Affinity Photo for Beginners - Top 10 Things Beginners Want to Know

Can Affinity Photo do 3D parallax of 2D photos? It would be a great tutorial.

How to mock up products in affinity photo.

Hi there ! I'm new in this program and trying to learn from your amazing video, that's why for the moment I have only trial version. I want to know if that's the reason I can'T access some of the features. For example at adjustment layers -curves , it doesn't show me anything, I can't play with the brighten. I have affinity photo 2 on Ipad. Thank you for your response

Excellent video.

Affinity did they change it cause Its hard now to use

Does Affinity Photo have any Ai freatures in it?

Thank you, Ally, you're doing a great job!

Hey Ally, how is Ezra?

I know the Affinity Team not accept to AI to the Software like PS
But we need some of these tools because it's really save a lot of time
If they don't accept to add the generative tool

Just give me Select Subject with Auto detect to save time of selection and I can complete it to refine edges or hair or any other what Picture need

Also When we want to fix a lot of areas in-paint option depending on same picture.. but if I need it to fix with smart option it needs AI to add varieties of fixes

So Must Affinity team rethink that AI purpose to add what we can use it to save time and complete work

Also We need to support other language in Text to write in Arabic without going to another app or website to translate it and back to affinity to paste the result in Right Arabic language

These small tips are important to help creative to use it easily with happy workflow
Thanks

Great Introduction to Affinity Photo! Of course it's not nearly all you can do to enhance photos but for the start it's really good. I recommend watching other Affinity Revolution video. It's a great channel!!!👍🤘

I've been using Affinity for years, but your videos always bring out a hidden nugget I didn't know. Thanks Ally!

I can't remember how long ago I purchased Affinity, but I've looked for videos that clearly and concisely explain the basics since purchasing it. Up until the acquisition by Canva, I had no delusions that it would totally replace Adobe, but I've wanted it nonetheless as an alternative so that I can perform editing tasks on any of my computers and not be stifled by the access limitations imposed by Adobe.

While I've found some videos that show specific tasks for specific edits, I had not found one that shows all the basic functions so easily. Trying to find guidance for Affinity has been as frustrating as it was when I first started using Adobe. I probably have more than 30 videos marked on how to use Affinity, but this one enables me to delete probably 90 percent of them.

I do mostly astro landscape, and even though this video shows absolutely nothing about astro or landscape, its lessons are easily applicable to just about any type of image editing. We'll worth watching.

I subscribed immediately. I haven't had a chance yet to browse your other videos, but I'm definitely going to. And I can't wait to see what you bring us with the changes that come with the Canva acquisition.

If you haven't yet done a side by side Affinity and Photoshop tutorial, that would probably be of great value to all of us Affinity noobs. Show us a Photoshop task, then show how to do it in Affinity. I think a lot of us struggle with the translation. Many functions are the same or very similar, but many are different enough that it keeps us from using Affinity to its full potential.

Learning how to use Affinity better might allow me to dump Adobe.

Děkuji, za skvělý tutoriál a souhrn PDF velmi skvělá práce ok👍

There are heavy traffic downloads for the last update version of the Affinity trio in torrent sites.

Is an old partner of Serif owner of Canva the new owner of Affinity? It sounds like a money adjustment.

Please, How did you get the open photo filename to show in the upper toolbar? I have several of your tutorials but have not been able to find the answer. Thank You!

Yet another excellent video. It has almost all that a person new to Affinity could use. Great job Ally!!!

As always, so good....what would we do without you? 🙂

It's so incredibly sad that Serif sold out Affinity to Canva. We won't have to wait long before AI nonsense, subscription policies and datamining enter the building. Probably training AI with our original work as well. It's a betrayal, that's what it is.

Thanks for a very good video on Affinity Photo.

Well done again. A great tutorial. The Remove a Background was just the thing I was looking for. Thank you.

Wonderful. Very good. Thank you very much!

Really excellent. I have already taken your course (which is also very good), but since I use Aff. Ph. seldom, I tend to forget the details. Three of the tips you mention (Clean up pictures and add/remove backgrounds) are lifesavers. Thanks!!!!

Amazing tutorial as always! I've been using Affinity since the launch of Affinity 2, but always watch your videos, even the ones for beginners. :)

There are two things that I would LOVE seeing in Affinity:

1. a vanishing point tool;
2. a tool to draw a straight line (something like what Krita has is much more useful and accurate than holding Shift and clicking on two different points).

👍🙏

Canva just bought affinity. I wonder what your thoughts are on this? Personally i would love for them to combine personas and maybe have like a canva persona we could toggle between. Even if its a subscription base i'd pay for it because of the value you get from both.

Thank you for this very informative tutorial. I used your images and followed you along for the completed photo. Affinity is so enjoyable to use.

I've been using Affinity Photo for some time now and bought many of your excellent courses ( they've all been invaluable in helping me to widen my use of AP). But what I liked about this tutorial is that it reminded me of some of the basic operations I don't use as often as I should. It's easy to just use the same methods without looking at other options e.g. use of curves to lighten a photo. So once again, thanks for your the work you're doing , it's brilliant l

Ally, another excellent tutorial! You are a natural teacher! Thanks!!

Amazing, as always! Just watched the Canva takeover video and I hope there is no negative impact to you or the channel! If you go, I'm going too!

You guys just sold out your loyal customers for money. Canva will take us to a too pricey subscription model and AP will lose it's unique identity.
One customer, and I'm sure one of many, lost to greed. 😡😭

Oh, I am such a beginner. Thank you so much. This is great.

Thanks Ally. Please continue the good work for us beginners!

Thanks for this super presentation😊. it is a very clear explanation of questions that I also had as a beginner.
I hope there will also be a new training for the iPad.

Thank you. Brilliant.

An excellent, very well presented explanation. I found it extremely helpful and informative.

Considering the news today, that aged fast!

bonjour, j'adore vos tutos,ils sont excellents, merci.

That is a very good presentation.

But should we be concerned:

Canva Acquires Design Platform Affinity to Bring Professional Design Tools to Every Organization

Dank je wel :-)

Will Affinity go to a subscription service now its been bought out I really hope not as I will feel a little robbed as buying the programme out right has always been the reason I use Affinity Great video as always 👍

This was the perfect tutorial. Thank you Ally for taking the time to do it

Félicitations 👏🏼👏🏼

thanks for the hints.

Excellent!! Great to see the cursor moving at a sensible speed 😊

Well, any insight into or thoughts on this recent acquisition by Canva?

I watched this to see about your latest beginner tutorial but didn't need it myself. Really great that you included an introduction to the basics of using curves in this beginner tutorial. A lot of folks often bypass this and it look intimidating to beginners though it isn't. That was a really good basic introduction to a powerful tool. Fantastic and kudos for including that tool. For those interested, an even easier way to open a file, provided the user has their file browser open, is to simply drag and drop it into the document view area (the area where you see the image in Affinity), though this requires another program, the finder, to be open. Great material presented clearly with good pacing and high production quality as usual. Please keep up the great work!

Thank you Ally 🙂
