Thanks Michael. Ive been using affinity photo for about a year - mainly on an iPad. I’ve recently bought the Mac version and, although the features are the same, the workflow is completely different. I’ve found that I’ve become accustomed to all the iPad controls (Apple Pencil makes this fun to use as well) but simply struggle with the Mac version. I am interested in creating composites so am going to give this a go on my new M1 Mac. I’ve watched several of your tutorials on composites (the whale in particular was stunning) and even gone so far as to take notes - especially on the keyboard strokes - things like bracket keys to change bush size, etc. I subscribed to your channel about two weeks ago. Your style of tutoring is simply awesome. You have a calm voice and explain in a clear and concise manner, so thank you very much. I have so much to learn.
One thing does puzzle me though. if you have used the iPad version, have you found that to be superior in inferior to the Mac version?
Hi and Thank you so very much for all your kind words and for your support with my channel. I do use both at the moment Ipad pro and desktop mac, I find I use the Ipad a lot for working out my Tutorials. I use the Desk top to record them and I do find the desktop version a little easier functionality wise. I think the Ipad version is great but is just missing a few things that the desktop version does a little better. One example is rotating a brush, on the desktop I can just use the arrow keys, On the Ipad you have to go into the brush setting to do this. (unless I am missing something). but i do like both and I think they can work well together. Thank again for your amazing support ....Mike
I am a video tutorial junkie and have been for about five years. If I want to learn a new task, I watch the best video tutorial I can find on the subject, and watch it while taking extensive notes so that I don't have to watch it again and can flip to my notes at a moments notice. Of all of the tutorials I have watched, this video tutorial, by far, has been the best overall that I have watched. You were very clear and understandable with your speaking instructions, and your video instructions were very easy to follow. Thank you very much.
HI Chyrl-Ann Thank you so much, I am so happy that you enjoyed the tutorial. Makes my day and makes doing the tutorials so worth it, when I get to read comments like yours. Thank you so much ...Mike
The one thing I do not understand about this channel is WHY hasn't it got TONS more people watching it!!!!! There are a lot of people out there with "how to " channels, but this channel is the one that shows us SO much of what I think is essential information, not some extraneous process I'll never use. Thanks for an awesome channel Michael!!!!
Thanks Dave so much your support is beyond measure. I am building slowly so hopefully I can reach some more people out there in the near future. Thanks again Mike 🙏🏼
I'm new to Affinity. I have never used anything like this before. But i will be giving this a try. Thanks.
Hi So glad you found my channel, I hope you enjoy the Affinity journey. I hope you find the tutorials helpful, have fun and take your time. There are also some good face book groups as well, if you need help finding them let me know …….thanks again for watching……..Mike
Ohne of the best Tutorials for Masken i have eher Seen. Normaly i watch german Videos 😂
Wow thank you for your amazing and wonderful comment. That has made me very happy, thanks for watching and thanks for the encouragement
Great use of graphic symbols and zoom to better shows layers panels/stacking order and control selection. Too many online lessons think we all the eyes of an eagle, and then move so fast that you can't keep up. Liked and subscribed.
Hi Otto thank you so much for wonderful comment, and thank you for supporting my channel. So glad that you have joined and I look forward to chatting more in the comments…….. Mike
Great art Michael ❤️👌
Thanks you so much so glad you liked it...Mike
Michael, thank you so much. I got two different images, and followed along with you step by step -- simply outstanding! I don't understand the process yet, and just what happens when you do different things. I'll watch your video again (and again and again) to school myself on what you're doing, and use different images. Just fascinating to learn as you go through it step by step -- at a nice, understandable pace. Some videos are without sound, and the clicks are so rapid, I can't begin to follow. I really appreciate your style, your clarity, and what you are teaching. Just terrific!
This is one of my favorites of all time, so I am so glad that you enjoyed it and it all worked out for you
Awesome tutorials !
Thank you so much Adam, really happy you enjoyed this one .....Mike
Love your videos! Thank you so much❤
Hi Linda thank you so much 😊
Michael, well done.I’m also watching your microworld videos and those are also quite well done. You speak slowly and clearly for this 80 year old person’s reduced cognition.
Hi Dan thank you so much for your wonderful comment, thanks for watching the tutorials. I am happy that I can help in some small way and hope my Aussie accent is not to hard to understand lol.
I found this tutorial very easy to follow. I’ve seen a few others on double exposure in Affinity Photo but they were not easy to follow. Thank you for making my life easier.
Thank you for your great comment I am really happy that you found it easy to follow.Thanks for checking out my channel thanks for watching. I hope you find some of the other video's helpful too. 🙏🏼
Superb

Great video very informative. Hello from Melbourne, Victoria.
hey Travis thanks, so glad that it helps. I see Melbourne is having some bad weather there tonight
Awesome tutorial!
Thank you Lee
Thank you for the video! Is there a way to make multiple clipping masks? I've been using Photoshop for years, and the process there seems to be a great deal easier and more intuitive. Clipping masks stack automatically in Ps, for example, and you can create them by just right clicking on the layer and choosing clipping mask as an option.
I f I understand your question, the answer is yes you can keep clipping photos to a layer and rearrange them. Sorry i don't use Photoshop so I am not failure with how its done in PS, thanks for watching
Very helpful, thank you.
So glad that it helps you 🙏🏻
Wow! Too cool, thanks
Thank you so much
Dope 🔥
You are a legend thank you
Still getting my head around clipping and layer masks. This might be a bit for me to take on as a project but I'm really beginning to understand. Thanks for posting.
Yes it was the same for me, the more you do the more iy will make sense. Thanks for watching 😊
Wow. Beautiful to see, awesome to watch, extremely helpful, as I'm just learning masks, layers, and all of that. Will watch this more than once -- thank you!
Awesome, thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it very much 🙏🏼
Awesome job!
Thank you so much Annie hope all is well on the farm 😊
Brilliant, love it.
Thanks for watching Barb 🙏🏻
Fantastic, really informative and gives us something to learn while this world Lockdown continues, keep it up all the best from the UK
Hi And thank you so much, so glad that you are enjoying. It certainly is a crazy time please stay safe and well 😊
Morning Michael, I like this tutorial. I'm going to try this shortly. I still struggle with the selection tool, it seems to take me longer to get it right. Thanks again.
Hi William great that you are going to give it a go, sometimes zooming in when you are using the selection tool can help with getting a bit more accurate also your brush size helps a lot too
@@MikeAffinityTuts , Thanks Michael. Yeah I keep plugging away it. I noticed you reside in Adelaide, SA. I have a lot of family from my Wife's side in Aus. We have traveled from as far North as Daintree to Canberra and Uluru, NT. Very beautiful country you have. We may be back over in later 2020. Hopefully I'll have this figured out by then.
@@williamhenderson825 Hi William I am sure you will have it figured soon for sure. Great that you have been able to visit Australia, I lived in the NT for many years (Alice Springs) great times, hopefully you will make to Adelaide one day, especially if you like wine ? we have some great wine here. and if you have not figured it out by 2020 message me lol, all the best
New subscriber. Great content! Can someone explain why the blk & wht adj. affect the model instead of the NY city since it is under the NY city layer. Timestamp 7:07-7:20 Thx :)
HI Joey and welcome to the channel, in the layer stack the B&W adjustment layer in below the picture of the city and above the original picture of the woman. This will only make the woman B&W and not the city, if you move the Adjustment to the top of the layer stack it will effect everything. I hope that helps and I have explained it for you. Thanks for subscribing and supporting my channel, really glad to have you here......Mike
@Michael Wilson Thx so much for taking the time... that did help, and I greatly appreciate your time and knowledge!
@Michael Wilson As I continued to work with layers and learn more, I realized that I thought the adjustment was nested under the city, thus would have affected the city😳
Thanks a lot, It's really helpful. However, I've followed all your instructions but I couldn't have the same result as you did. at 5:33, when you place the background on to the mask, I did exactly the way you did, but the background image doesn't fill the woman figure. Instead, it' placed as background image of the woman(I used more or less the same images you've used) Can you think of any reasons for this ? I've tried multiples times but can't think of any reason.
Hi Solei I have sent you and e-mail with a little Video, I have recorded where I think you are placing the background. This will make it a little clearer .....Mike
@@MikeAffinityTuts Thank you so much for the video. Unknowingly, I've rewatched your video more than 20 times last night to see if I missed any point. I'm new to Affinity so I didn't make the "right" drag. It was much clearer when you showed me. I am so glad that I've found your channel.
@@sl55701 Awesome glad that it worked out for you and that I could help. all the Best Mike
I understand now the clipping mask in french is masque d'écretage
I like the way it sound in French, thanks for your support 🙏🏼
Hi Mike. With a layer mask do you move the layer so a slim vertical bar appears to the right of the icon and for a clipping mask you would wait for a horizontal bar to appear? I've watched so many videos of clipping and layering that some people seem to be contradicting explanations (i.e They say that a clipping mask uses the slim bar and the layer mask uses the horizontal bar). Thanks. Mick.
Hi Mick have you see this video th-cam.com/video/CBl20YGZRTk/w-d-xo.html it helped me a lot, if it doesn’t help let me know
Hi Mike, when I click on refine mask I have the main subject masked (in red) and not the outside masked out. Cant figure what I have done wrong??
Hi Wendy you just need to go to select and invert selection, in the menu bar, let me know if that helps
@@MikeAffinityTuts Yup thanks Michael…..such a simple step. Was inverting but realised I had to do this before I went to refine.
Your tutorials are great, presentation speed is perfect and I hope to enjoy a lot more…... I'll shout you a coffee or two soon !
@@wendyreid7074 So glad that it all worked out Wendy ...Mike
She has an Affinity ring 😉
Dennis van Mierlo great observation, I missed that completely lol
Tgif good morning my friend happy
Thank you so much
How do I move an object (above my background, an object I have masked on a different picture) without making a hole in my background?
Sorry Radio raven not really sure what you are asking ? .....Sorry ... I am confused
@@MikeAffinityTuts it’s hard to explain, but I did what I wanted to do. I copied persons head after using the selection tool from a different document in affinity photo, and pasted it on the my main affinity project. I don’t remember how I did it though on the iPad.
I put Phil Spencer’s head on an anime character, just his head.
So I used the selection tool on just his head, then copied and pasted it on a different picture.
I know it’s easy to do but I have forgot how I did it the next day
It was more intuitive in photoshop, I could just mask a person or object whatever and delete the unwanted background and place that person or object on my own background.
@@xshadowscreamx Ok awesome so glad that you got to do what you wanted to do and figured it out. ......Mike
I see no link to the specific images used. Is it me?
Hi Peter its not you,as I did not put the link to this photo just that it was on unsplash. I am unable to find it again, This happened with my last tutorial as well, the photo was there one day and then gone the next. This sometimes happens on unsplash for some reason. I hope you are able to find an alternative picture to use. Thanks for watching and commenting......Mike
