Welcome to your Affinity Photo Desktop training course. Your course tutor Stephen gives you a quick overview and introduction to what your course will cover.
In this first module, you’ll get to know the software interface, how it’s broken down and how certain tools are grouped together.
The vertical toolbar houses most of the important quick features you’ll need for basic photo editing.
Watch as we walk you through all the tools and features you’ll regularly use as a photographer editing in Affinity Photo.
There are tonnes of extra features hidden in the menu bar of Affinity Photo.
From using filters, adding layers, special effects, lighting tools and more.
We’ll show you where to find them and the amazing potential they hold.
Panels are fantastic tools to allow you to create more detailed composites without affecting other parts of a photo.
We’ll show you how to use tabs, groups and layers to your advantage. You’ll find out what masking means, using adjustment layers and non-destructive editing.
In the last module of this course, we’ll look at Affinity Photo’s Persona options.
Personas are dedicated photo editing interfaces for shape augmentation and export settings amongst others.
As the Affinity Photo software has developed over the years some exciting extra tools have been added.
The following 4 modules have been created out of these changes as we add more content over the years.
Module 6 will show you what extra tools have been added that you might find useful as a photographer.
In the first of three ‘Edit with Me’ tutorials you can edit alongside your course instructor with step-by-step details of how to transform a RAW file into a beautiful landscape.
You’ll be able to download the same RAW files as your course instructor has to complete the tutorial yourself!
In the second of your ‘Edit With Me’ lessons we’re looking at Wildlife photography and how to improve fine details alongside creating a striking atmospheric lighting effect.
During the final module of the course, you’ll get a chance to practise retouching on skin portraits alongside improving details around eyes and colour.
