anon1 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 @madame @rmar THANK YOU both very much appreciated! I'm also already taking notes about "how to not use AP - improve workflow" and hope I can share it soon :) cheers :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilleG Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks, MBd. Have you done one like this for Designer as well? That's the one that I'm a beginner in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks, MBd. Have you done one like this for Designer as well? That's the one that I'm a beginner in. well I'm honestly not that much of a Designer..... SoftProof, ColorProfiles, Performance, ColorSpaces, Export....well...most of the things are actually the same in AD. The tools in Designer are generally a bit easier I'd say, (crop and clip is not easy but is the same in AD and AP) there are certain design workflows like nesting and using shapes that I may know to some extend but there are for sure much better tutorials about them out there form guys like frankentoon or Paolo. sorry anyway I think I'll put [AP + AD] in the title because I realize that most things mentioned in here are shared among both cheers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 /// I definitely plan to maintain this list and may add some more at a given time possible topics that come to my mind are: dodge&burn, sharpening, very basic talk about tones for beginners, ways to misuse AP ...let me know what you need, think :) I've just posted a follow up on this regarding Dodge&Burn https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/37832-the-one-guide-to-all-dodge-burn-optns/ this is likely the second most important thing in photo manipulation, just after mastering curves :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 at first I wanted to write something about Dynamic Range myself but I just came across this article which is a really well done piece so I encourage you to take a look at it :) http://thephotofundamentalist.com/general-discussion/why-dynamic-range-is-important/ cheers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteriesInc Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 For those asking about Designer, Frankentoon has some cracking tutorials on their site, see http://www.frankentoon.com/toonlab I especially like the (vampire) one that shows just how dramatic an image improves with a bit of raster grunge - beautiful, yet so simple. There's also good stuff from there about creating cartoons and some starting kits to get you up to speed if that's your scene. Quote Regards, Binc Warning: dark, twisted sense of humour.

anon1 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/44836-very-basic-things/ added a new PDF about the very very basics of image editing cheers jer and gdenby 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdenby Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Downloaded the PDF, its very useful. I never did any photo/image processing except in a very casual manner.

jer Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 @MBd: Ahh, so "things" more in the sense of definitions, rather than basic how-to's. I think you have chosen a good starter set. For DPI/PPI, might you add a "why/where does DPI/PPI matter? It is a difficult concept for beginners who have all their life measured stuff with a ruler. Why do they need to know the DPI/PPI definition/thing? Why can't they just keep using cm/inches they have used since grade 1? We all know a display is measured in pixels but so what? It was a difficult concept for me until I became a web designer. Then, there was no getting around it anymore. Always appreciate the generous tips you provide and this is another great example!

gdenby Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 No objections. The document clarified some things I partially understood, like alpha. Small typo correction. In the table about "save as psd or what" The column labeled "supports ector" I s'pose should be "supports vector" Quote iMac 27" Retina, c. 2015: OS X 10.11.5: 3.3 GHz I c-5: 32 Gb, AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 Mb iPad 12.9" Retina, iOS 10, 512 Gb, Apple pencil Huion WH1409 tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jer Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Good Time vs Color Definition chart! Funny! You could even add another downward column showing how my aging eyes took colors from bright in Grade School to some gray average Now! Making me happy it is somebody else's problem.
