interesting and well done. the amount for this Roman should've been "X" though, not "10" 🙂 -- or an "L" or "C" to make it worth more :) It should been possible to do the initial steps non-destructively with live filters and fx.
@@tonycarretti2872 Photo's a bit strange in dealing with them: you often have to drag them "onto" the layer so they're nested _inside_ it to only affect this one layer. It's a bit different than in other apps but once you get used to this workflow, it's also more powerful. You can also mask each single one of them and have very good control over how and where they're applied. In your example you can more easily swap the image layer of the Roman (using a soft round mask for the edges) with another subject w/o having to recreate any of the rest.
Great tutorial. In Affinty all layers are 'Smart Objects'. This is one of the big advantages of Affinity Photo over Photoshop. When you rasterize the layer then is not a 'Smart Object' anymore.
Yes, you are correct! But I have noticed that certain live filters and effects don’t always work properly on certain layers unless I rasterize them. I usually try to keep as many smart layers as possible, but sometimes there’s no choice. Thanks so much for taking a look and for your feedback!
The Photoshop tutorial you mentioned at the beginning - it wouldn't happen to be from Blue Lightning TV? I know he did a Photoshop tutorial on this recently.
I believe it was a grapexels tut, but I’ve seen the one from Blue Lightning now as well and it seems to be the same method. PS definitely makes things a lot easier with the filter gallery, something that I wish AF would incorporate into future versions. Right now I’m trying to figure out a comparable way to achieve transparent glass/water splash but it still doesn’t look right.
@@tonycarretti2872 Thanks. I just wondered, because I follow Blue Lightning TV. And the more that folks support Affinity, the more likely we are to get features like this, I reckon.
WOW!!! brilliantly simple...
Thanks so much, I appreciate you taking a look!

Thanks for taking a look! You’re right, I just need to spend more time using live filters so that I understand them better.

Niiiice!!
Thanks so much!
Genial ......
Thank you!!
Note that all objects in Affinity Photo are 'Smart Objects' until you rasterize them.
Didn’t know that, thanks!
