Happy new year! Thank you very much!
Just discovered your channel a few days ago. As a beginner in Affinity, this place has been the best for me. Thank You and a prosperous 2022 to you sir 🙏
Welcome aboard and best wishes for 2022! Thank you.
Graphical - nice, very nice - and thank you for maintaining the macros !! - very helpful - be safe, Happy New Year - looking forward to more learning -
Happy new year to you too! Until 2022 :) Thank you.
Allways TOP of the TOP ! ... Sincerelly "THANK YOU" very very very much ... I learned a lot with your videos ! ...
Thank you so much! Hopefully 2022 will be even better :)
Like Ian Browne I have found black and white images a lot harder to get a satisfactory result, I found that adding a selective colour adjustment before converting to B&W with channel mixer enables me to go back and adjust especially with the sky. If you run out of things to do restoring old photos is another challenge, very few go beyond simple adjustments with levels and inpainting. Thank you so much for sharing your skill you deserve a large following.
That is indeed a great tip and thanks for sharing! If you have some old photos (or links to public old photos), i can have a look and see what i can do :) But mostly indeed, it will be inpainting/clone brush and color/tone adjustments. Depending on the photos you might even need to recreate some facts from other photos..
Happy new year to you too, cannot waitvto see the next video
Happy new year! Thank you.
At about 1:45 you place the Brighness/Contrast adjustment below the Invert adjustment and state that this ensures the Brightness/Contrast gets applied first. At first, I thought, "that can't be right." But then I realized that you are correct and that my confusion was the result of the convoluted way that the Affinity apps present child and clipping layers.
Logically, the child adjustment layers should appear above the image layer they are transforming (i.e., the image at the bottom of the stack is first altered by the Brightness/Contrast layer just above it, and then that transformation is altered by the Invert adjustment at the top of the stack.)
But the Affinity apps require a mind-bending perceptual exercise, whereby you must disregard the vertical position of the image being operated on, and imagine that it's real position is at the bottom of the child layer stack.
This always throws me for a loop. I wish they'd change it.
I understand your concern, i had the same when starting with Affinity however when you think about it, the way Affinity has implemented makes sense. The layer stack always works from the bottom up and therefore it makes sense that the same applies to the clipped child layers, just like with groups, the adjustments/layers are applies to the parent from the bottom up. Hope this makes sense.
@@Graphicalfinity Spatially, I still find it mind bending.
It would be extra work that no one would bother with, but you could begin by putting the image in a group by itself, and then adding the adjustment layers into the group above the image layer. That would make sense visually.
I had to work this out in a practical way in oder to see the Affinity behavior. If you begin with an image layer, then add a green shape layer as a child, the green shape layer will appear in front of the image on the canvas even though it appears below the image in the Layers panel. If you then add a red shape layer as a child of the image layer but above the green shape layer, you will see on the canvas that the red shape appears in front of the green shape layer, which in turn appears in front of the image layer (red shape, over green shape, over image). But in the Layer panel you see an illogical reshuffling: the image layer over the red layer over the green layer.
There's nothing to do but to learn the quirky display logic of the Layer panel and move on.
Thank you for the all the interesting tutorials throughout the year. Your insightful videos are my first reference for all Affinity Photo questions. I'm sure the channel will flourish and grow as more AP users discover your useful and easy to follow tips to creating great photos. Have a safe and happy New Year. I look forward to learning more from you in 2022.
*PS - To get to your BW originals in this video, you might have started with your Channel Mixer BW Conversion method or at least referenced it in the video description.
Thank you so much!
PS. I forgot as i actually used BW photos (didnt convert them)...Great tip. I'll put a link in the description.
Happy New Year !!!
Happy new year!
Love it. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Thank you; that is a different approach .
Do you have any tips for editing a colour file before converting the black and white ?
I have often considered a black and white photo far more difficult ''to get right''; even in the darkroom where how the film was developed affected the actual photo processing .
Wishing you have a safe, healthy, and successful 2022 :)
Also the best of all wishes for 2022! Interesting question, i'll see if i can make a video on that. Thank you.
