gdc873 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Hi guys, I am very new to digital design so I am wondering if anyone seniors out there with professional experience is willing to coach me and guide me through the design process on a budget? I am currently looking to learn how to do photo manipulation and is hoping to find someone to guide me to through a few projects from start to finishing to help me get started. I do not know whats the budget is like for a coach, hopefully i can afford it. Thanks Gilbert Quote
emmrecs01 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 @gdc873 Have you looked at the Workbooks which Serif have produced for Designer and Photo? They take you through a series of projects which teach you rather more than the basics of each program. And the cost is likely to be rather less than what you might pay for one-to-one coaching!

emmrecs01 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 @gdc873 Why not make a post explaining about one or more of the specific problems you encounter when using the Workbook? I'm pretty sure quite a number of fellow-users would be happy to help you resolve them. gdc873 1 Quote Win 11 Pro, intel i7 14700, NVidia GTX 4060, 32G RAM, intel UHD 770.

gdc873 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 @emmrecs01 Thanks.. I might try that.. Just afraid it might take up too much time? Still exploring my options.. no harm trying posting a few specific problems i guess. Quote

Many of us have many reasons to be thankful for the help offered by other users and Serif staff. gdc873 and GarryP 1 1 Quote Win 11 Pro, intel i7 14700, NVidia GTX 4060, 32G RAM, intel UHD 770.

John Rostron Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 If you are willing to pay, then I would recommend the excellent video tutorials by @drippy cat on Udemy.

emmrecs01 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 @gdc873 Just click on the link (blue) in John's post to go direct to the Udemy site, and then search for "Affinity".
