Mastering Affinity Photo - 5: Intro to Layers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- In this video series, I'll be demonstrating all of the features of, and how to use, Affinity Photo.
In this episode, I give an introduction to Layers and explain the different types of Layers and how you would blend parts of one layer with another to create a composite of the two. I do this by replacing the sky of one layer with that of a second layer.
I will be selling the RAW files I use in this series for a nominal fee -- check back -- I hope to have them available soon.

Anthony! Your amazing! I’ve had this picture of a couple of eagles sitting on top of a pine tree against a white sky. I’ve been trying thru selection to add a colorful sunset sky to the image. I could never get it to look right. Close, but just not right by my (low) standards, right. I tried the blend mode as per your excellent instructions and BOOM! I did it and it looks like for real!!!!! I’d give you a big fat bro hug if you were here, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Your videos have been a just what I needed as a beginer in post processing. Masks have been a nightmare upto now. Had 2 images I need to put some apples on a grey background for my camera club project. Endded up cutting and pasteing. Just been through this video. Went back to may 2 images, had the same problem as phlotographer, thanks for the heads up on the replies, and took me 5 mins to get the 2 images together. Looking forward to going through the rest of the series. Learnt so much in the first 5. Thanks for your help.
Excellent straight forward explanation, thank you.
Good teaching style, I like that you show up which tool you're using and where to get it!
Yup, most vids move to fast to see where they are clicking on.
Thank you for this video! Very EASY to listen to and follow! Thank you. Please make more for Affinity Photo!
I love you. You are the KhanAcademy of Graphic Design, more specifically with Affinity.
rather than starting the video with two layers in existence, it would have been useful to show how you added each layer to the program once it is opened and that way the student will have the information from the very beginning as to how to create the final image. I really liked your showing as to how to create the image using blending and the mask feature of AP. Maybe just an addendum to this video as to how the two layers were created would be nice. Also, when doing your work, do you adjust each layer prior to combining them or just take the original camera file and combine and then adjust?
I agree . . . but Anthony had covered that process earlier. Here is "how-to" do it.
Assuming you have a "Background (base file)" open and active:
1. On the MENU BAR - click FILE
2. scroll down to and click PLACE
3. select the photo file from your computer of from the cloud
4. click OPEN (the window will turn white for a few seconds)
5. when the background (pixel) reappear . . .
6. Position the cursor on the background pixel and drag to place and size.
7. The new layer of will be listed in the studio panel
- - - you can reposition and resize the pasted image anytime
You could repeat the process for additional object you want to add (a new layer)
@@e.cubarrubia8797 I do not have a "place " option when i click file, so how the hell do i get a second photo as a layer. it would of been nice if it was explained at the start of the video , and can you link where anthony explains this
@@e.cubarrubia8797 Worked for me, thanks!
@@BigBadLoneWolf - please, no swearing. Just slow-down and follow my instructions carefully. Mikus Sidorenko postedit it worked for him. If you still cannot see the "PLACE" it is locate on the lower third of the DROPDOWN MENU.
@@mikussidorenko8082 - you are very welcome.
Your tutorial on Layers is excellent. is it possible to get your tutorials in manual form??
Very good one
Thank you for explaining this so clearly.
You probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can stream all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Been watching with my brother lately :)
@Bruce Denver Yea, have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)
@Bruce Denver Definitely, I've been using instaflixxer for months myself =)
thanks i always have trouble with layers I'm a bigginer i now have a bit better understanding how they work will keep following your tutorials
This video really starts at 3:36
thank GOD!!!!!!
Thank you for your video am new to Affinity just upgraded today! Got to get used to this newer software was using Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended; WOW TALK ABOUT OLD! Question [prior getting into the hard stuff] how would I get a lens flare into the photo to look realistic? Do you have new videos for me to learn or do I have to go to a certain site to learn?
How did you get two pictures as layers and one as the background locked?
I have two pictures opened. First picture clicked on and it is locked. The second picture I have opened when clicked on shows the same as the first, just a background and locked. Each time clicking on a picture just changes the background layer locked.
The rest of the video is very good at the explanations.
I am new to Affinity and I absolutely Love your method of teaching. Thank you for taking the time to explain where, why, and how. However; I do have a question. I noticed that your images indicate "pixel". When I placed my images they say "image". I think this is why I can't follow and get the same results as you do. Can you advise on what I am doing wrong? I may be in the wrong video also. I am trying to blend an image I have into another image, by placing it behind words that are on there. Is there a way to do that? Am I in the wrong video. thank you in advance to anyone who can assist.
Hi. I'm a portrait artist and need help as to how to overlay photos for purpose of correcting the drawing of, and placement of facial features in a portrait painting. In this instance I'm working from a photo of my subject, and can't work out where I'm going wrong with my drawing using the traditional methods. I've been told that there is a way to upload the original reference photo, and then a photo of the painting which I can then adjust to make it the same size as the reference photo. Then I'm supposed to be able to make the photo of either the painting or the reference photo transparent and then overlay the two for comparison. I've never used more than the basic photo software that came with my Imac, and haven't a clue what to do. I've downloaded the free trial of Affinity, but before I commit to the full purchase I need to know how to to do the overlays. Can you please help me? thanks
Great video. Can you tell me how to add a different photo to the layers panel?
Very helpful video thank you.
How did you add the lighthouse shot as a layer in the first place? My intuition would be to use the "New Layer From Snapshot" in the menu, but when I click on the this there is no submenu dropdown - it doesn't do anything. Not of the other add-layer options seem appropriate either. So I've crashed before I've even got off the ground Please help! Thanks.
I appreciate your tutorial. Well done. Thank you. 👍
brilliant
Excellent
Affinity Photo is my default post-processor since October 2018. Thanks to Anthony Morgan video tutorials that helped me understand the principles behind the specific action I wish to accomplish. Anybody who ask me how to use Affinity Photo, I simply point then to Google "Anthony Morganti on Affinity Photo". . . . I have also mastered Luminar 2017-2018 from watching Anthony Morganti's video tytorials on Luminar. . . . Thanks Mr. Morganti !
How do you add layers ?
Thank you! Great video!
Hi Anthony. Do you know if Affinity Photo for the iPad Pro works in the same way as the desktop version?
Not from Anthony and because I don't use iPad, I can only offer this: Another person doing AP tutorials called Affinity Revolution has done quite a number of tutorials for the iPad so you might be able to put that into youtube search and find what you are after. You also might check with Udemy and see if they are offering any tutorials for the AP iPad version. Their would likely carry a small fee however.
Can someone please tell me how I can get the layers tab showing, I only have adjustments, effects, styles and stock showing. Thankyou.
I assume you are to the STUDIO PANEL on the right side of the Affinity Photo window.
1. On the TOOL BAR MENU ( top of the window) --- click VIEW
2. from the drop-down menu, click STUDIO (located just past halfway down)
. . . observe the √ (check marks). No √ means NOT DISPLAYED
3. click LAYER (located about halfway on the list - - - the drop-down menu will disappear. This action is called TOGGLE switch to turn ON-OFF display.
. . . the LAYER TAB will appear in the STUDIO PANEL
You can also reset the Affinity to "FACTORY default" setting. This is useful if you accidentally hide TABS or INFORMATION. You may HIDE STUDIO PANEL entirely.
Thank you
Anyone know how he got the lighthouse pic into another layer?
I have the same question. I see you didn't get answered. Or also noticing there are no responses by the Anthony.
The very top left, click File, About 3/4's of the way down you will see Place. Click on it & go to where the picture you want to import. Note: Place will be greyed out(as in not an option) if you do not have a document(picture) already open. I went to compositing in the Affinity workbook to find out how. The book has projects to work on with download pics to use. I haven't(but should) used the book like it should be. IIf I need to do something & can't find out how to do it on you tube , or from the help menu at the top of AP, I look in the book. Good luck & happy shooting.
Michigan accent?
this is a very mature comments section. I'm surprised nobody has made the obvious joke. ogres have layers
I don't mean to sound like another mean internet troll but you repeat yourselves over and over and over again. This might be OK for someone that has never used this program before, people that are generally not computer literate, and if that is your target audience, then your doing a great job. But for the rest of us, we need something quicker to the point. If we miss the point, we can always scrub though and find it again. Can't do that with this 'long winded' narrative.
Great looking easy , but still have to study your video, it’s step by step but fast for beginner To understand, including name and how to step by step and no expecting us going back to anther videos to know what’s happening 😊 shal I say I’m slow learning. 😊
