KarlJones Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hello, I have watched loads of videos about Affinity Photo, and I am happy that I can manage the mechanics of using Affinity to edit photos. I know how to manipulates levels, curves, vibrance etc. My problem is that i don't know when to do those things. What I mean is that, given a particular image, i do not have he experience to diagnose the problem and know how to fix it. The image is flat and muddy - but what do i do about it? What do i tweek? Where to start? Could anyone point me to a place where I can learn these kinds of editing principles, rather than the mechanics of the software? Thanks for your help karl For example, below is an image i quite like (I am only a beginner) then following it there is the way the image looks after applying soft proofing - muddy and flat. I have no idea where to start in trying to alter the image so the printing version will look something like the original. Everything I try just makes it look horrible. I am not asking for the solution to this image, it just illustrates my problem, I am just wondering where to go and learn what i need to know - or is it just trial and error?
