Thank you! This tutorial demonstrates features a "once in a while" Affinity Photo user might actually find useful. There are many tutorials demonstrating advanced methods that I personally would never use, so when I find a tutorial such as this I "save" it to my Affinity library. 👍
Thank you for another interesting tutorial. In reality it is more than a tutorial about masking per se. It also demonstrates the power of grouping, globally and selectively, to achieve various interesting results. Also, the little trick of using the shapes to define the area of the mask is something that had not dawned on me. Thanks for that as well.
Thank you for tutorial. I can not understand when I create vector shape, the background of it is transparent, but in the video it is black. how do you do it?
At the top right of the Layers Panel, there is a hamburger menu icon. Press on that button, and then you can change the "Thumbnail background" to Dark. 🙂
@@ArtsyLadyCrafter You drag the child layer onto the name of the parent layer. To see an example, check out this video at 4:39 in the video, ua-cam.com/video/PPNR4Xea9iU/v-deo.html
This is a great video and many months ago I came up with a similar method (using erase) to have multiple vignettes. Think of putting a spotlight on a few people that are in a team photo. Darken the photo, then erase a few peoples adjustment. Having said that, Affinity Photo is still sensitive to the order of doing things to get to the same layer set up. Hard to repeat, but the sequence of actions seem to make a difference. I'm saying there are still bugs.
@@AffinityRevolution I’m not making myself clear - even if the final order equals what you did, the process of getting there is important. Making a mistake, undoing etc, seems to leave breadcrumbs which confuse affinity photo. I understand the theory of operations, I’m just saying the order of executing the steps seems to be important. Still buggy.
Photomator and soon Pixelmator is now far ahead for retouching and mainly for selections / masking then Affinity currently is. Like select object on Photoshop, Affinity even with the latest version is far far behind. Good they did fixed the Keyboard layout short cut switch after years at leat. AI should have been implemented in 2.0
AFAIK, they're not available for the Windows PC, which is what I've been using for a long time. If these products are ever ported to Windows, I will consider them.
Very interesting Ally, a very good tuto, many thanks and well deserved success.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy using these tricks on your own photos. 😊

Thanks, Ally! I'm slowly understanding masking more.
That's great to hear! Masking is the trickiest part of Affinity Photo. Keep up the good work! 😊

Thank you! Glad you liked the video. 😊
The first masking trick-- grouping-- I needed this morning. What did I do instead? I duplicated the same mask for each adjustment layer! 😆
Haha that's certainly another way of doing it! 😛
Thanks for these tips. Btw what do you think affinity photo will do in comparison with Adobe's new generative fill
I'm not sure what they will add to Affinity. But I'm looking forward to see what they come up with. :)
Thank you Ally! Very interesting. Greetings from Vienna!

Welcome to Affinity! 😊
Me too! using Photoshop since early 2000's
Megga tips .....👌
Thank you! I'm glad you liked them. 😊
ooooo hiding the selection while dragging.....That is a game changer! I've been hiding it via the view menu for ages...such a pain!
It's a nifty little button! I didn't know about it for a long time... 😅
You rock! And affinity rocks 🎉
Go Affinity! 🥳
Another gem (gems!) Ally - thank you. :)

vespri usefull and you are very good at explaining
Thank you Alessandro! 😊
Thank you
Thanks Kevin! :)
Does this work in Affinity 1?
Yes. The only difference is that you make child layers by dragging the child layer down and to the right of the parent layer.
@@AffinityRevolution How are child layers made in V2?
@@ArtsyLadyCrafter You drag the child layer onto the name of the parent layer. To see an example, check out this video at 4:39 in the video, ua-cam.com/video/PPNR4Xea9iU/v-deo.html
@@AffinityRevolution Oh, somewhat easier but still dragging. I thought it would be a quick click, or something. Thanks!

That's true. The order of your layers is very important in Affinity Photo.

Interesting enough. I get the group mask. How to use the group layer mask to individually control adjustments and pixel layers within that group?

Like select object on Photoshop, Affinity even with the latest version is far far behind. Good they did fixed the Keyboard layout short cut switch after years at leat.

I agree. I hope we get AI selection tools soon!
AFAIK, they're not available for the Windows PC, which is what I've been using for a long time. If these products are ever ported to Windows, I will consider them.
what would be the difference between the regular mask and the new empty mask?
Sadly I can't get the Gaussian Blur filter to work on the oval
Something I've just find about.
I'm glad you could learn something new! 😊
Thanks Ally, another cracker
