DanC, Thanks for your comments and for the links which included video along the lines that I was seeking - the when and why of workflow. I'll check out the related Udemy courses next. Best,

I recently purchased AffinityPhoto and now making my way through the AffinityPhoto Workbook ( http://a.co/d/bmZJaJH ). While the Workbook examples are easy to follow, the Workbook doesn't explain the "when" and "why" behind the steps taken, and I haven't (yet) found a basic explanation of the impact of the various adjustments, filters and such within AffinityPhoto. Consequently, I don't have a framework to guide me through what feature(s) to use based on typical issues encountered in the RAW file. Does a basic tutorial or guide exist that explains what AffinityPhoto is "doing" through its features to the RAW format? Would a generic book on digital photography answer these kinds of questions (e.g. http://a.co/d/gRrCBe3 ), or does one learn how to image edit based primarily on trial-and error? Thanks!

For what it's worth, I too am interested in being able to open CorelDraw files in Affinity Design. I didn't see a way to export a file from CorelDraw that would be directly readable by Affinity Design but was able to export to EPS, place into Affinity Designer and then "tweak" the object settings. Not optimal but may overcome an obstacle until such time that a direct CorelDraw to Designer path is offered.
