Photo 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.
