, but they are not as high as yours. Please describe it with an easy word. I am not good in English. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Your English is much better than my Korean. I do try to keep my words short and I like to include subtitles to help anyone who doesn’t speak English as a second language. 내 비디오를 계속 즐기시 길 바랍니다.
Probably the best demonstration of masking I have ever watched.
Just bought your ebook to put a couple of bucks in your pocket. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. Much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the book and find it helpful.
Very easy, clearly explained and good tip about using gaussian blur filter to smooth mask´s borders. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you.

Wow, thanks! I'm very pleased the videos have helped you.
I learned more about masks from this well structured tutorial - thanks Robin ✅
Great to hear. Thank you.
absolutely brilliant
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
This video earned a Like, sub and all. First lesson I've seen if yours and I had no clue about the color selection options in the menu.
Glad it helped! Be sure to watch some of my more recent Affinity Videos. I have quite a few you might find interesting.
@@RobinWhalley You can be sure I'll be bingeing on them at every opportunity.
Thank you so much!
Excellent Robin,very clear and concise.Keep up the good work.
Thanks John. There are still more to come.
I enjoyed this video and hope you will go a bit further with the luminosity masking ability of Affinity Photo. Thanks for sharing
Thanks. I will see what I can do in the future.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much for sharing !
You are welcome!
Once again a very incite-full video, goes well with the book Essential Affinity Photo: Image editing ......
Thank you and thanks for buying my book.
Sorry should have used insightful and/or inspirational. Have learned more about Affinity in the last 3 weeks than I did on my own previous 2 years.

I know. I know. I just got in the habit of saying it wrong a long time ago and keep forgetting.
@@RobinWhalley If you manage to pronounce Löwenbräu, Aldi and Lidl correctly, you'll be the only British person (apart from me) who can
@@Glasairman haha!

And don't forget "Grey is in between"

This tutorial may help but I can't promise lenscraft.co.uk/photo-editing-tutorials/tutorial-understanding-photoshop-masks/
@@RobinWhalley Thank you. I'm sure I am over thinking things - I'll take a look.
