I am new to Affinity and been trying to find information in what order I should edit a photo.

1 Rotate and crop

2 Sort out the Light and Dark

3 Colour balance

4 Sharpen

5 Correction

Do you think this order is correct when not just editing one photo but all your photo's

Hi @John Hall,

That would really depend on how to you all this. 

In develop a persona, it does not matter. 

In pixel persona, you have the normal layer stack which works from top to bottom, so the top layer affects everything underneath,

Other than that, I believe it's personal preference.

It's a popular one but I don't know if there is a "correct" one.  I've heard people say you should start by cropping because it affects the histogram, but I prefer to leave it until I've got a better idea of what sort of rubbish I'm dealing with!  On the rare occassions that I've got a genuine keeper I adopt a zone approach.
