Creative Effects and Specialty Brushes in Affinity Photo

Of all the chapters in this book, this one is my favorite. Due to the nature of the work that I do, specialty brushes, special effects, and superhero fantasy is the area of photo I have chosen to specialize in with my editing. This chapter is the result of not only my effort in developing some of these tools and techniques but also a way for you to create things that are fanciful and fearsome, and really take your edits to places that subtle retouching never could. This chapter also demands every skill gained from previous chapters because, to create effects like these, we need to understand selection, masking, blend modes gradients, and pretty much everything we have previously covered.

In this chapter, there will be more CiA videos than in previous chapters, as the technical directions could consume more pages than this book has. So while I will break them down, consult the videos to assist in your learning for this chapter...
