Newbie requesting method of work flow

[kmorin]

Just learned about Affinity Photo and purchased, installed and started to run tutorials.

Is there anyone, anyplace, or any archive of an outline form listing of specific tasks showing the tool use and sequence of work- as associated with specific goals?   If you want to do "this" with a photo, "you'd need these steps, in this order."  If possible, I'd like to use my proposed project to form the syllabus of my learning sequence?

For example, I have a photograph and want to extract some curves and outlines from the photograph.  The result is to be able to have a series of lines, curves, arcs, B-splines that are the flat line drawing equivalent of the original photographs' contents.

If someone was familiar with the Aff/Photo they'd begin by #1 load the photo into "this persona". #2 then scale/size/crop the image to clip the extraneous content.  #3 then use this or that tool to do step (#3)... next.... and so forth?

As I practice working with the images of the boats and cars which have the lines and shapes I'd like to capture; I'd become more adept using the tools, but I'd like to avoid the time it will take to become familiar (Enough to make a logical choice of tool use) with so many editing tools- and concentrate on those most likely to be a linear sequence of editing toward the extraction of outlines curves, and lines of these vehicles.

thanks for any feed back.  If this post should be located in another category? please help me understand where to more usefully ask this type of new user/learner question? thnx.

Cheers,
Kevin Morin
