Affinity Photo - Abstract Light Strings
Added 2018-10-14 16:47:50 +0000 UTCLearn how to create his amazing Light String or Light Fiber Design. I show you a super easy way to create it in Affinity Photo. There are so many options to create abstract images with this.
We are using the Twirl Brush in the Liquefy Persona to create these creative layers. Blend them with Lighten Layer Blend Mode. Creative Adjustment Filters like Curves, Split Toning and Levels with give it a even more amazing look.

This Tutorial was inspired by "Abstract Twisted Light Fibers Effect Photoshop Tutorial" from tutvid. His Tutorial is for Photoshop and doesn't work like that in Affinity Photo, so i made a AP version of it for you :) Watch the original here:

I'll give that a try. Yep, it's the "NX-01" from the show Enterprise from 2001-2004 or 5. ....Thanks for your words of encouragement. Basically to get the nebula tips white/grey I added a chroma/color reduction to the outside edge with an inverted selection on the flower/nebula layer, then feathered it really high to fade the efect of color reduction. I then masked it and brushed out edges to get the square framing to go away. Last, I added a point-source light efx to the center of the nebula. Again, thanks, and especially thanks for the tips and trick (I thanked you also on YT!) Those just help so much getting into the unused parts of Affinity! You are kind to share your pro knowledge!!

2018-10-16 21:08:45 +0000 UTCHi William, i get the 3 circles, when i set my brush much larger than the canvas.

2018-10-16 21:08:20 +0000 UTCI have a question, though. When I see your brush on the screen, I see three concentric circles. On my PC, I see only one circle.
