Painted Sketch Effect Affinity Photo

[@beniciomoldenado2315]

I have been using Photoshop CS6 for quite some time and recently discovered Affinity Photo. Affinity Photo blows CS6 out of the water. In this video your result is great, and this is far and away the best instructional video I have seen. Thank you, I am definitely subscribing.

[@davro06]

I know that many people have left Photoshop in favour of Affinity and loving it Hector Caroselli, I'm one of them!:) So pleased that you enjoyed the video and thanks for the kind comment and subscribing. Cheers David :)

[@tombell8894]

Excellent! I like that you focused on brush strokes, something other similar tutorials handled poorly.

[@davro06]

Tom Bell pleased that you enjoyed the tutorial, brush strokes are one of the most important of a painterly effect... so I always try to cover it. Cheers David

[@eposic]

It's great having this kind of info freely available with such a clear explanation and demonstration. Thank you for this!

[@davro06]

Glad you enjoyed it Michael K. Eidson and thanks for the kind comment :) David

[@Keefcooks]

Fantastic! I've been looking for a decent 'oil painting' filter, but this method looks pretty painless and I love the way you explained it. Thanks.

Glad to hear you found it helpful Cindy Michaud, David

[@wweiss11]

Excellent tutorial - they all should be like this. Can you do one that extracts a complex foreground (say, a tree) from a complex background (say, a forest)?

[@davro06]

Thank you for the kind comment wweiss11, however extracting a tree from a forest could take a little bit longer to do :) Cheers david

[@soundesigner7]

Amazing tutorial man- very useful

[@davro06]

Good to hear you found the video useful Bala H Cheers David

[@raymokr]

Great video-Thanks- Could you tell me what it is about the painted layer ( dodge and burn ) that allows the bottom layer to show through ( like a mask )? It works great but just wondering how.

[@davro06]

Pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video Ken Raymond. The reason that you could see the underlying layer is because the blend mode is set to colour dodge, you are looking through the Painted layer to the Background. Hope that helps, cheers David

[@michael-lt2lf]

Fantastic! Thank you so much for this.

[@davro06]

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video michael 232 :)

[@ianyorke2617]

Subscribed. Good to have Affinity Photo tutorials rather than PS based for which 000's already exist.

[@davro06]

Thanks for Subscribing Ian Seward, lots more tutorials to come with Affinity Photo :)

[@MrBooojangles]

Wow what a great effect. Thanks for uploading this tutorial. I'm bookmarking your video for future reference. Just a thought, but is it possible to save what you've done as a custom effect, (or filter) to use as a kind of shortcut to add on to other images, in Affinity Photo.

[@davro06]

Pleased to hear you enjoyed the tutorial MrBooojangles and you've bookmarked my videos :) You can record steps as a Macro (Actions in PS) but where brush strokes are used it's a little more difficult. My latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKmsoYqhotOSd5Y would be ideal as a Macro and I may well do a tutorial on this soon, David

[@JulesMoyaert_photo]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks!

[@davro06]

Pleased to hear you enjoyed the tutorial Jules Moyaert. :)

[@Orthodoxuk]

Very difficult to follow without the picture to see the detail of, especially trying to translate to the ipad version.

[@davro06]

Sorry to hear that you found it difficult to follow Paul Elliott. This technique does work on many types of images so well worth trying and as ever experimenting. Unfortunately I don't have an iPad otherwise I would produce videos where I would use it. Cheers David

[@krawunkel5306]

Nice explanation, great result. Thank you. Wow, am I the first of next 10000? :-)))

[@davro06]

You where very close to being the first one to take me over 10k Kra Wunkel 😄. Pleased that you enjoyed the end result.

[@101jumpit]

Why do it with Affinity, Not photoshop ? I still enjoyed the video though :)

[@davro06]

Hi GROUP 13 Affinity is gaining in popularity, it's a great programme to use with lots of neat features. Best of all once you've purchased it (around 50.00) all updates are free veuse Photoshop subscription 10.00 GBP per month. Pleased you still enjoyed the video, you can follow it in PS too :) Cheers David
