Cannot find Affinity Photo Workbook files...

[ufty49]

I just tried the URL at the beginning of the Core Skills chapter, & nothing happened, - seemed like a dead link...  ..

It worked just fine for me just now.

If "nothing" happened it may be that the browser you're using is configured to automatically download files to some standard folder, often your Downloads folder. I would start by looking there.

Make sure you typed the URL exactly as shown into your browser's URL field (so for instance it says affin.co & not affinity or com) & that you do not allow the browser to do a web search, so just type in the URL & press return.

If it were something like mistyping the URL, there I would expect an error message, or a list of search results, rather than "nothing happening".

You are probably right about that. I just wasn't sure if the OP meant literally nothing was happening or whatever did happen did not start a download of the file.

The ‘Core Skills’ download for the Affinity Photo workbook is here:

I just puzzled through finding the online files for Affinity Photo Wookbook. For what it is worth, here is what I wish had been explained more clearly.

• In the Affinity Photo Workbook, the resource file links are found at the start of each chapter.

In Chapter 2 the resource link is just above the table of contents on the chapter title page.

In many (all?) other chapters the link is in the "Before You Get Started" section.

• The links are "affin.co" They are not "affin.com".  Often, I type .com automatically. 

• When you click a link a web page does not open. The link downloads a zip file to your Downloads folder. 

• Expand the downloaded zip file to create a folder containing the .jpg example files.

• Workbook locations for the references to the online .zip folders:

In Chapter 2, Core Skills, the example image file folder is referenced in the first step of the walkthrough instructions. 

In the other Chapters, the relevant example image .zip file is is referenced in the "Before You Get Started" section.

I am using Affinity Photo 2 and have found the Book and examples very helpful (even though the book is for the original version of Affinity Photo.) It would be great if Affinity were to publish a revised version of the Workbook -- perhaps in an online-only format. Even just a supplement just demonstrating the new features of Photo would be great. The online help https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/# is great for telling you what Affinity Photo does. But it would be helpful for Affinity to have a resource that tells you why you might want to use some feature.
