Affinity Photo and Photo shop.

[Dragoninheart]

Hi,

I am wanting to learn about digital painting. Since it seems to me there’s not a lot of books or curriculums available for digital painting and affinity photo. Is I was wondering if I could buy a photo shop curriculum about digital painting or book and still be able to follow the instructions without to many problems and finding the same options and controls?

 

thank you in advance for answer my question it is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum @Dragoninheart

While there are similarities between Affinity Photo and Adobe Photoshop, there are going to be differences, maybe link to the tutorial so we can look at whether the lessons could be followed without too much trouble.

Thank you for answering my question it is appreciated. I didn’t have any tutorials in mind I was just thinking in general  terms that maybe any tutorials would be ok to be used with affinity photo.

If you're going to pay for a course, it would be better to find one specifically for Affinity Photo, or to start with the free ones available on YouTube or here in the Tutorials section of the forums.

Ok thank you for the information I appreciate the help.

@Dragoninheart I strongly agree with the advice given above. I have been learning graphic software since staring out with Photoshop 2. I've used hard copy manuals supplied by the software companies (back in the day), bought books and paid for courses. I currently find YouTube along with "help" files and forums to be the best combination for learning. Least helpful have been paid courses. But, that's just my experience. Yours may be different.
