Hi RickyO,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

We don't provide the images used in the tutorials but you can easily replicate this with any similar image. The threshold adjustment is quite straightforward and easy to understand. Just try it with a portrait image and adjust the slider until you are happy with the effect (contrast between light/dark).

Why so coy, Miguel? Many of Brooke Cagle's photos are freely available from Unsplash. That particular example is here. :)

That's fine; appreciate the consideration and thought.

BTW, I've been trying to use the online tutorials (vimeo) for AD.  Personally, I think they're a disaster.  Don't seem to be aimed at inexperienced/learning users; and, it appears no one has come up with a logical order for viewing:  real mish/mash of subjects with no order or organization as to difficulty or a learning plan.  Disappointing.

I don't mind spending the money, but it if gets me what I've seen so far, I'm missing the value.  AD seems like a great program.  Too bad new users have to scratch their heads in wonderment for hours and days to get a grasp on the usage.

I did order the workbook.  Hoping it's a shade better than the tutorials.

Thanks Mate.

I didn't know the origin of that image and certainly wouldn't had any issue sharing the source if i was aware of it... why should i?

Thanks for providing the link.

Hi RickyO,

Have you taken a look at this thread: 

Although they are not sequential, they are quite well organised by subject and the first sections should provide a good grasp of the application. The beginners section (only) also include the source images for you to follow along. If you have trouble with any tutorial don't hesitate in asking here in the forums. There's plenty of users and staff willing to help.

In case you haven't managed to find the corresponding AD thread, it's here:
