    Hands down the best tutorial out there. 80% of the tutorials you look for don't even consider the fact that you have ZERO prior knowledge into this field.

      Thank you very much! I’m really happy to hear that. That’s exactly the audience I was aiming for! People who don’t have any prior knowledge, or experience working with graphic editing apps.
      I’m really glad to hear you found it useful!

    Thank you for a first-class educational video I have struggled in the past trying to get to grips with masks but you have made it so I can now understand how it all works. Thank you again.

      I’m really glad to hear that! Masks also took me awhile to understand, so I wanted to make this video to help people who might be having the same trouble. So I’m really glad to hear you found it easy to understand!

      Yeah, I’m always trying to balance getting through the information quickly, but not trying to rush. I think once I start explaining, I start moving really fast, so I’m always trying to slow myself down. So I really appreciate you saying that!

    Brilliant thank you........ I am now switching from PS to Affinity and getting to grips with how everything works. After watching this one I am now about to work my way through many of your other tutorials 🙂

    • @brgphotography
      @brgphotography  14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thank you very much! If you’re coming from PS, most of the skills are transferable. Honestly when I first started using affinity photo about 6 years ago, there weren’t that many videos on it, so I just watched PS tutorials and figured out how to do the same thing in Affinity.
      Judging from what I’ve seen, I’d say affinity photo is about 90% as capable of PS is. There are definitely a few things that PS can do that affinity photo doesn’t do yet, but there are also things that affinity photo can do which I think is a bit more efficient than PS.
      Welcome to Affinity Photo!

      @leonard187 hey man thank you very much for the kind words! Yeah, it does take a little time, which is why I’m not posting like every week. But I do want to try to post more often.
      As far as my tablet, I use a Wacom Intuos Pro small size. I actually made a whole video about it.
      Which Intuos is best for you?

    hello friend thank you for still making incredible videos for us, this guy has me very much considering switching to adobe plz help convince me I'm crazy lol do you have any tutorials that give us control in affinity similar to this th-cam.com/video/gEmHElQT73o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6A7uVo9QLIhQCAq5 and also with your skin softening macros do you have a video showing how to apply it because I still can't figure it out.

    • @brgphotography
      @brgphotography  หลายเดือนก่อน

      You’re welcome bud! Let me take a look at that video later this evening and get back to you.
      Are you referring to this video? th-cam.com/video/FCNWu8FIhfE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L0y6iF8vmVvpX43T I think show how to install them in that one.
      But one thing, at least for me, is Affintiy photo doesn’t want to activate the macros with a tablet. It only works when I click on it with the mouse.

    • @brgphotography

      Hey brother, so after looking at that video, you can totally get that look in affinity photo, you just have to work a little bit differently. It’s actually pretty neat, and it gave me an idea for a video I might make in the near future, so I might actually put a video explaining how he did it.
      But the main way to get that look, is by using the HSL adjustment layer and desaturating the colors individually in your image. You can also hue shift a little bit, and adjust their luminosity. Then, just using a curve adjustment layer, you could get the contrast and tones you like. You could even add a clarity filter to add some mid-tone detail to add some texture.
      I was able to get a very similar look in about five minutes of playing in affinity photo, so I think I will make a video about this real soon, because it seems like it’s a popular look.
