Then with simple layer and masking skills, we can combine our shots with a portrait, or an image of our choice. It works best if the image is dark, ashere with the Pen tool, which allows us to trace a simple outline around the Affinity Photo logo. Once done, we can copy the shapes on to the Shape.jpg start image (see link bottom left), add our glow effects and experiment with masks so that the shapes intertwine with our subject. Finally, we can tint our subject so that the colours match the glow of the shape. Along the way we’ll encounter a host of fundamental Affinity skills, from transforming and masking to Adjustments and colour controls.
