You’ve just made me realize that I need a new folder labeled “Most Helpful.” Blend modes are amazing, but often confusing. Plus, I’m glad I can avoid “crazy town!” 😆 YES! Please do more on blend modes! ❤️

Thanks Olivio for this and all of your Affinity videos. You've really helped me turn the corner on learning and experimenting, particularly with your advising not trying to learn the nitty gritty technical background, but use one's own artistic sense. It has really helped a lot, so that I feel like I am using a pallete, rather than an a hopeless morass of digital mysteries and technical gotchas.

Like not with curves but real fluffy as if would be a real cat or a dandelion for example. This do not work for me with curves. I don;t know what to try to get it right. Thanks in advance!

I could have done with this intro last year at this time, I transposed over from Photoshop tutorials from Blake Rudis with some mental high jinks. There's something you could have added though, especially at the end when illustrating hard light, that mode and all the others too can be diminished by using the opacity tool to reduce that particular effect so you can tune it in to your taste.
@OlivioSarikas4 жыл бұрын
Yes, that's true. Although there are so many little Blend Mode tricks, this video could have easily been 3 hours long and still not cover everything ;)

hard light does not work with opacity;ity you have to use the FILL adjustment.

Hello Olivio, I somewhat disagree with you regarding the "other " blend modes. To me this is where you can get most of the artistic effects! I use the color, luminosity, hard light, vivid light and most others as extensively as as the darken, lighten and contrast categories you talked about. I use the 8 blend modes that work with the FILL adjustment rather than the OPACITY adjustment all the time for color grading. You and your readers might be interested in this web site that explains all the blend modes very well theeagerlearner.com/your-big-friendly-guide-to-layer-blend-modes/
@OlivioSarikas4 жыл бұрын
Hi Hans, Thank you for the Link. Very nice, short descriptions :) if you look at my video again, i do include the Blend Modes like hard light and vivid light. The Luminosity and Color channel can be useful, but i would suggest them only to more advanced users. The Blend Modes i was refering to are things like Difference, Exclusion, Average, Contrast Negate and such. They are rather specialized and you very rarely if ever need them. I would rather suggest to beginners to use adjustment layers and figure out how those work first, so they have a better understanding.
