Affinity Photo Composite -Lost at Sea

[@E4gleheart]

Hi Mike, Happy New Year to you. This is fantastic! I can feel the despair the crew on that old , rusty fishing boat may experience in this rescue mission. Not easy to save the man in the row boat. I really enjoyed following this tutorial. Seems you're upping the level of creating art with use of AP features and your imagination. Very well done. The result is stunning! Regards from Jon

Hello Michael, very nice success for your return on KZbin. The composition is not easy, and the treatment of the light complicated, in spite of that the result is at the top. Thanks for your fantastic tutorials and see you soon .

Happy New Year and lots of new tutorials (that's what I rather wish for me 🙂). You are reliable as always. Please - Don't listen to people who say "AI only". As you probably know, I am trying this novelty (ok, now it isn't novelty no more). Well, it's useful, nice and fast at times, but it gets boring after a while. Only when the elements rendered by AI are combined in a composite with others (for example from stock) gets really cool and you can feel not only a craftsman, but also an artist. But to create a composite, you need to know how to do it, and that's what you show in an accessible way in your tutorials. Please don't stop doing this Jurek Mg

[@MikeAffinityTuts]

Thank Jurek I won't be using AI anytime soon, I much prefer to make the composite myself. I can see how it may be useful in some area's. I have tried it out and but it's not for me. Happy new year to you I hope 2023 is going to be amazing for you. Thank you for all your amazing support .....Mike

Can i just say, i so wanted you to mask the spotlight back in..hahah You made it white then filled over with your blue layer and i was itching to just paint that bright spot back in...hahahahah Maximum OCD please !!! Fabulous composite mate... love it !!

[@MikeAffinityTuts]

HI Michael yes I can see what you mean for sure, sometimes when doing the tutorials I do miss some little details like that. Thanks for the amazing comment and thanks for the support on my channel it is so much appreciated.......Mike

Howdy Mike. Great tutorial. Makes me want to cancel my fishing trip. You really made a "splash" with this one....sorry.

[@MikeAffinityTuts]

Hey mate don't cancel the fishing trip, just be careful with what's is lurking under the boat lol. Thanks for the great comment and for your amazing support...Mike

It’s 2023 Mike.. why are you working so hard? We leaving hard work in 2022.. Sign up for Midjourney and create these works with just a few words! Let the AI work magic 😎

[@MikeAffinityTuts]

HI JB I get a little more satisfaction creating the pictures myself. I have seen what AI can create and it's kind of mind blowing though. take care thanks for commenting ...Mike

[@ATLJB86]

@@MikeAffinityTuts i know what you mean.. That was my mindset until I actually tried it last week. Then I started to think.. Is it really worth spending hours to create something an AI can do in seconds.. I came around to understanding that things are changing so it’s best to change with it or get left behind.. I still do my own work, just enhance it a bit with Ai. More for assets you could say.. Textured backgrounds, overlays, abstract colors, beautiful gradients, etc. try it Mike! Make some oil paint backgrounds and watercolor textures to add in your work 😁

[@MikeAffinityTuts]

HI JB I have played around with it, and I was amazed on what it could do. I do follow along with what's happening with AI out of interest. Some of the sites that I follow for photo manipulation have banned any type of AI created material at the moment. I will be very interesting to see where it all goes and as you say things are changing in the AI world at a rapid pace. The future is already here ......Mike
