Pro Compositing Techniques On The iPad To Level Up Your Skills   An Affinity Workbook Project
Channel: Affinity Inspiration
Date: 23/06/2021

Compositing combines images from different sources into a single image, mainly for creative reasons. For professional results, the digital artist should consider each image initially and how they combine together on the page. If there is a disparity between the images, it can lead to the finished image having an unnatural look. In this exercise, we will use the iPad to create a book ready cover from a Composite.
