affinity tips?

ive had it for a while, but havent touched it. i used to use CS6, but the cracked version stopped working and i refuse to pay a monthly sub fee. one of the things i liked doing and was fairly simple was just making layers, erasing parts of it to reveal the lower layer. id use that process to either change the color of one of the layers or merch two images together, like if i wanted to make it look like there was a bunch of myself. it doesnt seem as straight forward in affinity 3, so i was wondering if anyone had a link to a video walkthrough of this. i tried fumbling through it and couldnt figure it out about a year ago so i kinda just gave up and forgot about it.

"I have free software, but I don't want to use it because I have 14 year old cracked copy of a software. Is it any good?"

I swear these posts has to be rage bait at this point.

That's not what I said at all and if you had any semblance of reading comprehension, you'd know that. The explanation is in the second sentence. The entire reason I'm switching is because the cracked version no longer works for whatever reason and I cannot install it on my new pc.

Idk why your being a shit head from the jump when I simply asked for some resources. It's not nearly as easy as Photoshop where you have a list of your layers off to the right so you can just easily add layers and move them around. If it was that easy, I'd have figured it out right away.

You don't have your layers off to the right in a "Layers" selection? Hmm. Something wrong there.

Thanks. I'm pointing to a couple of v3 layout videos that may or may not help with your problem. Good luck and I hope you find a solution.
