6:52 Hi Olivio, you can add a text to the perspective projection - duplicate the layer two times (if you want to change the opacity on your text), open live projection, add text with the text tool, merge the text down (CTRL+E), remove live projection and you can set the opacity of the layer and the text at the same time or you can play with the blend options. You do superb tutorials, I have learned a lot, best, Steven.
Thanks so much for this. Simple and to the point. Saved me lots of time, I had forgotten how to use this tool! Plus I haven't used the in-paint tool yet, great option to try instead of cloning, as I used to do
Hello, I was following your tutorial but, for example, with my version of Affinity photo on a new Mac Mini (with OSX Big Sur) your helpful tip to drag a ruler simply does not work - unless I am missing something!! Help?
Nice one. Did i miss the Source/Destination method in this video? While in Single plane mode, you select Source from the dropdown menu, move the corners to match the Source Perspective, the select Destination and move the points to the perspective you want to match.
I enjoyed this tutorial. You found a problem when you did the building and you painted on it. I have a similar problem that I want to place an image onto a billboard which is angled and I cannot get it to work. Have you found a way to do this. Perhaps a tutorial would be great.
Great tutorial! Thank you. Is there a way to make perspective projection fit into its own aspect ratio rather than Canvas ratio? The same as in Photoshop with their "Perspective Crop" tool. I'm trying to quickly straighten posters, stickers etc. from photos without eyeballing the proper aspect ration.
I'm not sure what you mean by its own ratio. I don't think there is something like perspective crop. I would simply Crockett after adjusting the prospective. :)
Hi - is there a good keystone tool in Affinity Photo. I used to do my lens corrections in PS and it was great, I have Capture One now in its very fiddly. I haven't seen anyone do lens corrections to a ultra wide angle lens in Affinity.
Hi Olivio, thank you for your tutorials. I am starting with AP 1.9 and I need some help. When working with a portrait oriented photo (like the one you are using above) the two points I should work with in order to correct the perspective are shown horizontally and not vertically. How can I correct the situation ? Thank you
Jim Air 18 minutes ago Excellent thanks, Olivio! Not sure yet whether the new version 1.7.1 improves on the possibilities, however, you have given me lots of good things to practice.
So when I type a text and select the perspective and then manipulate the perspective notes the text stays the same. It does not transform like on your video. WHY??
But then after being rasterized and further edit in Designer, you cannot change the colors anymore of the text.... Very limited!! Or am I missing something??
Hi gkassel, sorry i was certain i already answered you comment: you can now also use the live perspective filter found right below your layers tab in the live filters. that's much easier.
OH MY GOODNESS THAT 2D PERSPECTIVE THING IS AWESOME!!!!!!! A designer's choice right here guys wow. But a quick tip. You CAN project and use these prospective, use new layers and apply what you need. Affinity is non destructive completely EXCEPT for bringing in a new project, it drops the old without asking and you will permanently lose your prior project.
@@OlivioSarikas No what i mean is you know how PS opens a new tab for new projects? Then you can click through the ones you work in for copy/paste?... This one if you command-N, it simply overrides the project completely without warning permanently erasing everything you did with no way to retract. it
@@OlivioSarikas Man you know what, I guess I was wrong, it DOES have tabs! The tabs blend so well I never realized that they even existed! lol I just happed to watch a video of yours and saw tabs and I was like wait a sec lol.. I feel relieved, but STILL love my artboards.
Hi Toni, thank you. You need the "ruler" visible to be able to drag them out. If you can't see the ruler or the guides, click "view" menu and make a hook next to show ruler and show guides :)
Hi Olivio, I have had a chance to use this method and I think it will take a little while to master, the photo I worked on has a Church exterior with cream coloured columns, when I tried to straighten them using the perspective tool, the "fixed" lines then appeared jaggered and uneven. I tried to use inpainting to smooth them but it didn't do the job, have you had this issue before using perspective and how did you correct it please? maybe its a suggestion for another tutorial video :-)
Hi Toni, did you zoom into the image, to see if it's not just an error with how Affinity Photo displays the image? Also, maybe you sterched the image too far, so it became pixelated. The impainting tool isn't really meant for that. It's for when you want to remove objects from a image. I could help you more if i could see the picture, but feedback on pictures is reserved for Patrons of my channel only. www.patreon.com/sarikas
@@OlivioSarikas I think you've identified the problem, as I'm learning how far the perspective tool works, there will probably be limitations with stretching. I really liked the feature that Lightroom had where it would adjust perspective with a click of a button, it's great that we have more control with affinity but I guess it can be "over-cooked". Looking forward to seeing your next videos.
Why isn't my text changing when I use the perspective tool? I think I did exactly as you did and nothing happens. I insert some text, hit the perspective tool and grab a corner anchor and it doesn't move. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Thanks for the fast reply. I went straight from inputting the text to the perspective tool. It put a grid around it, but it just didn't do anything. I also tried your trick with the building and that didn't work either. The only thing I could do was change the perspective of the entire image, but that doesn't help me too much. I'm using the trial version of the software, so maybe it's a bug that isn't in the paid version. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's strange. Did you use the Perspective tool right below the text too? Don't use the "Perspective Projection" in the Layer menu for this. If you used the Perspective tool, the text layer should automatically convert into a pixel layer. It says (Pixel) next to the layer, in the layer window. When you see the grid, you should be able to pull the corners, that should look like little white squares. Another reason this might not work is that you might have locked the text layer by accident. If that is the case, a little lock symbol is shown right side of the layer in the layer window. Other than that, i can't imagine why it didn't work for you. Maybe someone in the very helpful facebook community can help you. I'm also a member there: facebook.com/groups/828038617293628/
I figured it out. I had to click on the text layer, rasterize it and then click on the perspective button, I was then able to change the perspective. thanks.
Thanks very much for this awesome tutorial. I am interested in colour correction and portrait editing techniques and skills. By any chance you could tell me how to learn more Affinity Photo? Thanks in advance.
great video... learned how to actually use the perspective tool now, Thanks! Is there a possibility of you showing how to use the selection tools to crop out images? "people" It seems like I always end up with having transparent edges somewhere on the photo. They never really look clean. Blurry edges and such.
Thanks! I take photos and some clients like the images cut out from the background to use on various social media posts and on their website. Some images take me over an hour to get an "ok" png image... not all images are hard to do but so far it has been 50/50. Thanks in advance Olivio! Love your channel. Not sure how to message you in Patreon so commenting here.
Thank you very much. It would help me a lot if you could send me one of the pictures you have problems with. Best if you could send it to me with and without the background cut, so i can see where you have the problems. I will not show this photo to anyone and i won't use it in the video. It's just so i get a better idea of your problem. you can message me on Facebook or here on UA-cam with a link. wetransfer.com/ is a good way to share files. they are deleted automatically after a certain time
Thank you. The Tools need a little to get used to them, but once you get a hang of it you can not only do amazing things, you can also create perspectives that are impossible in real life but look a lot better than the real thing. Have fun! :)
Sorry, i couldn't find anything about that online. Hopefully some of the iPad users know more about that. If that feature is missing, you could your a rectangle shape instead and make it transparent enough to still see what's behind it. It's not as easy as a guide, but it's a straight line that gives you orientation.
Olivio Sarikas Thank you. I just tried using rectangles as guides. They work very well. (I still like to have a ruler for other things. Maybe someone knows.)
I just tested this using guides. The bad news is when you select the perspective tool the guides disappear. The work around is to place the guides, then save the perspective correction as a live layer and adjust, then turn the guides on again to check. Not ideal but it does work on the ipad and its better than guessing.
Looks like a very good alternative to PS which I refuse to pay subscription on principle. Im not a pro user making a living out of it, although I need a good one to make pro adjustments as I have a couple of ideas im thinking about regarding making some money. I know you have to purchase this app, but at least you only pay once (£48.99 in UK) but it has tools which the free photo editing apps simply dont have.

Olivio delivers once again. Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
I have watched again today, Olivio. I have not seen a better or more thorough explanation as this. Many thanks!
Thank you, JIm. That makes me very happy :)
Excellent presentation. Not too fast for me as a french guy. I do understand everything. Thanks for sharing
Love it! This was more information than I needed, but it definitely opened more possibilities to my creations! You're Awesome!
Very well thought through presentation, thank you !
Thank you for an easy to understand video.
Best wishes to you and your family and bye for now.
Many thanks! best wishes to your family too. stay save

On a roll today! Great job. Thanks.
This is a very helpful tutorial. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
You save my day, thanks for sharing it was so helpful for me .

Fantastic and thorough tutorial... thanks for making it! Subscribed!
also the perspective tool can be used non-destructively when using it as a live filter layer...
True, but that wasn't a thing back in 2018 :)
Damn man, your modified photos look more natural than the originals.
Thank you Olivio, clear and to the point! Do you by any chance know if this can be done on the iPad version as well?
sorry, i don't have a iPad. But you could ask in my Facebook Fan Group: facebook.com/groups/oliviotutorials.superfan/
Great video, many thanks for a clear and concise explanation of this tool
Thank you very much :)
Your videos are really great! Thank you!
In the affinity designer that I use there is no perspective tool, how do I bring it up?
Quality tutorials for Affinity Photos are still pretty rare, this is on! Subs and Liked!
Thank you!
Thanks for the sub! Happy you like my videos :) Also check out my life streams :)
love this tool!

How can we superimpose another picture for eg. a graffiti or a panting on the wall, while using perspective tool or live projection
I ahve two videos about that here: ua-cam.com/video/5bFBGFpgYqQ/v-deo.html and here ua-cam.com/video/svaIoTqIWdU/v-deo.html

I had no idea of the power of the perspective tool before seeing this.

I'm not quite sure actually. Are you maybe working on a iPad and the screen is rotated to the side? They always show up the right way for me
