    I'm beginning to use these tools in my bird photography processing. This is the clearest explanation I've found yet on what they do and how to use them well.

      Yeah, I could definitely see it being useful with bird photography. Especially for removing distracting elements like leaves, small branches, or bugs, etc…

    The Inpainting brush is frankly, magic.

      Haha! Sometimes it really is. But there are definitely times where it gets confused, so it’s good to know how to work around those situations.

      You’re the first person who commented about the crown removal. Thanks for watching till that part of the video! It does take a little time, but just using some of the basic tools, you can pretty much remove anything.

    Another great video! I recently used the patch tool for the first time in a portrait retouch while using frequency separation. After everything was done I felt like there were a few spots that were "muddled", if that makes sense... using it on the high frequency layer to borrow texture from other parts of the skin remedied the situation well. Thanks for all the info you provide!

    • @brgphotography
      @brgphotography  3 месяца назад +2

      Thank you! Yeah. The patch tool is a definitely a powerful tool, and after making this video I could see myself using it more.
      Yeah. That’s always the danger when you start doing too much clone/healing is things can start to look blurry/muddy like you said. That why I usually just close stamp with a relatively hard edge brush, then fix brightness and color issues later with dodge and burn or HSL.
      But the texture only on the patch tool is really handy.

      Yeah, I mainly use affinity photo for portrait retouching, and photo editing, so it does everything I need to do, and more! I also do use it for doing some graphic design, and I’ll actually have a fun video about that coming out soon, and even for that, it works amazingly.
      Looks like adobe finally has a worthy competitor!

    A very welldone demonstration, thank you! I have a question not directly related to the topic: I often have a problem seeing the cursor (with most tools). When you use the cursor, there seems to be a nice circle around the actual cursor. I would dearly love to have that. I use Windows 10 on a PC, and I get the impression that you also use Windows. How is it done?

    • @brgphotography
      @brgphotography  4 дня назад

      Hi there! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
      Well, the circle you might be seeing only shows up when I’m recording my screen to make videos. (I think it’s there to make the cursor easy to see when doing screen recording,) but it’s not actually there when I’m usually working.
      But if you want the curser to be bigger in Windows 10 (across your whole system including Affinity) you can go the settings app (in windows 10) then select Ease of Access, then Cursor and Pointer. There you should be able to adjust the size and color of your cursor to make it easier to see!
      I hope this helps!

    How did you do the keyboard rotate at about 11.44.
    I've used the rotation function but by trial and error inputting angles, and it's not at all practical. Rotating while placing is just what I need.

    Your Affinity videos are pretty close to coming over and sitting down with a user personally. Affinity should be looking closely at you.

      Those are really kind words! Thanks you. I think because it takes me time to learn certain concepts, I try to teach with really easy to understand examples, and at a pace that’s easy to follow.
      Comments like yours motivate to continue making more videos! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

      @@brgphotography Many help videos are done in a perfunctory manner with the thinking we want the briefest possible explanation. I appreciate brevity, but complex software needs a bit more of a real-time ‘let’s do this together’ approach, in your style. I have written technical manuals for many years, getting feedback along the way and seeing where I fail the reader. There’s a high probability of presumption when writing for print and I’ve come to appreciate the few who standout when it comes to communicating. It seems intuitive to you so, follow your instincts for future work.

      @artysanmobile thank you very much! That really makes me feel a lot better!
      I’m sure a lot of the bigger channels, who use money from RUclips as a main source of income, are probably trying to finesse the algorithm the best they can, and just put out as much content, as quickly as possible. Usually resulting in quickly explain, or oversimplified methods for concepts that should be explained more thoroughly.
      So I tried to adopt a more opposite approach. Because you’re right. Some of these things just take time to work through. It’s not something that can be explained really quickly. Honestly, I always go in trying to make my explanations as concise, and quick as possible, but they always end up being 20 or30 minutes long. Lol
      So reading a comment like yours reminds me I don’t have to try to speed through everything just to make a more clickable video. I’m happy to take my time and work through it with the viewer.
      It can just be a little bit harder these days, with everybody’s attention span being so short.
