Just WOW. So on point, so clear. I learned more in this video than weeks of screwing around on my own. THANK YOU.

Hi Michael, a tutorial using blend modes would be very helpful!

[@kevinlewis9098]

My god this was excellent, I was using layers all wrong or clearly did not understand them well enough. Thanks Michael, off to practice now.

No waste. Thanks again!

[@robozbeci]

Thank you very much! There was just one thing I missed: what happens when we stack the layers together, and what do they represent?

[@genegustafson715]

What about layering and syncing several photos for blending flashed areas?

[@Argyll9846]

New user of Affinity here. Why are new (pixel) layers filled with the current colour when you create them?

[@joeking5211]

t 6:17 not on my v.110 you can't drag without the layer moving. Are you on a mac or something, no go on Win10.

Okay I've opened a photo using Open comand and it is on a layer, but how do I add another photo to a new layer so I can merge them after masking later. It seems that every time use the open command, the old layer and phto disappear and a the new photo is on the one layer.

[@MichaelSturgill]

The easiest way would probably be just to drag and drop the photo onto the canvas. When you do the open option it's probably creating a new canvas with that photo. You might notice that just below your toolbar you have two tabs with the photos you've opened. If that's the case you can drag the layer from one into another. Hope this helps!

Good video, cheers. 👍 One little tip: if you could just...slow.......down...........a bit. 😂 Remember, for the viewer, often a novice like me, there's a lot to take in at once, what you're saying, what's on the screen, what you're doing, where the cursor is etc. Just chill. 👍 😉

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for the feedback!

Is there something I can help you understand?

[@NightSkyIsATimeMachine]

So is there really no easy way to just merge layers?? lol this is getting annoying. If i can't simply merge layers, I don't think I will be using AD

[@MichaelSturgill]

To merge layers you just have to select the layers you want to merge, right click on them and select merge layers

[@SolihullRog]

Miles too fast. What is your objective? What does each step do? Desribe each click... zzz
