Affinity Books and/or YouTube


Recommended Posts

Hi, 
I am a casual user of Publisher V2 amd have found the Publisher Workbook to be a great help, my book covers V1 of Publisher but still seems relevant. I am going to try and use Affinity Photo but have zero knowledge of photo editing, can someone please recommend a great beginner resource for Photo? Perhaps the Photo Workbook from Serif is still up to date enough for V2 of the software or maybe there is a worthwhile YouTube account to follow for photo editing?  

Thanks for any suggestions, I'd also be grateful to hear of any great resources for Affinity Publisher, particularly with regard to magazine publishing.

Hallo Lyndhurst, if you are new to photo editing then naturally the Affinity work book will help, unfortunately it would be wiser to begin with some basic understanding, then working through a tutorial book would become more fruitful as you encounter concepts and termnology.  I recommend this site as an excellent start:  https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/photo-editing-tutorials.htm    I am sure you will want to find your own, but there is both straight to the point and clarity in these simple discussions of the most basic photo editing concepts.  I wish you success and the least amount of head banging at times.

Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'? Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener.  Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door.
