Photoshop vs Affinity Photo: Ultimate Masking Showdown!

Today, we’ll be talking about masking. Specifically, I’ll be comparing the best of masking in Photoshop and its primary rival, Affinity Photo. Hint: Photoshop is great at creating masks; Affinity Photo is great at putting them to work.

I have always* used compound masks in PS by making groups.
* not always, but you know what I mean

Hi Deke. That is amazing. But I'm gonna go off topic here and just add a wish I've always had with Affinity Photo: Can you suggest to them to invent a separate luminosity masking plugin or maybe permit a brilliant mind out there to access their codes, so someone could make such a plugin? Photoshop has tons of folks who have made these panels and are simply brilliant. If someone did that for Affinity Photo, I'd move in a blink of an eye man!

Sincerely hope Serif _is_ watching. That Canva money needs to be spent wisely.
Edit: Also, Lynda style Masking and Compositing course for Affinity when? Also any plans on Designer/Illustrator comparison/contrasting videos?
