Affinity Photo 101: The Fundamental Five Steps

Affinity Photo by Serif is rapidly becoming the photo editing software of choice for photographers and designers all over the world. This book aims to start you on the road to mastery! This is not a rehash of parts of the manual. This is a five checkpoint process you should consider doing with every photo you enhance. I'll tell you the best tools for the job but more than that, I'll tell you when to use them and why you would use them.

Did we talk about the photos you'll be using? No we didn't! You will get links to download all the photos that are worked on in this book so that you can load them into Affinity Photo and follow along. You will even get some exercises to practice what you've learned, so you can really nail down your new knowledge.

A book for beginners should start with the basics. But it should also provide the kind of solid grounding in techniques that will stay with you as you advance in your knowledge. The techniques in this book come from someone with over 30 years experience as a designer and teacher, with a degree in Educational Design. Someone who knows the value of effective learning instead of just throwing information at you.

When you first learn a new piece of software like an image editing program it's confusing. Sure, you can learn what some of the various tools are supposed to do. But you'll still be left with the basic questions of 'So… what do I do now? Where do I start? What do I do after that?' It's with those questions in mind that this book, and the free video course that you are entitled to, were designed. Facts are not enough. Manuals tell you what a tool does. So often they never seem to tell you the whens and the whys. This book does.
