Affinity Photo - Structure your layers for better performance and usability

[@sibeldesibel]

I m a new affinity user, I bought it a few months ago. I like the app. But after using photoshop more than 10 years the layer system of affinity seems a little bit comoplicated to me. I always try to fix some of my mistakes and sometimes I can't use those adjustment layers or masks as good as I want. My habds are looking for Ps functionalities. But of course I don't want to be a subscriber of Adobe , it s very unfair to rent the app for years. I hope I'll get used to live with Affinity soonn :) By the way thank you for the videos :) Have a beautiful day

Thank you for comment and welcome to the club! Layer logic is definitely is a big change if you are coming from PS, especially the clipping/child makes it super confusing for new users :) As with anything, you get used to it and even master it. When i go back to PS from time to time, PS now feels strange and unlogical to me.

I was a long time pshop user and migrated to affinity easily, the layers aren’t that much different. Only thing that trips people up is rasterising a layer if it’s still in image format, which will make you scratch your head when selections and filters don’t work as you expect etc. Adobe has had years to get their app to where it is, people seem to expect affinity to be all that with only a few years out, it’s a great work in progress and my pocket loves it!
