In today’s Affinity Photo tutorial, we’ll learn how to steal the color grading from any image. This technique is super easy to do, and allows you to give your photos the same look and feel of any other image. All we need is the Swatches Panel, and a Gradient Map adjustment layer.
This video was inspired by an amazing Photoshop tutorial: • Steal the Color Gradin... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
For anyone wondering how to do this on the iPad, here's the solution! 🙂
The problem with the iPad version of Affinity is that it can't make swatches from a photo. To get around that, you can use a site like this: www.canva.com/colors/color-palette-generator/
Then take a screenshot of the results it generates, paste that screenshot into Affinity, and then you can continue following along with the tutorial by applying a gradient map.
Affinity Revolution isn’t there an IOS app that does that? I found a couple but you have to manually select the colours from a photo as opposed to AP that does it automatically
@@MusicFed I'm sure there is an app that does it (there's an app for everything!) But I found that website quick and easy to use.
Thanks for that link, very helpful!
and here "...paste that screenshot into Affinity..." I am lost!
(thanks anyway for everything you do)
@@ianfelix4229 I save the screenshot in my ipad's camera roll, then use the *place* function from the commands menu, choose *place from photos*, pick the screenshot and place it on the upper right side of the photo that I want to color grade, so the color wheel won't obstruct most of the screenshot when using the gradient adjustment. Then make sure you're on the right layer, choose the gradient adjustment, tap the gradient (should be red, green and blue) and then when you tap on the red circle the colour wheel with the color picker should open. Now you can drag the picker on to the darkest color from your placed screenshot. Do the the same with the greend (midtones) and the blue (highlights) and that's basically it. Delete the layer with the placed screenshot, choose your blendmode and tweak your colors until your happy with them. Hope this was helpful.
How can someone be calm but hyped like this at the same time
Haha probably by being nervous on camera but trying to look calm... 😅
I was diagnosed with hypertension and HBP recently ... I decided to compile a playlist of nothing but her videos... Haven't had the back of my eyeballs feeling like they want to pop out or my neck wants to stretch off my shoulders in weeks! ... The woman is a certified psychiatrist hands down.
Ugh, sorry you haven't been feeling well. I hope that you keep finding ways to feel better. 🙏
You guys are the most awesome team! Thank you both for all of your hard work.
Thank you Tammy! 😊
I am using Affinity Photo for iPad for the past one year. Your gradient mapping and blend mode technique is wonderful. My dull pictures now look more richer in colours. The best part is I am able to fine tune the gradients with custom colours. I also bumped on an iPad app : Drop - Colour Palette Creator just like the Canva you had mentioned. Thanks a ton 🙂
Thanks for sharing the app you found! 😊
Amazing... This is the reason that I love Affinity. Thank you so much
Affinity is amazing! Thanks for watching! 😊
Your tutorials are beautifully clear and a delight to watch. I too am an iPad user of Affinity and would of course be delighted if you made iPad videos but I do understand why you can’t and need to prioritise your resources. However it still gives one an idea of the basic principals to take away and see if you can adapt to your own photos or art work. So I shall play with this basic idea and from this I would expect to have fun learning and see how this can be applied to the software I do own. Thank you and best wishes to Ezra
For most of our tutorials, you can follow along with the iPad version quite easily, but this tutorial uses a feature that the iPad version does not have (the ability to import color swatches from an image). Sorry! 😕
I've been looking for this feature for ages - had no idea it was so easy, right there in Affinity. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Glad you liked the video. 😊
I just followed your instructions and I am so happy with the result. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ralf! 😊
I've found that creating 5 to 7 swatches in a pallet from an image give you more flexibility while setting the gradient tone points. I actually add points in between the shadow and mids and between the mids and highlights and use the additional swatches from the pallet to set more colour points and have more control over the gradient map. Further when setting these colour points instead of using the sample colour you can just switch to the swatches dialogue and choose the recent ones generated from your image and just double click them to decrease the number of step you need to set the colour of each point.
Thanks for sharing your workflow! It's nice to hear how other people work. 😊
I know this is an older video, but you just blew my mind with that create palette from image. I did not know you could do that. So many little things that I still haven't learned about this program. Thank you!!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video :)
Wow, truly helpful, thank you!! I have seen this video few days ago and today I have used your instructions to solve a problem I've been struggling with different colour gradings in a serie of my nightscapes. Great!
That's great to hear! I'm glad it could help. 😊
I installed Affinity on my Windows desktop. I'm very pleased with this video, thanks a lot. It shows it's much easier to do this in this software than in Photoshop, which surprised me I must admit! Anyways very helpful and pleasant presentation!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video. 😊
This is really awesome, thanks for showcasing it!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 😊
Finally I was waiting on this method for Affinity. I saw a video for Photoshop but this is even easier than that.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. 😊
Thanks Ally! You, Ezra, and Affinity Revolution are awesome!
Thank you! 🤗
Cool video, so many options and features in this app - never knew what that Color Grading option was used for.
Affinity has so many features... even I'm still learning more of them! 😅
great video, I will definately make use of this technique. Happy days thanks
Thanks for watching! 😊
Love all your tutorials!
Thank you! 😊
hey just a heads up you have to click and drag on the sample (eye dropper) for it to work on the new update. this took me a very long time to figure out lol
That's true. Thanks for pointing that out!
Hi and thanks for the great tutorial. I wanted to know how to create the colour pallet. Thanks.
Thank you! 😊
To create color pallets, you can use Affinity, or a website like this: www.canva.com/colors/color-palette-generator/
GOD i didn't know that swatch menu is so amazing! Thanks!
It's really useful! I like it a lot.
Thanks for another great tutorial!! 👍
Thank you Rick! 😊
Just started using affinity photo afters years of using psd...love your short tutorials 😊
Thank you Daisy! Glad you're enjoying the tutorials. Affinity is a wonderful program. 😊
Wow amazing how easily you can do that in affinity, I remember Photoshop tutorials for exactly this either being really complex or relaying on plugins
Sometimes, Affinity can outperform even Photoshop! 😄
@@AffinityRevolution make that "nearly always".
wow! I love your video, very well explained and slow so I can follow you. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you liked the video. 😊
Ha ! I could not figure out how to use this feature of AP (swatches), I managed to get the palette but never understand how to use it after. I'm glad you shared this tutorial ! Thank you very much :)
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped! 😊
Wow, you are so awesome in explaining. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! 😊
Well explained! Thank you for your clear and beautiful tutorial.
Thank you! Glad you liked it. 😊
Thank you so much! This was sooo helpful!!! :)
Thank you Caitlyn! Glad you liked it. 😊
Beautiful, as always. We iPaders can use the gradient map but we don’t have the pallet maker function. Any suggestions for a work-a-round?
You could use a site like this: www.canva.com/colors/color-palette-generator/
Then take a screenshot of the results it generates, paste that screenshot into Affinity, and then could continue with using the gradient map. 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Wish there was an easy method like this in Adobe lightroom
Thank you! 😊
wow, this is so intuitive and practical.
Thank you Jay! 😊
Thank you! Super useful technique.

Thank you Michel! And that's a good idea for a future video, thank you.

Amazing!!!! Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad you liked the video. 😊
Thank you for good video. Sometimes I am confused that
Am I doing a Photoshop or Affinity. They are similar but a bit different.
I wonder do you even have webpage tutorials?
Photoshop and Affinity are very similar. Affinity is just much cheaper! 😄
We only make videos tutorials, not webpage tutorials.
Awesome method to create your own .LUT files for video color grading too!
Great idea! 😊
Amazing!!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Excellent, thank you
Thanks for all the support! 😊
great tip

My pleasure! 😊
Good info. Thank you 👍

Really good... Thanks for share!!!🙂
You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it. 😊
She's so excited after applying "overlay"!
Haha gotta love blend modes... 🥳
Love it !
Thank you! 😊
Hey team, amazing video, thx! Allow me to ask why u only use 3 colours from the the color map of the photo you copied from? How would the process looks like if u took for example 12 colours or 50 out of it... Would it look even more similar? thx a lot.
It still works, I just don't think it looks as good. That's my personal preference. You can try adding more colors. 😊
Thank you~
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. 😊
Thanks for another quality video. I hope Ezra is doing ok
Thank you for watching! 😊
Awesome, thanks.

AMAZING!

You're welcome! 😊
Colors ... wow!!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you!
You're welcome! 😊
Great tutorial, but how do I save the swatch for future use please?
You can save the swatches as an "application pallete" from the Swatch's Panel Menu. 😊
Nice ...ty
You're welcome! Glad you liked it. 😊
I might be late on picking this up but it doesn't seem to work on Pc running windows 10? The gradient map is not picking up colours for new swatches from other image?
This technique still works, but there might be a bug on the PC version right now. You can report bugs to the developers here: forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/78-photo-bugs-found-on-windows/
Great presentation. I have issues at the point where you sample each of the 3 ranges; my sample button (brush) doesn't seem to respond, if carry on anyway, my triangle disappears and nothing happens. Do I have a setting wrong?
Hmmm... it's hard for me to know without being able to see your screen. I'd post your question with a screenshot on the Affinity forums: forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/5-affinity-on-desktop-questions-mac-and-windows/
Try to click and drag, or click on the dropper then hold the mouse button down, move over to the colour in the swatch then let go.
hi, nice video, but i cant find swatches panel on my ipad. where is it?
It's inside the Color Studio. 😊
You Are GREAT GREAT GREAAAAAT
Thank you! 😊
how do you save your new pallette and then apply it on other photos, without having to do it all again ? I saved it, but don't know how to apply it on other pictures.
From the Swatches Panel, you need to save your swatches as an Application Pallete, not a Document Pallete. 😊
my picker don`t work, its not active, in the gradient map...
Hmmm... I'm not sure why that is. I'd post your question on the official Affinity forums: forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/5-affinity-on-desktop-questions-mac-and-windows/
Thanks!
You're welcome! 😊
Can you use this same method on affinity pro on the iPad?
No you can't. The swatches panel doesn't have the ability to import colors from a photo.
Great! But I can't find that hamburger panel preferences menu icon, it just doest exist in my affinity UI (((
It should be there still. If it's not for you, I'd post your question with a screenshot of your screen on the Affinity forums: forum.affinity.serif.com/
Can you make more videos on IPad Pro ? Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Maybe someday, but we aren't making iPad tutorials right now, since not as many people watch them. Sorry!
Affinity Revolution that’s not true
Affinity Revolution I would love to know how to use this method on the iPad version
@@juzeljames7793 I wish it wasn't, but it is. We closely track which videos do the best, since it takes a lot of time to make these videos. A lot more people watch Affinity PC/Mac videos than the Affinity iPad ones.
I actually follow for iPad videos without it 🥺Guess I’ll go back to Lightroom.
Hi Ally. I really sorry that for whatever reason I can't achieve simply because after I an image, and then select Swatches, then bring the graded image. I change from 5 to 3 colours. I am fine to this point, however when I want to add a Gradient Map, I choose colour, when I select the pin tool, and click on the pallet colours, it is not changing any thing. For example, you start with Red for Shadows, and so forth. The pin tool is not active, and I do not know why! I would really appreciate your help and support to overcome this issue. Regards, Darya.
Hmmm... I'm not sure without being able to see your screen. But if you send an email to support@affinityrevolution.com with a screenshot, I will take a look. 😊
@@AffinityRevolution Thanks for helping me. I did not save the document. The pin tool was not active for some reason. Once again thanks.
I can't find create palette from image in my swatches menu???
That's so strange! Hmm... it's hard for me to know what's going wrong without being able to see your screen. I'd post your question with a screenshot on the Affinity forums: forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/5-affinity-on-desktop-questions-mac-and-windows/
I was kind of upset finding that Affinity doesn't have the easy selective color adjustments like Adobe Camera Raw has, but hey, this gradient map technique is even better than that! Thank you, I'm never coming back to Photoshop :)
Glad you like it! 😄
Is this possible on the iPad Pro version???
For most of our tutorials, you can follow along with the iPad version quite easily, but this tutorial uses a feature that the iPad version does not have (the ability to import color swatches from an image). Sorry! 😕
can i use 5 colors on the swatches instead of 3?
Yes you can. I just liked the way 3 looked, but 5 works great too. 😊
Really wish there are similar tutorial for the ipad version.

Hi!, I have a question, Is there a Problem if I use Affinity photo in a 13" MacBook Pro?
A 13 inch MacBook Pro works 100% fine. 😊
Hi, I have a question, before we edit raw files, we need to change it to jpeg first then import into affinity right, let's say for Canon images.cr3, what software should I use to do the conversion? DPP or DXO or Lightroom? Thanks!
Affinity is a RAW editor as well.
Affinity can edit RAW images, so there's no need to convert it to JPEG before brining it into Affinity. :)
@@AffinityRevolution Thanks, but does it support CR3? It's been like more than a year XD
@@yoshirochen112 I'm not sure, but you can check on the Affinity forums. 🙂

I don't have the option "create palette from image", how can I get that?
It's under the Swatches Panel menu.
can you do this on an ipad?
