It is another inspiring creative composition that makes this dreamer wanting to fly. Well, at least so far I found my own dock to jump from. I’m thinking, I’m thinking…..???

[@markferrell2470]

I personally liked it when the sky was a darker blue. Thanks for the help

[@MikeAffinityTuts]

Hi Mark Thanks for watching, that's the great thing about a tutorial it gives you the ability to see how its done and then change things to suit your taste. in this case not applying the LUT will leave you with the darker blue look. thanks again for watching and commenting much appreciated ....Mike

[@widjet25]

Michael: that was so amazing. I learned so much about details. Those little shadow enhancements and highlights where needed. Using blend mode to fade out the sky. I must watch this over and over again to get the entire lesson down. Simply great teaching. Thank you.

Another banging video Michael, you’re elevating my understanding of Affinity workflow so much more than the dry std vid’s that AF put out (James is so dull it hurts my brain). Keep em comin fella, appreciated 💯

[@MikeAffinityTuts]

Hi Andy appreciate it, so glad that you like the Vids, thanks for the awesome support

[@birdie399]

Your composite video is the first one that I have been able to follow. Btw when you save do you have to flatten the layers?

[@MikeAffinityTuts]

HI and thanks for watching, no you don't have top flatten the layers if you don't want to, You can export as a Jpeg or any other format or just save as to keep the Affinity file structure with all layers in tacked . Thanks again ...Mike

[@frankyap6432]

Great composite skill. as a beginner, i am slow at following your steps. Any possibility to download your commendations?

Hi jan thanks so much, The shooting star is created in the editing software Final Cut pro and is done by key framing...Mike

[@garyhunt8455]

Michael - it's very obvious you know what your doing with Affinity. I'm quite impressed. Have a question, why do so many youtube channels related to Affinity always want to do these creative images? All I'm interested in is improving my images. My wife and I travel quite a bit and I really enjoy working on my photography. I'm sorry but I guess I wouldn't call this photography. More inclined to think of your creativity as being something someone would use in a marketing department. Like I said you do wonderful work but I need someone that help me with my photography.

[@MikeAffinityTuts]

Gary I could talk to you about this subject all day, I call this photo manipulation and I put it into a different category than photography. I would be interested to know what you want to do with your photography, and in what way you want to improve it, beyond the the basics like EG exposure, highlights and shadows, contrast and the like. Are you talking about changing sky's, removing objects making the photo look different from what came out of your camera ? There is so many different opinions, I for one used to be very guilty of watching so many tutorials and I ended up way over editing my images and they just looked fake in the end. Its a trap we all fall into, my advise and I know its not worth much but I would stick to the basics especially for travel images, as long as you have a good composition you may only need to adjust exposure, white balance and highlights and shadows, go easy on the contrast and clarity. Anyway mate I feel your pain if I can help in anyway let me know ...Mike
