You guys are actually professional and I see a lot of hard-work invested into every video you make. It’s awesome!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you! I'm glad the hard work is noticeable. 😅

Thank you for having the patience to explain it as well as your dear husband would have done. Excellent, now I understand the purpose of all three brushes.

Hi from France, thang you for your very good tutos.

[@AffinityRevolution]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching. 😊

[@genelakenetau]

Excellent as usual. Well explained. I’m primarily using an iPad Pro and would love to see this tutorial using iPad. I usually get the idea from your Mac tutorials and set about adapting to the iPad but it’d be great to see you do this with iPad primarily. (I struggle with iPad in the healing / clone area) Either way - thank you.

[@clarification007]

Starbuck265 Also with IPad Mini generation 5. Please!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you for the feedback. We are planning on redoing our most popular videos on the iPad at some point. We just need to get around to it. 😅

[@clarification007]

@@AffinityRevolution // Thanks! But PLEASE, think about to do some in French!

[@dreamwithinadream]

This is just what I needed.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Awesome! I'm glad you liked the video. :)

[@davinsuan2999]

Healing brush tool is my most favorite one on acne !! It works quite so easy and well..

[@AffinityRevolution]

I love it too! 😊

[@dragone7e]

Thanks for sharing the tips! They help me a lot as I'm a beginner when it comes to photo editing. I'm wondering if you could make a video on how to fix double chin? There are many video tutorials to do that in Photoshop, but I can't seem to find it for Affinity Photo. Thanks in advance!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thanks for the idea! 😊

[@EnsoIlluminations]

Ally, I always look forward to your videos. If I might offer a suggestion, for retouching, please consider using the clone stamp tool at a higher hardness. This allows for fewer "halos" around the edges and helps maintain the integrity of the skin's texture. Thanks. Take care and stay safe.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thanks for the tip! :)

[@AugustoANouelP]

Nice and helpful tutorial. These tools are very easy and useful for small details and quick retouching. A bit more complex "Frequency Separation" process (recommended) works well for retouching and sharpening the entirely photo then, later or in conjunction with it, you may use the above tools for correcting missed or small details. (It's also possible, convenient or even necessary changing the brush size for working different details and areas). •••Thanks for sharing!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Frequency Separation is amazing. Thank you for sharing your retouching process! 😊

[@StevenDempseyArtist]

Great tutorial, Ally. I don’t use the healing brush much so those tips were good to know. My favorite retouching tool for skin blemishes is actually the patch tool. It takes a little time to get used to it but it’s really efficient and much faster than the clone stamp. You can decide the exact size of the patch and from where the replacement is being sampled. Personally, I find the in painting tool to be a little slow and unpredictable.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Nice, thanks for sharing! It's always good to hear how other people work. 🙂

[@bj1676]

Great tutorial :)

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you! 😊

Thanks forever!!

[@AffinityRevolution]

My pleasure! 😊

[@Q80splendor]

can i use the photoshop plug inn for affinity photo

[@AffinityRevolution]

Some PS plugins work, and some don't. It's a little hit or miss. You can ask about specific plugins on the official Affinity forums: forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/5-affinity-on-desktop-questions-mac-and-windows/

[@dniliveact]

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you! 😊

Ally...I love listening to you❣️ You have a very nice voice that is so relaxing 😌 Thank you for this great lesson. P.S. Give my regards to Ezra. I miss him... but I enjoy your tutorials very much too! 😉 ~ Paulette

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you! I will pass your support onto Ezra. 🙂

[@philipzwick]

Well modulated, easy to follow tutorial. Especially as I did know know that the Healing Brush addresses texture. But what about the Blemish Removal Tool? Isn't that useful, too?

[@AffinityRevolution]

I honestly don't use the Blemish Removal Tool. Instead, I use the Inpainting Brush. But if you like the Blemish Removal Tool, then go ahead and use it - to each their own! 🙂

[@mohitrelekar2124]

Hey, does using more masks increase file size. Is there a way to combine or edit masks. (Sorry newbie here)

[@AffinityRevolution]

Masks are very very small (for file size), so I would not worry about that. If you want though, you can place a mask on a group (see this video for details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX2coZJ4ep2nZ9U

[@lendumore]

I have a question unrelated to this tutorial..how do you stop your exported images from coming out 2-3 stops darker than they were inside of affinity photo? I find myself re-editing my images on iPhone apps just to get it back to how it looked in the original export..it's so frustrating!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Hmmm... it's not supposed to do that. Sorry, I'm not sure why that is.

[@marcomark8]

Are you a course is just for retouching on the computer app or do you have retouching on an iPad Pro course?

[@AffinityRevolution]

They are only for the Mac/PC version right now. I will need to make an iPad version at some point. 🙂

[@Pramoduncan]

Hi! Frequency Separation directly when I edit my wife's pic..learned that too from your video..Thanks ! These are the soldiers of Frequency Separation.

[@AffinityRevolution]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching. 😊

[@Migmar]

I do more video editing than photos - I wondered if Affinity is thinking of doing a video editor or if anyone had a low-end one (I basically just chop off the beginning and end)

[@AffinityRevolution]

I don't think they are planning on making one anytime soon... 😕

[@balitam]

Thank you for your video! I have a question: Can I use in this program something similar like patch tool? I usually use it in photoshop if I make retouching. Thank you in advance!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Yes, Affinity has the Patch Tool, just like Photoshop. It can be found under the same group of tools that has the Inpainting Brush and Healing Brush. I just don't use the patch tool very much, so that's why I did not mention it in the video. 🙂

[@GPMG25]

Affinity has a patch tool. It is under the Healing brush tool

[@TheJonesbouy]

Question: Does this only work on jpeg or can Affinity edit raw also?

[@AffinityRevolution]

Affinity can edit RAWs. 🙂

[@iemwill9429]

do you know if the blemish removal tool would work?
