Jazznow Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi everybody, im new to the Affinity Gang. I used to photograph a lot and worked with LR and Photoshop in the past. In Addition i had a little side business where i used AI from time to times. But because of my day job which is occupying more and more time (im becoming one of these workaholics...) i just dont have the time to spend with my hobbys, so I just couldnt justify paying certain Abos anymore. Which means im using my summer vacation, to get used to a new set of apps and i start with photo. This is my first try, editing a picture i took some time ago. Best Jazznow P.S. does anybody know a good comprehensive online course? I love how many tutorials are out there, but id really like to have a course where everything is explained in a coherent manner. Where i start with the basics. Learn about the ui, start with simple adjustments and end with composings. For example: I really liked the Bring your own Laptop Courses for the Adobe stuff.

Alfred Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Jazznow said: does anybody know a good comprehensive online course? Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Jazznow. There are several courses on Udemy, currently available at a massive discount: one day left! I don’t have personal experience of any of them but the ‘Solid Foundations’ course by Simon Foster (aka. ‘drippy cat’) seems to have been well received. https://www.udemy.com/course/affinityphoto-solid-foundations/ Jazznow 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrb Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Not sure a full coarse is need if you PS experience Olivio has lots of easy to understand videoshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/oliviotutorials.superfan/ TIP: Affinity is just like PS; however similar tools are often hiding in different places with different names -- now can be frustrating at times but it's worth it in the end TIP: if you share a photo considering adding the original photo also TIP: if you want to improve; always ask for honest comments (CC) and always give permission to re-work your photo --- a photo is worth a 1000 word (10000 to those who cannot read well :lol: Catshill and Jazznow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia04 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I was starting with this course: https://www.udemy.com/share/101Vpi3@8yDUUydT2WSscXShdchtYbVCcqFQ8t3r-6SR_fLjbxGX6Y4tnJf2umKr8AZwgmjSKg==/ Jazznow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twolane Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I too am huge fan of the Olivio Sarikas videos. Without him I'd have been lost in the swamp, since I don't have an Adobe past. He's quite a character, too. One doesn't have to join the book of faces thing to appreciate his tutorials. https://www.youtube.com/user/Multitude07 Jazznow and Catshill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazznow Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) thanks so far everybody! i already followed olivio Sarikas at youtube, but didnt get to watch many of his videos yet. @Julia04 this is the course im doing right now i made use of the udemy sale. Thanks @Alfred for the hint on the sale! I grabbed another one from the same guy about compositing too. @ianrbthe pic above is more or less the original. just developed the raw file (lifted the shadows, saturated and sharpened). no massive edits. good to know. i was thinking that honest comments are the usual thing... why should i join a forum, if i dont want input to get better anyway, ill make sure to mention it in the future Edited August 21, 2021 by Jazznow Alfred, ianrb and Julia04 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
