What kind of tutorial do you want to see next? :)

[@ck1425]

How do we make a 3D book cover for Kindle?

[@ck1425]

As many under 5 minute tutorials as possible for my short attention spanned mind

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi Blue Wizard, there is no Perspective tool in AD, sorry :(

[@ronnyb5890]

some photo composition demos in AP, and how to create electrical diagrams (symbols) in AD pls

[@David66Stang]

Blue Wizard perhaps isometric grid is close!

[@howlinmad03]

Super cool tricks!

[@OlivioSarikas]

Thank you, howli :)

[@annewatman677]

You make Affinity so much fun!

[@OlivioSarikas]

Thank you, Anne. That's great to hear :)

[@adamn4406]

How many times do I need to watch the same video until I can actually remember all of your amazing tips?

[@PierGiorgioZuccaro]

good tricks

+Olivio Sarikas WOW! never learned so much in 10 minutes :D i mean for real... i tryed all of this directly on my own and this just works fine and super simple :D Thank you Redbeard!

[@robionbaggini6260]

I learned much from this tutorial. I particularly like it when you link the pics used in the description.

[@Katie-fq1ux]

A tutorial on how to colour grey sideburns without changing hair colour please.

[@mdmia5148]

Please make Affinity Publisher series tutorial soon

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi Mia, i will try to get to that topic soon :)

[@blender_wiki]

Second trick: never ever put color dominance in the deep shadows or in specular highlight or the image look really fake. Black(0-16) must be black and white (248-255) must be white.
Otherwise you end up with cheap smartphone app effects. Is taking 15 more second doit but is 10000 better.

[@mikesrandomchannel]

That first hack… GENIUS. And the idea of comping pics to solve specific issues like sunsets is also so useful. Thank you!

[@alokeggenberger713]

Thank you for your tutorials. I tried to import a stock photo but I could not find a way to adjust the size. Am I missing something?

[@TheRedValue]

Dirty as hell but super effective. Loved the tricks!

[@steven__stark2502]

wow, helpful video thanks for making it and making our life easy

[@Eljulitus]

I usually make sunset pictures to rainy days. Love the sound and the visual of rain :)

[@RandomZindagi]

Thanks, dear. Very nice tutorial

[@pauleaton2008]

Found your channel a couple of days ago, brilliant, I like your style and clear presentation. One of my go to channels now.

[@okaymotion]

Hello Sir,
I’d like to tell you that I love your tutorials. They are always on point.
I am currently having difficulties editing a picture I took of a couple during sunset. I was testing my AD200 OCF. The picture came out fine but ...
Would be able to do a tutorial on how to make it better ? Or can you do a
Private/paid tutorial ? Thank you

[@timoteiafanasie4894]

You colored your beard in post??? :-)))

[@Motif-ct5ts]

Thanks for sharing your very helpful tricks and tutorials - learning a lot and appreciate it !!
Are you also work on an iPad? If so, could you do tutorials for iPad users like me?
Have a great year und bleib gesund.
Take care, Dietmar

[@OlivioSarikas]

Sorry, i don't have a iPad :)

[@jimbean532]

I would like to see an example of exposure blending of two images with different exposures. Thanks!

[@andrexskin]

Man I was hooked into watching this video, I think some edits were a little too much for my taste but MAN, the nightshot. Loved it

[@OlivioSarikas]

Thank you :)

[@ianbrowne9304]

Thanks again Mate --- I must say I do like the quick tips.

[@OlivioSarikas]

Thank you, Ian. Happy i could help :)

[@annas4786]

I really like all of your videos! they are so helpful. I was wondering if you have a video on how to use Affinity tools for any sort of animation? for ex. GIFs I think are really nice to have on instagram to catch people's eyes, but I'm not sure if Affinity has such a tool? Thank you!

[@RobertFischer_SR]

Machst du 360°photo und bearbeitest diese? Ich mach das und glaub viele würde diese Funktion sehr interessieren... Grüße aus Niederbayern

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi Rofischerl, hm... hab ich in Affinity Photo noch nicht probiert. Ist aber ein interessantes Thema. Vor allem Ideen wie man sowas sinnvoll einsetzen kann :)

[@castielvargastv7931]

Olivio Sarikas wow du redest ja deutsch. Dein englisch ist so gut das man es nicht gleich merkt das du nicht aus dem englischen raum kommst

[@tremaintanner1000]

Excellent video. Every tip you present is worth knowing and using. Thank you so very much.

[@ewaldstephan1177]

At the end of the tutorial a couple of splash screens Show up and you can’t see what you’re doing

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi Ewald, at the end of the video i just give a quick overview of the topics i talked about. there is no new information in there, so you didn't miss anything of the tutorials. But my newer videos don't use these end-screens anymore :)

[@nane4you]

Tolles Tutorial! Super einfache Techniken, schnell anzuwenden. Die Effekte, die dabei entstehen, sind beeindruckend. - Funktioniert übrigens auch mit der App Affinity Photo am iPad!
LG Tomislav

[@OlivioSarikas]

Super, danke Tom. Freut mich das es dir gefallen hat :)

[@dagacola8246]

Nice tips ... Thanks !

[@liviustanciu165]

How did you take directly the image from Unsplash to Affinity Photo? It doesn`t work for me (I have an active account on Unsplash). I have to go to the Unsplash site every time and download. Thank you.

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi Liviu, the new Affinity Photo version has a Stock function under "view->studio->stock" that you can use. if that doesn't work for you, simply download and import the images :)

[@liviustanciu165]

@@OlivioSarikas I have the final version. Doesn't work. I'll just download them.

[@MrVadymMykh]

Thank you! Very helpful))) The only question is about not understanding clearly your pronunciation. Ctrl + G is like "Ctrl + chi"

[@OlivioSarikas]

CTRL + C :)

[@MrVadymMykh]

Olivio Sarikas thank you 😊

[@ccudjoe89]

I been binging your videos today... thanks for existing! I know what the softlight does and I actually mess with duplicated layers but I never really realized it's a good way to "dirty edit"

[@worldtravelling9310]

Thank you. Like your Videos. Great Job. Motivation to learn using affinity Photo.

[@OlivioSarikas]

Thank you, world. Motivation is super important. Happy i could inspire you :)

[@os6219]

Can you tell me please what is the european shortcut to brush size?

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi os, i click i the tool bar to adjust it. never used a shortcut for it. sorry

[@jochengrothe3330]

Ich kann auf der Stock-Bild-Ebene nicht Restaurieren..... Was mache ich falsch?

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi Joche, die Ebene ist warscheinlich noch "Image" statt "Pixel". Rechtsklick und dann rastern auswählen um die ebene in eine Pixel Ebene umzuwandeln.

[@sanmyintmoe5145]

Please tell me your use software and software link

[@OlivioSarikas]

The software is calle "Affinity Photo"

[@ccudjoe89]

I didnt even know the stock tab existed.....❤👌🙏

[@paulreid7761]

Brilliant. You make something difficult, very easy. Well done.

[@jamesholder483]

Thank you. This is so helpful as I'm new to affinity photo and editing in general. Much appreciated. I watch a lot of your videos

[@OlivioSarikas]

Thank you, James. Happy i can help you with my tuts :)

Holy shit.

Holy cow!

You call it a hook in England we call it a tick.

[@OlivioSarikas]

Isn't a tick one of these small, blood sucking insects? :)

[@sandrahammond8190]

Amazing

[@johnhines2189]

Do you have a course online that I can take to learn everything about Affinity?

[@OlivioSarikas]

No course can teach everything about a Software. ;)

[@johnhines2189]

@@OlivioSarikas Understood. I enjoy your teaching style and didn't know if you had a course on Udemy or a platform like that. For now, I'll start going through your playlist of +100 video examples for Affinity! Thanks again.

[@alphagrendel]

This was amazing. Thank you so much.

[@paulbaker45]

Love this guy! He's great and so good at what he does. Just getting used to AP and enjoying it.

Thank you, Ann. I will try to make more in that style. Also check the vidoes on my channel, where you can find more list videos that bundle up tips and tricks :)

[@youbucket4462]

Affinity is the best! And You! Keep going. thank You!

[@lorenvguitar614]

Thank you for your wonderful tips and tricks, I wanted to know what happens when we flatten an image. I believe it makes the image size smaller but can it harm the image?
Thank you

[@OlivioSarikas]

It amkes the file size smaller and saves cpu and ram, but of course you now all your adjustments are rendered into that layer, so you can't change them anymore. So make a copy of the file before you do that

[@marciocarneirosantos]

You are a wizard! Fantastic tutorial!

[@zephirinedrouhin3735]

We just purchased Affinity Publisher, Photo and Designer. I’ve subscribed to your channel because it looks like you have some great videos that will help me learn how to use this awesome tool.

You're welcome, Andy :)

[@mlevesque33]

Where do you get all these pretty cool ideas? Lol. I know people suggest you tutorial ideas but you still have to come up with ideas on how to make them.

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi Martin, years of training and Pinterest ;) Like all Designers i get a lot of ideas by looking at what others do, getting inspired by that and finding my own ways of doing things from that inspiration :)

[@DiveDiva2007]

Amazing - Still learning how good AP is - thanks

[@RonaldMoD]

This was too "dirty" and fast for my taste. Not one of the pictures got improved IMO. Not one. Especially the night scene was disappointing.

[@philipzwick]

That was excellent. Illustrates that we are limited only by our imagination, or lack thereof. You erased some of that lack with this tutorial.

[@OlivioSarikas]

Thank you, Philip. I'm happy i could inspire you :)

[@Alexx2004]

Love these tricks! Thank you. Your explanation was very clear!

Thank you Olivio.Quick and efficient! I would be happy to learn to edit the example texts in affinity photo or designer ... if it is possible of course 😊

[@OlivioSarikas]

Hi Martine, what do you mean by example text?

[@martinec5480]

@@OlivioSarikas Good evening Olivio. In the "text" function it is possible to integrate an example text in a text box and this text is in Latin. I wonder if it is possible to change this text for another one that I would have chosen.

[@martinec5480]

@@OlivioSarikas This function is the same for AP or AD. The "isometric" sub window is also very rich in mysteries for me. I enjoy exploring it but I think it is very much below its possible uses.
