Learning Curve

[PaulDean]

I have been working with Affinity Photo for a few weeks now.  I was introduced to it through the Apps Store.  I bought it and opened it up.  After looking around for just a few moments I closed it and started looking for a manual or other instructions.  From the Affinity web site I found the Forums section and from there, the instructional videos.

I can identify with some of the "newbie" folks that key in very confused with what is what on the fabulous AP software.  I can suggest trying what I did.  I viewed EVERY Affinity Forum video tutorial, more than once.  Then after each one, I practiced what I saw until I understood all the ins and outs.  I also located YouTube videos and did the same thing, even the ones in German.  With these, I Killed the sound and ran them at half speed so not to miss a move.  (Now, some are coming in with english subtitles.)  All of this worked very well for someone who had never worked with PhotoShop.

 

I have now purchased Affinity Designer.  Me, with out a lick of artistic talent.  I'm going through all the tutorials just as I did with AP.  Maybe something will ware off from one of the expert designers or illustrators.  Thank you all very much.
