jmwellborn Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Welcome to the Forums @Vijay Cheema! In addition to the very important links @Dan C has provided you above, there is an excellent presentation, dated January 23, 2020, by James Ritson from the Affinity team. You can print out that very long article for future reference, and you will surely find it a really nice way to get started. It has the added advantage of letting you follow along on your own computer by downloading a practice file to work with as various actions are explained. You will find the article by logging into https://affinityspotlight.com/articles/recent and then scroll a long way down until you reach a section titled "Top learning articles for Affinity newcomers," click on that and then scroll down to "Jump into Affinity Photo." Click on that to read (and save) the article. Hope this will also help to get you up and running!😊 cutout3 1 Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.

In addition to the other two responses so far, it is likely that in the tutorials you are watching, the teacher will have his/her user interface customized to their work preferences, versus the factory preset. For example, fairly early on, you might need to customize the Left-sided Tools Panel (add more columns) just in order to see/use the bottom 3 icons there. Affinity Photo Help: Customizing the Tools panel Many other customizations can be made, and often are. jmwellborn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
