I tried a few other "neon glow" effects from other TH-cam videos to see which one yielded the best results. The process described in this video provided the best end result. Thank you for the clear, easy to follow instructions!

[@christinet6665]

Great Tutorial. I signed up for the free Affinity Photo course for the 10 simple steps to make any photo amazing and it was, by FAR, the most useful tutorial on Affinity Photo that I have taken and I have taken a lot of different courses.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Yay! I'm so glad to hear that. I hope all your photos turn out beautifully! 😊

[@lorensims4846]

Back in the day I bought a book called Real World Photoshop 3 that talked about preparing a scanned photo for print. It taught the basic principles and showed it really only requires a few basic steps to produce outstanding output.
Your course seems to do very much the same thing, updated for a modern workflow and using Affinity Photo.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you Loren, I'm glad you liked the course. 😊

Nice work.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you Alonzo! 😊

[@ck1425]

Absolutely excellent tutorial!!!
Do u think Affinity Photo will ever be as big as Photoshop? I started using Photoshop and God I miss Affinity Photo. PS has more extra tools, but the useability of AF is much better.
Keep up the great work. You are appreciated!!!

[@AffinityRevolution]

My guess is that Affinity Photo will get better and better in the upcoming years, while Adobe will steadily charge more and more for their subscription service. If that continues, it's only a matter of time before more people join the Affinity side! 😄

[@RodrigoBessa]

I'm not sure yet if I'm going to buy affinity photo 2, but if I do, for sure I will buy one or two of your courses, you explain so well!!!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you! I really appreciate your support. 😊

[@RodrigoBessa]

​@@AffinityRevolution so, I was wondering, are you planning to make more courses in the next weeks?

[@AffinityRevolution]

@@RodrigoBessa I recently released my Affinity Photo Version 2 course and my Designer Version 2 course. My Publisher Version 2 course should be done next week! :)

[@RodrigoBessa]

@@AffinityRevolution rofl, just saw at faq that your course of affinity photo for begginers was filmed using affinity photo 2.
Thnx

[@johnsharples6641]

Hi Ally. After the refine, 1min 45 sec approx, and before clicking "apply" you will get a better result if you change the output from "Selection" to "new layer with mask".

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thanks for the tip! 😊

[@TR-Graybles]

These tutorials keep blowing my mind and make me realise I know diddley-bupkiss about this program yet... I was happy with my advancement when I made a floating Ezra using the inpainting tool. Teach me more!

[@AffinityRevolution]

I'm still learning new things about Affinity too. There's so much to learn! I love it. 😊

[@gregorioportela]

bem criativo!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Obrigado! 😊

[@CElectriX]

TOP!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you! 😄

[@arvynditobisman5169]

Hello, is there any tutorial that teach how to match color between 2 different pictures? Thanks. I love your tutorial a lot

[@AffinityRevolution]

Yes, you can watch this video. 😊

[@EjayT06]

I would also personally use blend if on the model to add realism but thats just me.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Ohh ya, that would be a nice touch!

[@AffinityRevolution]

And for anyone wondering how to use blend ranges, here is my tutorial on it: th-cam.com/video/qZOyA3lNTYU/w-d-xo.html

[@pixelatl]

wow crop outward! I never knew you could do that 😂 No more copy and pasting into a new document in that situation anymore 😊

[@AffinityRevolution]

Glad you liked the tip! 😊

[@rgrun1]

Thanks ... I learn something every time. What I REALLY want to know is who are the 4, 5, 6 people who mark DISLIKE? I never use dislike unless it is objectionable, misleading or really poor. Your presentations are of great quality NM the question was rhetorical

[@AffinityRevolution]

I wonder the same thing! If they would leave some constructive feedback in the comments, I'd love to know how they want me to improve. But a dislike doesn't tell me much. Oh well. 🤷‍♀️

[@clumein2]

@@AffinityRevolution I know who they are... they're people that just aren't happy unless they can share there negativity and misery. They're just sad, unhappy individuals... Ally, I wouldn't waste 1 second of thought wondering who or why... just do what you do and you're golden. And you ARE golden... ! Thanks for the great great help and service you provide.

[@parrottm76262]

Isosceles triangles get no respect. Great tut! Thanks!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Haha sorry Isosceles Triangles! 😅

[@kienastewart]

That was fun! Wish I could share my exercise. Thank you for doing these.

[@AffinityRevolution]

I'm glad you liked it! 😊

[@spencerbass7142]

That was good. I have an old color photo that is mainly shades of yellow and black. I really want to preserve and improve the photo, do you think Infinity Photo can do that. I know it is a tough question.
Spencer

[@AffinityRevolution]

Hmm.. it's hard to know without being able to see the photo.
In a week or two, I'm going to be releasing some photo restoration tutorials. Perhaps those will be able to help you. 😊

[@spencerbass7142]

@@AffinityRevolution I hope. I though about your tutorial but I don’t think it will help in this situation.

[@kelvinbarbery4094]

Ally I am trying to copy you using my own photo which has many different colours but i cant get the selection tool to paint across it goes all over the place, I have tried different sizes but still no good any Ideas , Many thanks

[@AffinityRevolution]

You probably have a tricky photo to select. Watch this video for a detailed guide to making selections: th-cam.com/video/StH4Lg5EeWQ/w-d-xo.html

[@Muhluri]

I came for the glow tutorial and stayed for the controversial triangle preferences 🤣.
This tutorial was very helpful!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Triangles are a vert hot topic nowadays! 😆

[@titipokotube]

I love your voice)

[@AffinityRevolution]

Aww, thank you! 😊

[@VINISAMPLES]

Personally am a big Isosceles fan

[@AffinityRevolution]

Haha more power to you! 😁

[@naperthrilldotcom]

Great video! I love your commitment to equilateral triangles :D Does Affinity ever give you promo codes for new users? I'm thinking of making the leap from AI. Thanks!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Haha hooray for equilateral triangles! 😁

👍🙏

[@alainadamski7703]

Thank you Ally, very good tuto. Just one question: how do I remove the light border around the hair?

[@AffinityRevolution]

Removing that light border is called "defringing". The easiest way is to carefully paint black on your mask, to remove those parts of his hair.
There are other techniques you can use (which I show in my selection course), but painting black on the mask would be the simplest way to do it.

Please, please do glowing mushroom tutorial. ive been searching glowing mushroom lamp with affinity photo…but there is none. Not the whole freakin mushroom glow not like radioactive mushroom…no no no. :D like mushroom lamp. These tutorials are great!!!
