Hi all,
I am relatively new to photography, and have been using Affinity Photo casually for a couple of months. I feel pretty confident in my ability to use the program's basics (curves, adjustment layers, dodge/burn, inpaint, etc.).
My reason for posting was to see if anyone has tips around deciding what edits to apply to a photo. There are so many different functions in a program such as Affinity, and I'd hate to develop a pattern where I am applying similar edits to all my photos when I am forgetting about/missing out on some of the many other options Affinity provides. For example, going through the same curve adjustment process and ignoring an edit such as a ND filter simply because I didn't think of it in the first place!
Has anyone made this thought process a part of their workflow? Is it simply a matter of editing more and more to the point where it becomes pretty natural? Anything else?
Would love some thoughts. Thanks!
