How To Create a Powerful Text Portrait Poster in Affinity photo

[@IAMRENSI]

What do you think of the new logo and intro?? 💭

[@xzenor]

I personally preferred the previous one, because it was so different from all those other tutorial-channels. Not so fast and flashy but a bit more down to earth, as we dutch people are (well, mostly..). Not that the new one is bad though. It looks cool. I just liked the old one more.

Thank you, Young Man. You are teaching an 80 year old man new tricks and skills.

[@widjet25]

That was another “glued to the screen” tutorial. Your presentation was so professional and easy to follow. I love that cool new modern looking logo. As always you are teaching us new and exciting ways to do photo manipulation. Thank you, Rensi.

[@IAMRENSI]

Hey brother! Thanks as always for your kind words and support. I'm glad you like the new logo! I just sent you an email, let's have a chat buddy. It's been a while! :)

The Matrix is worth the watch, unique.

[@IAMRENSI]

I still have never seen it.. I think I should give it a go

I absolutely love this idea. Thank you ❤

It’s simpel, yet very powerful! Happy you like the idea! I’m glad to help! If you have any other cool ideas, let me know and perhaps I can turn it into a tutorial 🙌

[@bluenotejunkie4209]

I think it's awesome dude!! Worth the work.....great Job!

[@IAMRENSI]

Thanks a ton, buddy ! I appreciate your kind words 👊🏼

[@Goldmangun]

Brilliant, thank you! The new intro is great!

[@IAMRENSI]

Awesome! I'm happy to hear that! I figured it was time for a refreshment since I had the other one since my second vid or so. Kind of got bored of it.. 😅

[@xzenor]

Cool video. Learned a few tricks again, especially in the character dialog. I noticed something though. There was no need to make the left half layer.

[@IAMRENSI]

Hey! Yea I figured my workflow for this tutorial wasn't the best one haha 😅 But well, it definitely got the job done. Thanks for watching anyways!

[@RodolfoVanzini]

Thank you Rens. Very good job. Thanks.

Great instructional video RENs

[@IAMRENSI]

Happy you enjoyed the tutorial. Thanks a lot, John! 🔥

[@gerrywidnell7304]

Great tutorial as always. Thank you.

[@IAMRENSI]

Awesome, I’m glad you enjoyed ! Your welcome, buddy 👊🏼

[@catospanky]

Great effect. Great tutorial. Thanx.

[@IAMRENSI]

You’re very welcome Dave ! 👊🏼

[@TheGadgetGuru]

I'm enjoying your videos. Keep them coming! Question: I'm stuck on one part of this. When I attempt to nest the text layer under the background image, the font is remaining solid and not translucent. I have no idea what I'm doing incorrectly.

[@IAMRENSI]

Thanks Gadget Guru! Make sure to clip the text to the right side of the layer thumbnail (not to the bottom-right of the layer). However, Ram M. suggested to clip the background to the text layer instead. Haven’t tried it yet, but it should make things easier to adjust later on. Hope this helps!

[@aaronandmelody]

Excellent.

[@IAMRENSI]

Thanks Aaron! Appreciate it 👌🏼

[@mvuyisimfengu1641]

Like the revamp...look at you bruv

[@IAMRENSI]

Awesome ! Very glad to hear that bro, and thanks as always for tuning in ! 🔥

[@Rusty_Knight10]

Love your videos. Just a question, wouldn't it be better to snap the left pixel layer below the text instead? It'd be easier to edit the text, if needed. Just need to hide the pixel layer. The way you did it, there's no way to edit (e.g. typos... etc) the text without unsnapping the the text out.

[@IAMRENSI]

That does make total sense indeed! Sometimes I'm still messing up the workflow just like in this case haha.. Glad you shared this feedback. Thanks!

[@Dolomic]

Thanks a million

[@AndySlug]

You just helped me get thrue classwork XD

[@IAMRENSI]

Haha that’s awesome. I got your back buddy 📚

@@IAMRENSI it's my first year at middle school. And we had the final exam as photoshop artworks. I got A thx

[@IAMRENSI]

Very well done, I’m glad I could help you out 👌🏼 Keep up the good work haha

[@sergiomachado2739]

Super

[@IAMRENSI]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching! New portrait manipulation video coming up in a few hours! :)

[@radytc]

Hi Rens, In case of the frame text tool I am not able to follow you. The font (same Impact) size 380 is huge in my case. Or have I done something wrong?

[@IAMRENSI]

Hey Rady! This probably has to do with your document size. If you'd use the same document size as I do, the effect should be the exact same. Hope this helps! 🤙🏽

[@duff1066]

another great video thanks ....what Drawing Tablet would you recommend for affinity

[@IAMRENSI]

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed! I'm using the Huion Inspiroy Dial Q620M (amzn.to/3uXPe0N) and I'm very very satisfied with it - especially because of the dial! It allows very quick brush size changing. I will consider making a review video about it.

[@DaveLynchWriter]

YOu are showing cool stuff, but as a newbie it's sooo fast. I am watching, pausing, doing, and always at the end something happens real fast and I am "whhaaaaat?" I don't know how mine looks so different :-(

[@fight4thebad742]

Where are u in Netherlands

[@IAMRENSI]

I'm currently in the French Alps :)

[@webphone5167]

Hello. I opened a psd file which contains text layers in Affinity. Now I can not edit the text. I can not change text font style. It is a pixel layer. Pleade what can I do?

[@IAMRENSI]

Hey! Once it's a pixel layer, as far as I know you can't convert it back into a text layer. What I would do is create a new text layer, type out the text (and figure out the right font and settings to make it look as similar as possible) and delete the pixel layer text! Hope this helps :)

[@webphone5167]

@@IAMRENSI Thanks Rensi. I found it. I went edit-preferences-general-import smart objects and it works perfect now.
