Learn Affinity Photo - 25 Essential Shortcuts
Hi, affinity Photo is taking up a large amount of space in my pc when i save my projects and the space don't come back even after restarting my pc, how can i get the space back?
thank you! this was very helpful
Great tutorial, thank you.
very helpful and interesting video .. Ian ..
My camera has a highlight protection metering mode that I use for performances with uneven lighting. It functions like a normal center weighted meter, except it will also make absolutely sure nothing in the frame is blown out.
Oooh, that would be really useful. What camera is it?
Thank you Ian. 🙏🏼😎
It's not real 360, only 180 degrees. Is there any way to produce real 360 photo?
Wondering how we do this from all sides now. Bottom, top, sides, angles from a click, hold mouse and rotate. (A full rotate from all angles) if you catch my drift. Thanks for the videos
TY
Nice tutorial. But I'm wondering what 50% grey layer actually meant for and how it calculate the color information of this layer? Is 50% grey layer used only dodge and burning image? Besides dodging and burning what more use of 50% grey layer?
No disrespect, but how is your workflow helpful? It works be helpful if you showed us how you mapped the devices
After years of processing and being frustrated by un-natural looking landscape photos, I discovered this weekend that I'm so much happier with my output when I avoid the sliders and use only curves. Then I watched this excellent video and it all makes sense. What the video also added for me is that I can likely use the exposure, whites, and blacks with impunity, then go to curves for additional tone adjustments. Thanks so much for this!
Excellent explanation
Too bad the weather was sour, it sure can put a damper on the mood. That stream-side rubbish brought a sting of shame to my face. I've seen a few other tourist vids featuring these in-town trails, and no mention was made of trash. Perhaps the cleaning crew needs to step up the pace. Just two weeks would make a huge difference in the tree colours. Yes, not a tourist town in the typical sense. Some cruise ships operations hook up with a day trip to Gros Morne National Park. I was born and mostly raised in Corner Brook, but haven't been back for a visit since '91. Corner Brook stream is loaded with Brook trout, of which many I caught on a fly. Dour or not, I appreciate these glimpses of my own spawning ground. 😊
I already have the Behringer X-Touch Mini with Midi2LR I was thinking about adding my Stream Deck XL to the workflow and maybe even getting a Stream Deck+
Great video!! thank you!!
23 minutes? Bro i gotta get back to work lol
It is a shame that this video got so few likes! I found out many useful info for myself, as a beginner theatre photographer, thank you very much for sharing this!👏
Very informative video! Thank you. I've never bothered with Tone Curve and didn't understand how it differed, but now it is something I will keep in mind for future edits when I want to make more subtle changes.
Excellent video. Question: how do you get to show the actual size of the ratio in LR? In your example you show 2x3, 5x7 & 4x5. Thanks!
Thanks' for great example of the structure for keep files in a project manageable
Great video Ian, thank you for all the good tips and your insight.
Hi, this deserves more views, seriously well explained
This is a fantastic talk, really great advice! Thank you
Ian, I got lost when a mask of the moon was skipped in your presentation. Can you tell me at what point the mask should have been created? Thanks. Great tutorial.
Ian - when you get a chance, fixing your audio would be helpful for long term viewership on your channel. Each time you spike it startles me, and takes the focus away from the information you are trying to communicate. Thanks for making the video.
But why my develop are greyed out?
If you don't have a valid licence for LR you can still open a catalogue to view the images (in library module) but you can't develop them - thus develop is greyed out.
Just to those who don't now, if you don't have model or property release, you can sell the image as Royalty Free editorial. This is not mentioned in this video (guess because this video was made 8 years ago?), still good information here, thanks.
Thank you so much sir❤😊
Excellent video (that I will be saving for reference). I am a keen amateur photographer and I have been invited to shoot the dress rehearsal of a production involving my son's partner (who I haven't met yet). I really don't want to make a mess of it and this video is exactly what I need. It was also fascinating. Thank you. Now, where's that subscribe button.
Great advice about copy space! My pro photographer friend always mentions leaving room for copy text, in photos toy want to sell!
Great advice!
Great video. What is the code you use for the stream deck buttons?
I simply love silhouette sunset photos!
I really enjoyed your critiques!
Great advice! I started shooting RAW and jpeg from the beginning, even though I didn't know what I was doing.
Very informative! Subscribed!
Very good advice!
Very good, thanks for sharing!
this conversion does not save time and date of creation in exif file - it changes it to the time when i am converting the files!!! is there way to keep original time/date?
Thank you so much!! This has saved me a lot of time manually going through my lightroom catalog.
Very informative, thank you so much for sharing 🙂
What a great video! Finally I’m beginning to understand this! Inspirerad by this i did some testing on a similar test picture. I came to these conclusions and was wondering if anyone can confirm or correct me on this: (Note, I use the point curve rather than the parametric curve) - the exposure slider behaves the same as pulling up on the middle of the curve. - increasing the contrast slider is the same as adding an “s-curve” - increasing the whites slider is the same as moving the top-right point of the curve left along the top (and correspondingly for the blacks slider and the bottom left point of the curve) As the video explain I interpret it as the shadow and highlight slider is a completely different animal compared to the exposure, contrast, whites, blacks sliders and has no corresponding action in the curves. Their main purpose is rather to bring out details in shadow/highlight areas rather than “simply” brighten them.
Thank you for the help!
Thank you, Ian, for this video. Your balanced presentation made things easy to understand, and I took a lot of good points from it. I'm approaching this from a slightly different perspective, I'm photographing the theater's recently completed capital campaign as an Architectural Photographer, but I'm trying to get some shots of the theater being performed in. I may drop some into shots I will take at a later session, so I intend to drop some breadcrumbs (I have permission to make dots on the painted floor with a Sharpie) so I can take shots of the empty theater from the same locations. Another thing you didn't mention, to reduce impact, I plan on wearing all black and using the silent (electric) shutter mode on my Nikon D850. Although I rarely do this, I'll be shooting Large JPG AND RAW so I can have that extra flexibility after the production phase. Cheers, from your newest subscriber, <>Steve
Great explanation of imposter syndrome in photography, Ian. I think it bleeds into different aspects of your life. I'm a similar age and still do a few days a week as a driving instructor and I do project a certain image while teaching. I enjoy taking photographs and editing them. I actually feel that I can take quite a good photograph now but I've stopped letting anyone see them apart from my wife. I'm trying to wean myself from social media as I feel that it can become comparison hell! I'm now thinking of just concentrating on building a website and see what happens. I've sold a few prints on Etsy in the past, although I haven't tried much lately. It's not about the money, it's the buzz that someone likes your work enough to buy it.
How many photos should I be taking throughout the dress rehearsal? And how many should I give the theatre after the shoot??
Just about to start out as a photographer at a local theatre production and found your tips very informative. Lots of information is common sense, but even more has been very informative.
This is fantastic content, I am surprised more people haven't found this!
Very thank you
