You single-handedly, in 15 minutes, helped me understand making and adjustment layers. 20 years of Photoshop and I never quite mastered the understanding of it and so I simply ignored it and did the work a different way. I'm not sure how, now, but you did it. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped! Like you I was confused the first time I used.
My words exactly I've had Photoshop for years and could never fully understand layers this is the best explanation I've come across
Thanks. Thanks. 🙏 your videos are quick and to the point and with the transcript you make it easier to check if a tool or technique is being discussed or not and go the point in the video where that is being discussed. 🙏 again.
Thanks I didn't know I made a transcript. Must be TH-cam doing it for me!🙂
The absolute best tutorial for affinity photo on TH-cam. Thank you.
Wow very kind of you glad it was helpful! 😃
Hi .Luis here I thank you for your great explanation of Layers.
Glad it was helpful! I think this video was in Affinity Photo 1, but layers did not changed in 2 so still applicable.🙂
I'm thinking of buying affinity photo I am on a free trial at the moment and for the last four days I have been scrolling through tutorials trying to get someone to explain layers to me which I could understand, this one does that for me thank you, now I think I wil go ahead and buy it thank you so much for the explanation I am 80 years old and I could follow it the only criticism I have is that video towards the end was blurry
Hi there glad Im glad to help you make the decision. Affinity offers a ton of value and of the least greedy companies around! Good to hear more people support them! Noted to hear it was blurry will have to check that out.🙂
Thank you for your clear and structured explanation. I like that you explain everything in a calm way and support it with an example.
Thanks for the specific feedback. Yes I just teach the way I want to be taught. Glad it was clear.

You're very welcome!
The best videos on affinity layers. So clear.
Wow, thanks!
Best explanation by far of layers and masking. I love how you zoom in and use a large arrow to clearly show the applicable icon for each step. I wish I'd found this video months ago! Thank you so very much! Liked and subscribed!
Glad it was helpful! I cannot stand those small buttons as well!
Wow, this is one of the best tutorials I have seen.
Layers were always confusing to me.
Now I have a much better idea of how to use them, and what buttons to press!
Thankyou my friend
Glad it helped! Enjoy your editing.
This was very helpful, as others have said I have viewed other videos explaining Layers in Affinity but none of them made the process as clear as you have by example of the steps. Thank you!!
Thanks for your comments. I haven't viewed other videos on this. This is really through trial and error that I've learned this.
Thank u.. Perfectly clear tutorial.... Great job

Well done. Clear and concise breakdown of layers. Thanks for helping clear up my thoughts on how to use this powerful feature as implemented in Affinity.
You're very welcome!

Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tips and easy to follow! More Affinity videos please 🙂
Thank you! Will do!
Great explination of layers and particularly layer masks, thank you
Glad its helpful!
In the two years I've been working with Affinity Photo, very part-time to be sure, I've struggled mightily with masking and layers. Even watching other Affinity content creation techniques I couldn't get Affinity to what it appeared they were doing. Well, they were leaving some things out as I see now. Especially child mask layers. Thanks for relieving a lot of stress...
Hi Sooner Arrow glad it was helpful. Which item did they leave out which you found out from the video?

The Affinity app wasn't configured correctly on my laptop. Hitting mask layer button NEVER placed it as a child, also preselecting areas and then adding an enhancement layer but expecting that preselection to auto apply to that new layer is still hit and miss. Also, using the paint brush for masking is totally new for me in Affinity and the way it and other things are used just seem counter intuitive to me.
Ive had the product for two years and have had limited success in getting it to do what I want. I get aggravated with it and myself, then turn to other photo editing tools that allow me to get what I want/need to get out.
thank you, very helpful!
You're welcome!
Excellent video. Is it possible to feather the edges of the owl against the blurred background for a smoother transition?
That's actually an issue of Affinity. When the blurring is extensive, halos are hard to remove. That should not happen and I haven't a workaround. Pixelmator has the same issue . I only found this out after comparing editors side by side.
If I wanted to replace the Owl for and Eagle, how do I do it? Can I drag and drop the Eagle image on top of the Owl or can I copy the eagle image and paste it? Many
thanks in advance
Sure, just can eagle with the background transparent (png) than just paste it over the owl. You can drag it to position.
I loved Affinity 1 as a stupid guy never needed this, in Affinity 2 its almost required to alter color on any image
DAMN THEM ALL, ha ha
Great vid though, honestly layers make a lot of sense, but being lazy is easier some times :)
Thanks for watching. Working with layers are not for the lazy for sure!
Yes too many other tutorials go so fast, and they don't realize that newbies cannot see all the options on the screen as they are so small.
Yes video zoom is a great teaching tool!
I enjoyed the video, except that it is not a version for Windows users. Do you have a video using Windows 10? Regards,
Unfortunately I do not. But the operation should be more or less the same. I edit in both Windows and Mac.
Where did you copy the image from as an image layer? How do you actually do it?
It's ok. I worked it out. Just being slow. This was an excellent presentation by the way.
Glad you found out!
I can't seem to copy and paste an image. I can open an image and edit it, but I can't add another image as a mask.
Hi are you trying to add an image as a layer? Its supposed just ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste in photo persona.
@@takebetterphotos8132 Yes, that's what I'm attempting to do, but the ctrl-v isn't pasting the image.
Why you don't have ads on? Edit: nvm 😂
you over say the word "so." Jesus C! you do!
Did I? Let me review it.
