oflatun Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hi, I have bought Affinity Photo last night after 2 days of searching on the net. I have been using Lightroom for 1 year, as hobby and semi-pro works. I really enjoy it but i feel that I should move forward and Lightroom is just a quick package edit tool limits you in some ways. I have never used Adobe PS, and I have to learn everything here with Affinity Photo. What would you offer me for the start for fast learning? Should I start to watch all of Affinity Tutorial videos with taking notes and ailing them on my photos? or would it be good to watch Adobe PS tutorials too, as it has more source to watch and read and not that different from Affinity Photo? Thank you' Oflatun PaulDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coranda Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Both are useful. There are many things in AP that are similar to PS but also some things that are done differently. If I were you I'd start out watching the AP tutorials and practicing to get familiar with the way AP works. Once you're comfortable with AP you can start to look at PS tutorials and work out how they can be translated to AP. Don't be afraid to ask questions here, there are many people willing to help where they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oflatun Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thank you very much for the answer Coranda. I have started to read Help section in AP for now as user manual to be familiar with the terms and then I will do what you recommended me. Have a great day!

Staff MEB Posted July 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hello oflatun, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You may also want to take a look at the video tutorials located here. Some of them are quite specific (i.e. cover just one feature) and may help to understand some of the concepts.

strobes Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I had never got my head around Adobe logic in any of their formats and Affinity Photo is like a breath of fresh air. The videos are a bit on the fast side for me but with a little rewind and repeat I am slowly getting there. What I did find most helpful was a book downloaded from Kindle by Robin Whalley. The basics are all much the same andhe has a number of examples from the book which you can download in .psd and work through switching layers on and off as you go. Anybody want to have a go at an "Essential Affinity" version?
