Now the controls will pop up on the bottom of the screen with some default settings. The only way you can tell that something has happened is by tapping on the Layers studio and now that layer will have fx written next to it.Īfter turning on the switch for an effect, tap a second time on the name of the effect. No default shadow is applied and there are no controls to change the shadow. If you tap on the switch next to an effect, for example Outer Shadow, absolutely nothing happens.

With the correct layer selected, tapping on fx in the Studios panel on the right brings up the Layer FX studio. From Guassian blurs to glows to shadows and more. The Layer Effects Studio includes 10 different effects you can apply to a layer. While I was teaching it, I realized I’d figured out a few tricks to how to effectively use the tool. Last weekend I presented at SMOG (Southern California Macintosh Owners | Users Group). I’ve done my two part series on it, I’ve created a 45 minute screencast for ScreenCasts Online (not out yet) and I’ve started doing the user group circuit to demonstrate its awesomeness. Thanks for packing in so many examples to explain the tools in use, Tracey.Affinity Photo for iPad is a glorious app. I didnt want to take the version 2 class and miss out on valuable instruction from this first class). (I never used version 1… so it stumped me here and there on the interface difference in this older class… but I marched on).

Can’t wait to soak in the many other classes waiting for me. I can’t wait to get speedier at interface maneuvre, lol.Īfter this, and the Export Persona Class, am already so delighted at the beginner progress I have made these few days.

I knew I couldn’t get past stumbling and making mistakes unless I toiled a few hours to commit the workflows to memory! I’m still biy clumsy and forgetting steps, but getting better already! It looks so doable when watching Tracey explain… but hands-on, I am a bit of a fumbling buffoon. I’m utterly exhausted… but there was so much to learn from this class… my old brain was smoking. I plan to work this piece some more later. Oh my gosh… Am not gonna lie… I took several hours to get to this point, whereas I usually spend maybe 45-60 minute sittings when swooshing around in Procreate.
