Affinity Software

May 3, 2021

There is this relatively new software, Affinity that’s pretty good candidate as an Adobe substitute if you are looking for a non-subscription model. Their current applications are Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher. I’m currently most interested in Photo.

You can download them for a 90 trial.

The Affinity Photo has some nice features that Adobe Photoshop still hasn’t addressed over the years. Raw editing, true HDR workflow, and 32-bit workflow.

What’s nice is you can import/export PSD/PSB file formats and it supports ABR brushes, so you can have the best of both applications.

You can see the UI is very similar to Photoshop so working in it it’s hard at all.

The cost of the software is pretty affordable, just $50. You can purchase these apps at a 50% discount now. They are available for Mac, PC, and iPad. It is not a subscription model. It is a single one-off price. You have full capability whether on PC, Mac or Ipad.

Download for free and see what you think. For me the HDR and 32-bit capability alone is worth looking into.

Photoshop: Export Layers to Files

December 8, 2019

In Photoshop, what if you want to save files from your Photoshop .psd? You can use the Script – “Export Layers to Files”. It’s really easy to use and I had no idea it existed until I looked up how to batch export from my photoshop files.

“The Last Stand” artwork

October 6, 2019

This is the latest piece I was working on this week, “The Last Stand”.

I was going for a War of the Worlds feel.

I used Kitbash3d’s free Warzone kit and Vehicles: Tanks kit.

Here is the pure render with Redshift. I used Redshift’s fog to start building depth.

Here’s a timelapse of me working on the piece.

Project Icarus

June 30, 2019

This was a fun little concept solely to start messing with Marvelous Designer. Granted it’s a very simple use of Marvelous. I was thinking of Raiders of the Lost Ark Pangrazio shot, a little of Hal from 2001, and Timeless show.

I used Maya, Marvelous Designer, Arnold Renderer, and Photoshop. Here’s a quick breakdown of my process.

Photoshop Greyscale

June 3, 2019

Simple little trick in Photoshop to view your values as greyscale using proof setup instead a hue/saturation technique I’ve been using for years.
