Paresh Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi - I will do the trial. Affinity looks impressive but also intimidating. Can someone point me to any threads for beginners to get oriented? i will do tutorials of course but it would be helpful if there is something to read first. thanks!

R C-R Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Each Affinity app includes built-in help. I suggest reading the first two sections, "Introduction," & "Getting Started."

Alfred Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 If you don't yet have either of the Affinity apps installed (or even if you do!) you can view the Help online here: https://affinity.help Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've created some explanations regarding basic naming/ operations here and further reading/ really getting into affinity please reply in that thread if you find something missing/ not easy to grasp there are links to official and unofficial video tutorials where apropriate in both of them so you should quickly find your way around cheers IanSG and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paresh Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 This is good material - thanks! I may have missed it but how do I export back to Capture one for a round trip when i use Affinity as a plugin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 here is a recent thread about editing in Capture One https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/46203-editing-with-affinity-photo-from-capture-one-pro-10/#comment-231232 additionally you can check out round tripping using layered TIFFs to store the Affinity Layer information. https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Sharing/export.html For TIFF file formats: Save Affinity Layers—Layers in the document are preserved in the exported TIFF image. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paresh Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'm studying & it looks like I have to have the aero theme in win 7. I don't think I have it & instructions sound complicated. can I use Affinity without Aero? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paresh Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Thanks Alfred! I assume if it works for designer it should be the same for photo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yes, it should be, as far as I'm aware.
