Making Lights Glow in Affinity Photo Even When They're Off

- Welcome to this tutorial on how to convert a daytime photo into a nighttime scene using Affinity Photo. In this video, I will demonstrate how to create a moody, atmospheric nighttime image from a regular, everyday photo.
We will begin by using the tools in the Affinity Photo Develop Persona to adjust the exposure and white balance to produce a nighttime feel. We then apply selective adjustments to make lights and neon signs brighter. After that, you will learn how to use a brush in the Photo Persona to paint light sources and make them look realistic. We'll also look at how to make the colours in the photo more vivid and saturated by changing the Blend Mode of some adjustments.
By the end of this video, you will have the skills to transform your everyday photos into night scenes with lights, neon signs, and a moody atmosphere. This is a great way to make an ordinary image look extraordinary. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Very nice effect, thank you. Just one remark. Since each adjustment layer has its own mask, you don't need to add one. After setting the value for an adjustment invert the adjustment layer (cmd-I) and use a white paintbrush to draw back in the effect, This should work in the same way without additional mask layers.
Ah, there is a reason for adding separate masks. Affinity allows me to combine multiple masks and mask a mask with another. That’s why I do it even though I didn’t use the technique in the video. it’s a habit I’ve picked up to ensure flexibility.
That's a great effect. Thanks for the helpful video.
No problem. I'm glad you like it.
Very helpful, thanks for suporting also Affinity Photo users! And I learned a bit on how to get something similar to a LR radiant mask
Glad it was helpful. Thank you
Another great video many thanks from an Affinity user.
You're very welcome.
Very cool, convincing effect
Thank you.
Thank you, for your helpful video.
Glad it was helpful. Thank you
Again a great concise, clear video with amazing creative resources. Just a question, related to go and back to Develop Persona: knowing the flexibility of raw file, nevertheless, do not you think that working global EXPOSURE and WB in Photo Persona instead DEVELOP persona is worth, just for a no professional photographer in terms of quality file? Many thanks in advance.
Thanks. It took a bit of experimentation to come up with this process. I found that when I used just the Develop Persona or just the Photo Persona the results didn't look convincing. I then found myself applying more complex edits to fix those problems. Try it by all means but the process I showed is the one that gave me the best results with the images I tried.
Hello Robin.I see your using Affinity version two.But I'm still using version one.Will this still work in version one ?.(I don't actually use Affinity a lot.Although I use my cameras a fair bit I don't want to sit for hours in front of my computer so generally do quick edits)
Yes, it will work with version 1 as well. Most things will. Version 2 had some great new and useful features but version 1 is still excellent software.
Very interesting and informative ! But as I am not yet familiar with Affinity Photo, your explanations are a bit too quick for me ; moreover, I am not a native english spoker. Thanks all the same !
Why not slow the video down in the RUclips player and turn on the Closed Captions. The caption subtitles are in renglish but you may be able to follow it better by setting the play speed to 50% and turning off the sound.
Do you find the gradients are better for this type of effect than using Photo's lighting Live filter (particularly with the same image as a bump map)? Thanks.
I tried the live filter approach but found the method in the video worked better for me.
