Getting There

[MikekPhoto]

I have begun my transition away from Photoshop in earnest and beginning to get the feel of Affinity Photo and the subtle differences between the two products.  Not there just yet, but I am getting there.  Here is a portrait from an Nikon D3 RAW file done completely in AP.  Used a number of tools, including:

 

• Burn for eyelashes and pupils
• Inpainting brush for blemish removal and red veins in the whites of the eyes and some stray hairs
• Clone set to darken color to tidy up the lips and remove some harsh highlights
• Non-destructive dodge (50% gray layer with white brush) to tone down lines around the eyes
• Non-Destructive burn to give more detail in the eyebrows
• Color desaturation layer & curves for whitening the teeth

 

Took me about about an hour to get this far; in Photoshop would have been 15 minutes tops - but getting more efficient as I move up the learning curve  :D

 

So all-in-all very please with my progress and the ability of AP to deliver quality images

Very nice work and model! :)

 

We must not forget all the years some of us have used to get the workflow we are used to in PS. ;)

I's good for preventing Alzheimer to learn new skills, ;) Hehe.
