Software : Affinity Photo
Amazing! Thank you!
Please do more Affinity tutorials. I’ve been on Affinity for the last few years after being with Photoshop since version 1.2. The only thing I miss are all of the really good high end tutorial artists. I subscribed just due to this video.
Brilliant, please keep making Affinity videos so I can cut the cord with Adobe. :)
😂😂😂
Whooaaa howcome have I missed your channel before?! Amazing tutorials!
Can you Make More beauty editing like this with Affinity?? Really useful this video For me and want to learn More.
You think you could achieve the same quality from the iPad app?
Great work man!
Ah cheers Barry
More on affinity would be amazing- subscribed from this video alone :)
shit. the black and white overylay at the end is to remove the digital saturation of the brown/ colours isnt it!? i usually go about it in a different way but it takes so much more pushing and pulling and never thought about this! x.x
I’ve watched longer and confusing videos before but This has to be the best And shortest one. Well explained 💯💯
I JUST so happened to jump online the same day they were releasing Affinity... bought all three of them suckers, If I didn't have the old version of LR, I'd I'd release that sucker. I use Affinity but I'm finding it destructive to my photos especially on export(unless I'm bringing it into the project incorrectly) But other than that, it's a bad ass app hands down and anyone not switching over just loves burning money
This channel is a hidden gem, only visible to a select few.
Awesome !!! Thanks soo much ! 👍👍👍
keep making affinity photo tutorials seeing how there isn't that many.
Very nice, thank you!
Awesome... Please do share (more on Affinity) a video on HSL adjustment, skin color change - copper sink effects etc... Thanks in advance...
Awesome! I've had Affinity Photo for a good while, but so busy and invested in Photoshop, I haven't taken the time to learn this. This is PERFECT! Thank you so much!
It's totally worth learning
This was a beautiful tutorial, thank you so much!
I use Affinity Photo mobile I think I’m going to attempt this amazing process on my iPad. Everything’s the same just buttons in different places. Thanks Mark great tutorial.
Awesome! Excellent explanations and great videos! PLEASE! Can you tell me which magnifying cursor do you use? - Thank you-
I wish someone would do a real world example of skin retouching on older people (40's - 70's) and how to reduce wrinkles without it looking unnatural. Retouching on a 20 YO model with no wrinkles is not the same!
I really hope you make more affinity photo tutorial. ❤️
Amazing video, could you make color grading in affinity photo?
Brilliant 🎉
Do you have any other videos on Affinity Photo? I did a search and didn’t see any more on you channel. Any chance you’ll be making more videos using this program for general photo editing? I’m currently using it on my iPad but definitely could use some help with going a bit deeper in to edits. Just recently found your channel and like the detail and explanations you give versus other just going too quickly without explaining the “why” behind it all.
How did you stamp down the frequency layers? I can't seem to be able to do it. I'm using 1.10.5
I'm also seeing shiny dots from the high frequency layer.
Excellent video very informative, I found the background music very annoying.
great tutorial. Could I suggest, if you haven't already done it on other tutorials, adding a sample photo, so we can follow along with your videos.. thanks
Can anyone please help why can’t I do the healing brush on iPad? Something is wrong and I am stuck on low frequency step
Best AF skin retouch video by far. Ever thinking about going mobile and have it done on the iPad Pro? Awesome video 👍
Man ur an awesome teacher !!!! Thanks so much for ur effort! *Subscribed*!
Great software I’m thinking to use it, question can I make someone is skinny in this software? I know in Photoshop there is tools like that but I’m not sure if in this one I am able to do that, I work with a very picky customer that wanted to be perfect and some pictures and some time they gave me extra work to work in Photoshop 😆
Love it, thanks. Nice to see a professional explaining this amazing platform. could you do some videos of LUT, macros and presets. Maybe explain the difference between the 3. The difference between photoshop/lightroom and Affinity presets.
I like the way you work, you cover so much to me, things I tried to learn over one year and you did it and short video.. thank you 😊
Many would argue that using frequency separation is not high end skin retouching.
I wish there was manual that was like a tutorial that shows every function in Affinity photo.
Thanks my guy!! i just bought the software yesterday.
Can I use iPad version to do this? Cannot find frequency separator there?
Great video! I appreciate your subtle approach to skin retouching. Too often videos make the skin look plastic but yours maintain a very natural but polished look. What phrase am I looking for . . . oh yeah, “High End!”
I do have one question, however, why do you add a new mask to the adjustment layers? Each AP adjustment layer already has a mask built into it by default. It seems to be an unnecessary step. Or, am I missing something?
Thanks, keep the Affinity videos coming!
Hey Tom
Thanks for the nice comments. Yeah good question. I guess the simple answer is visual workflow. I like to see the mask separately and be able to turn off the mask to see the dodge/burn changes I've made from the initial Adjustment layer. Too used to Photoshop probably. Cheer mate
Realy cool. Make more videos for Affinity Photo. Pleaseeeeeeee
why you only have 1 affinity tutorial? you not using affinity anymore?
I have Afinity photo but I didn't know it could do that :D
Broooo Where are you been all this time? Watch hundred of videos and you explained this so easy to me! Bravo! Follow you now!
Can i do this in my mobile phn..i am From Bangladesh ❤❤
Can you tell me please, which brush color do you use?
MORE! I want more Affinity tutorials from your hand. Its straight to the point, with no smartness coffee drinking disturbing.. 🙏🏻👍🏼
Amazing tutorial mark. I love affinity for ipad. Should use it
Yeah me too! Awesome 👍
result looks much worse than original. boom
Era justamente o tutorial de retoque no Affinity Photo que eu estava procurando.
Muito obrigado!!!
I usually don’t comment but this was so good! 🔥 thank u!
THANK YOU for posting this. Ive been using AP for the past 3 yrs and I had to piecemeal many videos together to learn frequency separation
No worried buddy! Glad it was useful. All the best 👍
pfffffffffff nice!Thank you very much!
brilliant. best i´ve ever seen on retouching. thank you. subscribed.
Cheers Arnold
I Don't know the app name😅😅
Such a laid-back way of explaining the process excellent. As I’m already paying for photoshop and Lightroom in your opinion is this worth the extra £50
Hey Craig. Good to see you. Thanks for the nice comments. Because I do a lot of retouching, I think it’s worth the extra £50 as it’s my preferred software, plus I’m using a Mac that’s a few years old so AP is quicker. But photoshop is still my preferred everything else. Glad you like the channel mate
What pad are you using?
This tutorial was brilliant. I’m just learning about affinity. Through your tutorials. Really enjoy your style.
Great to hear!
How to even out skin tone?
Noticed that you're creating a mask layer on the adjustment layers? Just wondering why you don't paint directly onto the adjustment layer itself as they are in and of themselves a mask layer?
Just discovered ur channel and contents!I've been using AP since January and ur way of explaining is just simple! Thx u, u got a new subscriber here! Please can u make a video on how to make gold text on Affinity photo ipad?
Hi Riley, thanks for subscribing. Glad you enjoyed it mate. I’ll add it to my list of videos to make! 👍
Do you have an iPad version
Great!! Thanks for share
One thing I dont like, that you are making changes directly into layer. If you do those blemish removals with inpaint on empty layer, it will be closer to non-destrictive editing. Other than that, thanks for really great video. I hope for more affinity photo tutorials from you. Subscribed.
Perfect, thanks
Excellent video!!!!
Couldn’t agree more, brilliant. Any plans for more Affinity Photo videos?
Hi :) I am doing exactly the same steps, but I am stuck right in the beginning. When I start at the low frequencey with healing brush, nothing happen and I dont know why. What am I doing wrong? Thank you so much for any informations :)
Just found your channel, thanks for the great tips, I have never used the B+W layer over the frequency separation before to see the tonal changes better so every day is a school day! Can I ask please why you add a mask to your adjustment layers, eg when you added a curve layer instead of just hitting Cmd+I to invert the layer then paint it in where you wanted it, you added a separate mask then inverted that to paint in. Is there an advantage in adding that separate mask rather than just using the inbuilt mask in each adjustment tool? Subscribed.
Hi Steve. Thanks for the nice comments mate. Yeah, I've had that question before so its a good question. I guess the simple answer is visual workflow. I like to see the mask separately and be able to turn off the mask to see the dodge/burn changes I've made from the initial Adjustment layer. Too used to Photoshop probably. All the best. M
Thank you!
Great work
Thankyou!!
This edit is awesome! I use Affinity photo a lot for editing and every day there's something new to learn, great video mate!👏🏽👏🏽
superb work
Great job !
Thanks for making a not so easy subject........easy. Excellent video.
Thank you
Brilliant!
just a couple of suggestion u should do more videos of skin retouch videos.. u should use modes while remove the blemishes..and some point blend if would be great rejust for dogde and burn..good video..i liked well done ..
Hello is there anyway to provide a link to the photo you use would really love to follow along for practice excellent video thank you so much ☺️ !!!
Thanks mate. Exactly what I was looking for. Cheers
Beautifully done, real shame you've never done anymore Affinity based tuts Mark
Please do more affinity photos videos :) would love to learn more with the affinity
This is a very nice video. video that I was looking for. I wish you had macros to be able to install in affinity photo
Great content!! Love your enthusiasm in every single video!! Keep up, Love from India .
Please!!! More Affinity videos!!! You are brilliant! The best tutorial ever! I loved it
Thank You for sharing..this is what im looking for.. retouching with some cheaper software.
Excellent video short and to the point easy to understand a most of all a beautiful photograph love love love the end results.
Mark, Nice video! Is it possible to create actions like in photoshop. so you can speed up the process even faster?
Yes, it's a macro in ap, same as an action ps. You must go to view, studio and select macro if you don't see it right away.
Then you start to record and do your thing, like making a group for dodge and burn for exemple. You stop the macro, save it and it's done, it will appear in the library.
@@assoumanim Thanks for that tip!
This channel is a goldmine! Keep up the good work mate!!
Frequency separation for skin isnt high end retouching. Need to rename the tutorial. Don’t spread misinformation.
Dépends on how you use it. There is no smooth skin process here, look the texture, it’s 100% accurate.
@@assoumanim the way he used it is wrong. If you want all parts of the skin you need low high and mid frequency to get all the skin. Micro dodge and burn with global dodge and burn. He claims it’s high end but it isn’t. Please Learn what high end is before you speak. In a group with masters who truly do high end this picture would get torn apart. Natalia Taffarel explains clearly for free how to do real high end skin retouching.so 100% wrong
Furthermore this isn’t separated by light texture and color.
@@assoumanim let’s not forget color problems all over the skin. Uneven tones. Not high end retouching at all. This has to renamed. So misleading. This is also why he didn’t reply. Because all I’ve said is true.
Great tutorial. I really enjoyed your style. Please do more Affinity photo.
Thank you for making this was looking for a tutorial like this
Hey Chris. Cheers for the comment. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Hi, is this feature can be done on the iPad version?
can this same process be done on the ipad version? this is sooooooioo 🔥🔥🔥
rummage is a good word! that was killer!
amazing tutorial, but I've been tested on RAW editor and the app run so slow against Photoshop or pixelmator pro, for moments the app freeze when I tried to reveal photos and the cache is fulled so fast
It must be done in photo persona, not in develop persona. It runs like a charm for me.
At 5:57 you lost me with "Now I'm going to stamp down the frequency layer with alt shift control E." I tried that and nothing happened.
Did you have both layers selected?
And again! Thank you Markster! (Mark+Master) :-P Now I get some affinity to taste Affinity Photo! It could be a great alternative for Photoshop, but I have a question: What about lightroom alternative? Maybe in the next video? :-P
Markster! I like it. Keepin it! Yeah I might do a vid on Capture One which is my fave image management software
Absolutely brilliant tutorials I love mate
Subscribed from this video, a bit long but brilliant. Long in meaning I hope I can follow myself for the same incredible results. Great stuff looking forward to what else is here. A big thanks for this content!
Thanks Jeff. Looking forward to making more content!
Thank you, Mark, this is one of the best tuts I have ever come across, not only it's easy to follow but you also know the purpose for each and every change, BTW I subscribed as soon as you mentioned Photoshop subscription pricing which is insanely expensive and unaffordable.
Thank you once again, your time and effort is very much appreciated 😊
Greeting from IRAN ❤️
