      Setting for the 2nd and 3rd shot were:
      Shutter: 3200
      ISO: 400

    @miketwain202 2 роки тому +1

    I’m trying to figure out how to achieve a lot of these techniques in Affinity Photo. The first shot had a lot of drastically contrasting elements where the second achieved a balance which is more natural to the eye. Its an issue of creative noise (not artifact noise). Its the same thing that happens in audio with ear fatigue. Enough loudness and or noise duration of aggressive frequencies turns off that part of the brain which processes it. The result is you loose interest. A well balanced approach allows you to fall into the shot easier. It works with the way your brain processes visual information naturally. Now I love my dramatic lighting effects, I think everyone does. However suspension of belief is a real thing in every artistic medium. If it has too many details which push it past belief it seems unnatural. Some people won’t even want to engage with it. The less your mind has to think about it the more you can enjoy what’s there. Always love your content brother!

    Hey quick tip that doesn’t have anything to do with using masks for layers lol. You can use the sharp corner (I don’t know the exact name) bracket keys to resize your brush and eraser tool. Helps so you don’t have to go to the advance tool menu all the time to resize the brush.

    Cool process. Normally I would go with layer masking for the blending but whatever gets the job done.
    Tough choice for the final Jango shot. I like the explosions better on the darker one. But Jango looks really good on the lighter one. Either way, awesome shots! 👌

    How would you handle if you needed to change camera settings between shots but same positioning? Or if you want to have various figures in the picture be in focus (focus stacking)?

    • @sirdork730
      @sirdork730  Рік тому +1

      I usually try to keep my settings the same actually, but if you do, try your best to mimic the same brightness in each photo. Then if they don’t blend well, try adjusting the brightness of the other layers using the “curves”.
      For focus stacking (I need to make a video on this 😂) almost all of the same things apply, just do your best to cut/paste everything where it needs to be!
