    Many thanks for the positive replies so far.  :)
     
    I thought i'd round up a few misc questions with a few answers..
     
     
    - Exercise files. Our video tutorials are demonstrating the functionality only so we haven't set out to supply exercise files with them.
    You may be interested to know that we're looking at possible online training courses (Designer and Photo) which would be capable of  providing supporting exercise files.
     
    - Written documentation. We are in the process of developing a handbook for Designer and Photo. I think Designer will come first.
    There are no plans to provide printed material, instead an iBook or PDF will be offered from the affinity.serif.com website.
    The dynamic nature of Affinity functionality would be difficult to capture in print form - a printed guide would be out of date very quickly and I think we'd end up with unhappy customers. 
     
    - French. No plans for French narration on video tutorial. Of course, you do get French help as part of the app.
     
    Best regards

    First I will say that I am very happy to see this software and impressed with what I have seen so far...with one exception. The lack of a complete user manual. I don't understand the idea among developers that their job begins and ends with the software and users will fumble and stumble and guess their way to a working knowledge of the program. Video tutorials are great and helpful. So is knowing I have a reference, provided by the developer, that explains what every tool, panel, and menu option is and what it does, as though the person reading it has never worked with this software before. This is especially true for a new software that hasn't been around long enough for authors to fill the void with How To books. From what I can see the information available under Affinity Photo Help is bare bones at best and some of the bones are missing. I spent a lot of time learning Illustrator and enough of Photoshop to do what I need and I am disgusted with Adobe's switch to subscription based software availability. So the discovery of Affinity Design and Photo is very exciting to me. Stumbling through video's and searching YouTube and Google for additional information to understand how to use your products...that is not so exciting.

    Only issue is that some of us , who are a little older, still prefer written documentation. Will that be forthcoming?
