James, thank you so much for the tutorials! I learned a lot on my own but having all of this new knowledge will be even more awesome! This is so freaking cool! Woo hoo!!!!

Hi everyone. I'm Valerie-June from Nova Scotia, Canada. Up until last fall, I was using GIMP photo editor, and didn't know how to do much in it. A friend of mine told me about Affinity. I got the free trial, used it for ten minutes and was hooked. I learned how to do more in Affinity in three months than I did in nine years of using GIMP. I use Affinity Photo for book promotional posters and banners, custom bookmarks, business cards, and any other swag associated with authors. I started my own graphics company recently, specializing in author swag and promotional items, and I just ventured into creating book covers, premade and custom. I'm also an author and I do all of my own promotional graphics, minus the book covers - my publisher does them - although I did the cover for my lone Indie Publication... Which I may update, now that I have much better skills in Affinity. It's great to meet everyone. I'm hoping to learn as well as pass along any knowledge in here.

Awesome tutorial! Thank you!
