Affinity Photo 1: Beginner to Pro via Reference and Workflow

Course Overview:

Version Compatibility: This course specifically covers Affinity Photo up to version 1.10, tailored for individuals who have not yet upgraded to Affinity Photo 2. For those using the latest version, we recommend our separate course, Affinity Photo 2: Solid Foundations.

Your Learning Path:

Question & Inspiration: You may have asked yourself, "I've learned some of the tools with Affinity Photo, but how do I actually enhance an image, start to finish?" That's exactly what this course is designed to answer.

• Beginner to Advanced: We begin with a straightforward workflow for beginners and progress to more complex techniques as we go.

Learning Tools & Workflows:

The Dilemma of Learning: It's common to struggle when learning both the tools and the workflows simultaneously. This course tackles this issue head-on with a unique approach:

• Dual Learning System: The course is divided into two sections: detailed tutorials on various workflows and approaches, alongside an extensive reference section for all the tools Affinity Photo offers.

• Tool-Specific Videos: If I use a specific tool during a workflow tutorial, there's a corresponding video in the reference section that explains that tool in detail.

Efficient Learning with Resources:

Update on Enhanced Study Experience: Based on my own experience taking Udemy courses and the time spent on notes, I've prepared an additional resource for you:

• Detailed Notes PDF: The third lecture includes a downloadable 50+ page PDF with a table of contents and index. This comprehensive guide features bullet points, screen shots, and tips—directly from the courses I teach. It's designed to save you countless hours of note-taking.

Hands-On Learning Experience:

Real-World Application: We will take a series of photos through every stage of development to create a final, polished image. You'll get all the images used in the course to follow along with and apply what you learn.

• Problem-Solving Skills: I'll demonstrate how to handle common issues that may arise during photo editing.

• Third Party Plug-Ins: Discover how to use third-party plug-ins from the Nik Collection to produce stunning effects.

Course Outcome:

From Learning to Doing: By following along with various effective workflows from start to finish, you'll gain the confidence to enhance your own photos. You'll be able to select the most suitable workflow for each photo and, before long, look at one of your images and think, "That looks fantastic! I did that."

What You'll Achieve:

• Understand Affinity Photo Tools & Workflows: Gain a solid grasp of the software's capabilities.

• Enhance Your Photos: Learn to take a photo from basic editing to a professional finish.

• Confidence in Your Editing Skills: Feel confident in tackling your own images and selecting the best workflow for each.
