7 Things Photoshop MUST Learn From Affinity Photo in (creative designer 25)

let us jump right in so, here we are in the match cool the photoshop and we have a very nice background and on top of that, we have a handsome man. let's say we want to make the man smaller by pressing " ctrl " or command  "t" for transform and let's make him smaller. let's apply the changes press "ctrl" or command "t" again and make him big again.

You know what will happen some of you might already have guessed it. We are losing details have a look there is much fewer details if you do that one more time and make it really really small and then when you make it big again see so here's what's happening let's say you have an element with 10 000 pixels

you're making it smaller you're shrinking it to 500 pixels now all of the details are gone all of the rest of the pixel information is gone so when you make that 500-pixel element big again it still has information worth 500 pixels and that's why we are losing all the details here nowhere.

 we are in affinity photo and we have the same thing we have a nice background and on top of that we have our subject now in this case if we make it smaller and big again see what happens let's select the man let's make him smaller all right you don't even have to apply the changes you can just continue working with the program you can just select another tool and continue working now if you select the move tool and make it big again you my friend are not losing any details let's do that one more time

let's make it small like really really small and you can continue working with whatever you want and then when you get back to the man and the move tool is selected and you make him big again have a look at it fantastic isn't it now one essential thing to note is that both are the same PSD files opened in different programs so it's example one pst have a look so here in photoshop as well it is an example one pst so I opened the same PSD file in affinity and photoshop

Now if you've been a photoshop user you might already know that we can fix this problem by converting this layer into a smart object right-click on it and then choose convert to smart object that way when you press ctrl or command t then you make it smaller then you make it big again you don't lose any details but at the cost of what you cannot modify the pixels let's say you take a brush and then suppose you wanted to paint a little bit right here you cannot do that it will give you a warning message that says this smart object must be rasterized however in affinity you can paint here all you want so i'm painting here i can make it smaller or larger no problem we are not losing any details i can still paint here whatever i want now if you notice carefully in the background affinity photo is doing the same thing that photoshop is doing but it's saving you a lot of steps let meshare this with you back in photoshop and we're going to paint something really really small here so let's just simply write in small now 

let's convert it into a smart object by right-clicking on it and choosing convert to smart object now what happens when we make it bigger of course it pixelates and we don't have enough details right now it's just softening it out because that's the way photoshop processes low-resolution images you can always change that by going to edit preferences and general inside of that you can choose image interpolation as the nearest neighbor to see exactly what is happening and then when you apply that you'll be able to see the pixels all right so now let's say you wanted to modify something here or add a design it's going to be of the same resolution as...
