Thank you for producing this video.

[@hansties]

Nice, wel done, very clear explanation, as always, thank you James.

[@DanielMalstrom]

It is very well explained but requires lots of effort to grasp and understand and get used to. But very powerful

[@rmfeld]

Great Video, thanks!

[@cjsSeidel.and.art.]

Great that you can really learn a lot here .... thanks

[@javierrivero7]

I congratulate you for the new tutorials where the image of the person who is explaining does not appear, since this image distracts and covers part of the program's interface. Congratulations!

Great tutorial. In Affinity Photo 2, however, it seems that Hue Range Masks are doing some of the same things that loading R/G/B channels to selections are doing in this video. For the example at time 2:35 in this video, could Hue Range Masks and Compound Masks be used to achieve a similar effect?

[@anthonyivanov2396]

is there a simple way to have custom masks in the R-G-B-A channel as we do in PS for game Art related stuff

[@RishiRajKoul]

CAN I ACCESS INDIVIDUAL COLOR CHANNELS IN RAW. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THAT. OR AM I MISTAKEN?

hot dog!

James, I love your efforts dearly but God-damn, my brain operates at 1/10th your speed (maybe 1/50th). I'll move on to tutorials for dummies.

Thanks - what a disappointment with the Affinity Photo update

[@Mr.Reckless]

I 100% agree with you. I'm pretty sure Affinity is also holding out on new features of their software on us. They were just in it for the money on this update.
