dmstraker Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Phew. I've just ploughed through the full set of in-house AP video tutorials, done by the most excellent James Ritson. To help me learn and provide a reference, I made personal notes along the way. Here they are, complete with links to each video, in case they may be of help for you. No guarantees and all that. Update 25 Mar 17: File with notes on change up to 23 March added. Update 30 Mar 17: File with notes on change up to 29 March added. 170314 Affinity Photo Video Notes.pdf 170325 Affinity Photo Video Notes.pdf 170329 Affinity Photo Video Notes V3.pdf cv11texfcm@gmail.com, Riversong, Frostydog and 21 others 23 1 Quote Dave Straker Cameras: Sony A7R2, RX100V Computers: Win10: Chillblast i9 Custom + Philips 40in 4K & Benq 23in; Surface Pro 4 i5; iPad Pro 11" Favourite word: Aha.

dmstraker Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thanks, folks. Good to hear you like my notes. I know that writing helps fix things in my brain (part of my learning style), so other notes may follow. I also write for a living these days (http://changingminds.org).

Peter W Gallagher Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thank you for sharing these notes, dmstraker. They're a great addition to the AP Manual and the videos. Your notes are also a fine tribute to the James Ritson videos that, in my view, are the best set of tutorial videos for any image-processing program that I've used. For their concision, thoughtful focus, broad topic coverage and low-key tone I rate them higher than even the polished performances of Julianne Kost on Adobe's products. I guess, since you've apparently watched and paid attention to all of them, you must like them too :). Peter dmstraker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A key part of selling a product is in training users, who then like the product more and tell their friends. Skilled users also showcase the product well. James does an excellent job of producing first-rate, clear and concise videos.

Grumpy1954 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Many, many thanks for this, talk about a labour of love. And I heartily concur with all the comments about the quality of the tutorials, informative, non-patronising and very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
