Book Description

This book follows a practice based exploration of the Affinity Photo Program where you will learn the tools while making popular edits to your photo. The techniques and fundamentals are taught in conjunction with the WORKFLOW concept. Instead of a comprehensive description of the tools unlike other resources; in this book, you will learn the tools and approaches by doing them, and we also look at WHY they work, not simply how they work. This is neither a technical manual nor a workbook but a hybrid of project-based learning that leads to the application of tools and a deeper understanding of how to use each piece to achieve your goal.

You'll learn enough of the fundamentals, such as how to navigate the interface, understand the concept of layers, and make your first edit, before we gradually increase the complexity of various projects, from single layer edits, composites, and RAW development, until you've put together a complex composition using the tools you've learned along the way. Furthermore, you will learn the best practices used by expert photo editors allowing you to finish the job flawlessly.

By the end of this book, you will have a good body of work and will be able to evaluate edits you would like to make and feel confident in putting the pieces together to achieve whatever you want to accomplish with Affinity Photo.
