I have a question about masking and drop shadows. For the past 20 years I’ve been outlining the object, dropping the background, and adding a fake shadow. Recently I’ve been searching better ways and maintain the natural shadow all the while removing the background. IE: A bottle shot on a white background. When I place the image over a white background and apply MULTIPLY the results look great. However, is there a way to get this same result on a colored background ? When I do the above with the MULTIPLY on the image over a colored background, the subject changes color. Thanks

I need more practice 😊

great video - thank you

This is an excellent video! Thank you so much

Thanks for the live stream. Even though I know a lot of things now, there are always techniques that I have forgotten or perhaps simply didn't understand properly, which are explained. I've had a long break from LUTs and have now discovered them again. I have no problem working with them and no problem creating them either. But I haven't figured out how exactly they work. Even the name "Look-Up Table" makes no sense to me. Maybe that would also be a topic.

Thank you for this tutorial! I've just finished it after years of laziness. I finally feel at ease and I really feel like I understand a lot of the software!

Unbelievable!

Could you please make a tutorial about CMYK and RGB printing? When to use which one of them? Thanks! BTW, your tutorials are great. Very clear and coherent.

Hi Trent, Any chance you'd know whether Affinity software will work on the new iPad pro M4 2024? I know it works on iPads in general but just wondering if it will on this brand new model?

Can you take a mask that was made in affinity photo and make new mask in affinity designer and make a shape with it

Really helpful! Thanks! I design landscapes and this should work!

Thanks!

Super helpful - thank you!

Morning Trent. Which do you like better Design or Photo? Is there one better at one task than the other. I was doing some design in Photo yesterday, making up cover photo and art work for it, a 2nd screen shot insert, 3d text, beveling, that kinda stuff.

Why did you start with tools rather than explaining how layers are used?

Dear Trent. I'm studying biology and Affinity Designer was recommended to me by a lecturer. I was able to learn a lot of basics through your tutorial, but unfortunately I keep failing because of one problem. When I try to draw a lipid membrane I do the following: (www.u-helmich.de/bio/cytologie/02/021/Lipide/bilder/Membranlipide-01.jpg ; reference) - First I create a circle with radial gradient - After that I create a tail with a slight bend - I'll duplicate this one and paste it next to the other one - I group the circle and the two tails into a "phospholipid" group - I duplicate this group and flip it vertically - I group these two phospholipids again, select them and save the selection as a PNG -Now I add a new "textured image brush" based on the PNG. - I change the mode from Streched to Repeat. If I now create a straight line and use the brush on it, everything is fine, I can change the size etc. But as soon as I make rounds/shapes with twists, the size is distorted, especially the circles. I've tried to change something at many levels of regulation, but unfortunately I haven't come to any conclusion. Unfortunately, I can't find many tutorials on explicit scientific drawings for Affinity Designers either. Do you have any idea how I can create a kind of "Vector Brush" that is an actual vector? The scaling should not be distorted. Kind regards and thank you for your great videos!

You going to start any OBS tutorials. LOL You use the mouse zoom?

thank you!

I don't have Simply Flat icons, by Anatolli Babii in my assets panel???

Thanks a lot, this was so helpful while switching from AI! Do you happen to have or are willing to make a crash course for Affinity Photo as well?

Really interesting and broken down so well - many thanks

Super helpful! What do you press to check the scale? You were rolling through that pretty quickly and I couldn't see your command. Thank you so much!

Hi Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and giving your time to making this video. I just would love it if you could maybe split this video into 2 parts and talk and explain slower! for a beginner it was too much info too fast. Thanx again!

I hope they wouldn't increasing the price before i can buy it

Damn I forgot you were on :( sorry m8

this is the second good perspective podcast on Designer. But maybe a topic in Affinity where we have a bad perspective in the photo (lens defect), e.g. of a tall building and we need to correct it, HOW? I can do it in PS, but I've switched to Affinity and I don't know everything (the worst are RGB channels, in PS it was much, much better)

Mother’s Day here today so I didn’t get to see it live!

I think Average blend mode does some addition|subtraction, because when you use it on three layers it looks like 33% which, yeah, you can do with Opacity but it does it for you. & it doesn't make the layers semitransparent like opacity. I like it for mild desaturation.

This will come in handy for me. Thanks.

I have a lot of assets in version 1, but they didn't transfer to version 2. It's a shame that v2 (mac) doesn't have the option to load settings, assets, brusher, etc... there's no point in writing the settings of tools and panels. Version 1 is still faster anyway, has a much nicer GUI, normal icons in the tools (the coloring pages from version 2 are all the same).

Thank you. This makes my workflow much easier.

Great Vid again, Would be nice if Serif maybe added a dialog box with an option to unlink to the Delete Asset buttong to or perhaps just add in an unlink tab instead. I know this isn's anything major but it could help with accidentally deleting something by mistake. Cheers

I always learn something from you Trent! Thank you.

You are moving too fast for those who have limited knowledge. Start off by explaining what you wish to achieve. Next speak slowly and move through the steps one by one . I did not find this training video helpful . review your script and try not to include all the variables . Who are you targeting with your video, suggest you include that in your title.

Very good explanations. Thanks!

Great tutorial, Trent.. great tip to linking assets to the 3 apps!

The problem with assets you download from the internet is that they don't always offer the option to link them to th other apps. I have a couple where the link option is greyed out.

Hello, I have a question: where are Assets items physically placed on the disk and can I influence where they are stored?

I use iPad the most so do you have to turn the feature on for automatically adding to publisher and photo as well? I can’t find it!

Thanks Trent such great video! Never thought of using Creative Fabrica’s Canva graphics to make more Assets! What a great new process I will have loads of fun with!

Thanks for this. I created an asset for my signature. I had created a brush but had to go in and select it or deselect if I was actually 'brushing'. Now, I can simply drop my signature asset in. It now has a frame around it too! It's a shame the assets panel takes up so much real estate. It's extra steps to show and hide it at the end of my editing. Another day of learning. ❤️👍

Wow, this was so good! Right to the point and very easy to actually understand!

Thanks Trent, good overview. I really should be using this panel more...

A few small tips to people who use Designer/Publisher. You can save Symbols in the Assets panel. You can also do layer stacks of anything like filters, layer hierarchies etc. and make a Group which can then be saved as an Asset. Those can then be converted to bitmap fills by dragging an Asset into the top toolbar fill slots for any vector shape.

Another good tutorial. Thanks. I wasn't aware there was a search function inside assets.

I just discovered Affinity literally 3 days before the Canva announcement. I'm holding off buying until I know how canva is going to integrate it (I'm pretty committedto the Canva ecosystem at this point), but I'm so so excited. If Canva takes forever to bring Affinity on board I'm going to buy it anyway. This assets panel is amazing, I cannot wait to have it available to me

Thanks Trent...........Can I make a request? ? Thumbnails, i need to become a master YT thumbnail maker................Video game screen shots, couple different screen shots, blend in characters, and not spend a lot of time doing it.

Puoi trascinare anche l'intera cartella che contiene gli asset che vuoi inserire

I recently purchased the Affinity suite during the spring sale. I have a ton of "assets" in the form of Inkscape symbol files and was wondering how I could bring them over into Affinity. Thanks for the video.
