One thing I found that might make it quicker is that at 3:31 when your're selecting the color using the dropper, you can click where it says "RGB Sliders" and set that to "Swatches" and just select from the swatch you made.
Thank you for an very easy to understand tutorial. I just subscribed. Best wishes to you and your family and keep up the great work. Paul, from Australia.
What a great technique! I've used it a couple times up to now and it worked well, especially with a couple other tweaks. Definitely easier than some of the other methods I've seen of colour matching. Thanks!
I prefer to use the pointer over the percentage value when adjusting opacity and use the scroll wheel on my mouse.I get a more accurate adjustment,(this can be used on all adjustment values).Great video though,keep them coming !!!
You have some awesome tutorials! I just recently discovered your videos & I'm in the process of watching them all. Thank you for your excellent videos & teaching!
Thank you for this tutorial, I would have had no idea how to do this otherwise. I found it very useful for coloring my teacher's face the exact shade of purple as Thanos's head so I could put his face on there.
Amazing tutorial , I'm being using photoshop for 7 years and I just gave a try to affinity just for fun. It's great but I'm kinda lost sometimes because I'm not use to the menu yet. I love it and I'm here trying to learn again what I know in PS. Helpful video, here's my like and subscription. Keep the good work.
There are not many steps to this. Write them down and practice in AP. Let yourself make mistakes. I discovered this method by playing around with palletes. It was not my intention to find this method, but when I chose 3 colors I noticed they we're close to highlights, midtones, and shadows. It was an accidental discovery. Don't always follow the rules of what the tools were made for. Have fun with them.
since you picked only three colors, you don't include any of the green which forms a part of the ambient light. I make a blur layer of the background and use average blur. I then put that resultant blurred layer on the girl and set the blend mode to soft light. You won't need to use gradient map this way. You may have to adjust the lighting with curves of the resultant. see if you like that approach since you dont have to do a gradient map. cheers.
Hi thanks for this tutorial. I've subscribed. I dont have the colour icon that you have on the left when you're dragging over the new colour to replace the colours from the gradient map? Please help!
Thank you for this video. It’s helpful. I have a question about selections. What’s the difference between Feather, Smooth, Refine Edges, and Border Width? It seems to me like they do the same thing, but I’m not sure.
This is just what I needed, but because I am an idiot - I can't figure out how to get the color circles on my toolbar. I, of course, have them in color studio palette but not on the left toolbar??? I have nowhere to drag the color. Thanks for your help.
This video is just what I've been looking for but I always find a snag somewhere along the line. My background/foreground thingy has a red bar against it and nothing works. What does this mean and how to I solve it? Cheers.
@@DigitallyFearless Hi, I'm in exactly the same screen as your video but at the bottom of the tool bar may foreground switcher has the 2 larger circles plus one small white circle with a red bar across it. Your little white circle is clear white so I assume this is where my problem is because nothing seems to change when working through the tones. I'm fairly new to Affinity Photo and finding it difficult to find anything other than the basics set up. Regards.
Well, not bad. But...kinda reaching left ear with right hand. Btw. Create Palette from image does not see *.aphoto files..., no matter if you choose documents or raster files.
Transfixed up to 3:10 and lost you completely. Your mouse went haywire, what are you clicking first and where are you going after that, I don't see anywhere to drag to a colour selector on the left side menu bar on my copy of AP, where did appear from ???. It seems I am the only commenter to have this problem, are all the watcher here already familiar with this and just watching for confirmation and can already do this, where am I going wrong ?????.
One thing I found that might make it quicker is that at 3:31 when your're selecting the color using the dropper, you can click where it says "RGB Sliders" and set that to "Swatches" and just select from the swatch you made.
Great tip. Thanks
Thanks, nice tip!
Wow that is a great tutorial - worked so well and so much easier than mucking around with numbers!
This is the tutorial I have been searching for to match color grading from other photos in Affinity. This is an easier method than Photoshop. Thanks.
Glad you liked it. It's not perfect, but it gets you closer to a match faster.
It's amazing that not only is Affinity cheaper than Photoshop, but seems way easier to use and more efficient in the tools and procedures.
Keep in mind that this is a workaround until we get color match on Affinity.
I tried this and it worked great. Thank you very much for making a video of this.
I am always pleased to learn more about the power of Affinity Photo. Thanks.
Getting the pallette from a photo is a great function that I didn't know about. Thanks.
Thanks so much. Please share so others will learn.

Thanks so much. It's an easy starting point and with some tweaking gets good results. Glad you liked it.
This is such a cool trick, definitely a lot more simple than the methods I had been doing.
try the average blur method..its fastest
Very cool! I love your tutorials. I watched this before and just watched it again and it's so easy and well taught! Thank you!

Great. I'm glad it helped.
This is a wonderful tutorial and super easy to do, ty!
Thanks Rich; been looking for a simple method for some time. This is so easy and effective 👍🏻😀
Glad you found it useful.
I prefer to use the pointer over the percentage value when adjusting opacity and use the scroll wheel on my mouse.I get a more accurate adjustment,(this can be used on all adjustment values).Great video though,keep them coming !!!
What do you mean by "use the pointer"?
@@DigitallyFearless I really mean the pointer that is on your computer screen,or should I have said arrow head.
Great tip. I am using it now for many features in Affinity. Thanks.
You have some awesome tutorials! I just recently discovered your videos & I'm in the process of watching them all. Thank you for your excellent videos & teaching!

Hmmm. I will have to look into it and make a new tutorial.
@@DigitallyFearless Thank you! I looked at them but I’m not sure which ones to use in each situation.
Awesome thanks
Can you do this on the iPad version2? Like load the image to get the color for your gradient?
Greaaaaaaaaat.. Thanx man
im trying to do this on the ipad version
and did you figure out if it's possible?? I want this, too
Nico Lozano yes you have to use the gradient map adjustment, pick the colors you want n change the blend mode
This is just what I needed, but because I am an idiot - I can't figure out how to get the color circles on my toolbar. I, of course, have them in color studio palette but not on the left toolbar??? I have nowhere to drag the color. Thanks for your help.
I explain how to get the colors on the left in this video. th-cam.com/video/x9mYuKeylvc/w-d-xo.html
@@DigitallyFearless Thank you SOOOO much!
Thnxxxx
Thanks for watching.
Great tutorial. Thanks a lot! The composition is very disturbing though...
True, buti was just focusing on a starting point for color grading.
Is there a way to create pallete from selected layer?
Sure, copy the layers and paste them in a new document. Then create the pallette as shown in the video and use it in your other documents.
Is there anything to be gained by taking the original image and having more than three levels?
Not really sure, but I don't think so. I think shadow, midtones, and highlights are all that's needed.
Thanks for sharing I guess this must be the easiest way, It doesn't work for my image sadly.
There are many ways. If trying this way make sure to lower the opacity and check your blending mode.
This video is just what I've been looking for but I always find a snag somewhere along the line. My background/foreground thingy has a red bar against it and nothing works. What does this mean and how to I solve it? Cheers.
Not sure what you mean. What tab are you in where it shows the red bar?
