You're one of the few youtubers who know how to explain this stuff so simpletons, such as myself can understand. Thank you!

I have to say your explantions are around the best I have come across after hours of watching affinity photo vidoes. Most vidoes tell the viewer what they are doing but no explanation of why or what is happening. To your credit your explantions are very thorough. The only comment I would make is it is a real shame you do not provide a link to the master raw file to enable viewers to follow along with you on their computer. Many of your layer effects make very small changes (right thing to do in the real world) but when switching layers on and off I can see no change in you tube becuase the changes you have made are so slight. With the raw file I could try the small changes you are making and see in reality what the effect is then try different settings to compare.

How can I mask the background and apply color grading only on the background?

When does the "absolute masterpiece" come?

I want to see professional retouching portrait photography in Affinity

Excellent! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! Do you, by chance, have one for blending (edges) of images?

Incredible tutorial, honestly. It's very dense with information regarding available tools within Affinity Photo 2 as well as how to use them. Compound masking is genuinely remarkable and I hadn't even thought about its existence up until now and it's mind-blowing how you can denoise specific luminosity ranges with the click of a button. Greatly looking forward to future videos by you on the topic of photo editing. Given this was a night-time shot, maybe you next one could be of a day-time photograph! :^)

Very creative video, I hope your channel grows.

Thanks!

It is a MasterClass Indeed... Waiting for your curves video now and thanks for sparing your time to make this long tutorial for us

Even though this is geared towards novices, I still enjoyed watching this. I love your all-encompassing yet concise teaching style! Just when you compare before and after by turning layers on and off (especially with subtle changes), it would be really helpful if you vocalized it accordingly ("on" / "off") so that your audience can fully concentrate on the image itself without having to check whether the layer is currently toggled on or off.

Great tutorial!

Dear Simon, Your tutorials are excellently well made! I am an amateur, but try to do my best in editing my photos before uploading them to Flickr, the only social medium I take part in. I have bought two versions of Adobe Photoshop Elements, the latest being the 2019 edition. I also use the NIK package. I generally think the results are pretty OK, but I realize that much more could be made by an experienced person. I would never consider subscribing to the Photoshop CC, because: 1. It's way too expensive and 2. I don't understand it enough. Even Photoshop Elements have many tools that I don't understand and never use. I have now bought Affinity Photo 2. I realize I could have tried it for free for six months, but I want to encourage them with my very reasonable contribution. Now I watch a lot of Affinity tutorials, hoping one day to be able to use the software. Still, I'm confused. In PSE, this is my typical workflow: I try to adjust the white balance using the color picker. I then click Auto Exposure for a starting point. Next, I hold the Alt key and move the Blacks and Whites sliders to get rid of clipping. Most times I will add some Clarity, and some Vibrance. After the RAW processing, I first correct the camera distortion, or Skew to make sure all verticals are vertical. I may use the NIK Viveza 2 to adjust parts of the image. Finally I add a High Pass filter for some added sharpness. So, not a very advanced processing, but not a terrible result (except for all the pictures where my exposure was way off). If I could understand how to do these simple steps in Affinity Photo, I would switch permanently, but I struggle. Mostly, my problem is mainly with the concepts of layers and masks. Why are some layers placed above others, why are some layers children of others, why are masks placed where? I am close to 80 years old, but not stupid. What I hope for is an Affinity for Dummies type of tutorial. I could provide you with some sample photos, if you like. Again, many thanks for your wonderful exposés!

Epic work is what this video is :) - what I don't get is why the need to "jump out" of the Develop module (which kind of does what any RAW developer free or paid does) for stuff like white balance, clarity, curves, levels, HSL, etc etc that can be easily done in any RAW developer without all the drawbacks of creating huge project files and all the layers and all the complicated manoeuvring (versus just moving a slider in Capture One, Lightroom, Darktable etc) - to me it seems a huge time waster - it must take days to edit a handful of photos

jak je možné tam letat? máte A2 certifikaci?

Great video, thanks!

Nice capture 🤩👍

I want to highlight a correction to my video: The Crop + Geometry corrections are NOT destructive edits as I stated near the beginning of this video. You need to tick a checkbox titled "Reveal" to show your crop and geometry adjustment relative to the original geometry of the image... and it can be edited at any time. I was unaware of this when I recorded the video, and discovered this by pure (fortunate) accident.

W8ing on the Curves video <3

There's no exercise files!

An absolute treat of a tutorial! As a relative beginner in the professional photo-editing environment, I definitely have learnt things such as the curves adjustment, white balance and others in more detail, as opposed to the previously superficial idea i had about these concepts. Thank you so much for making such quality content available to us for free!

Brilliant tutorial, many thanks for demystifying the use of layers and masks and revealing the true power and potential of Affinity Photo.

It is Bee-utiful 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🌸

Thank you for an excellent tutorial video. I have just started the free trial for Affinity photo and you have convinced me of it's value as a photo editor. You have provided clear instructions together with the reasons why you should follow this workflow. Thanks 😊

Most excellent. I was a 3D lighter and texturer and I used paint on masks all the time. This was the eureka moment about how the same workflow can work for 2D.

I recently started using Affinity Photo 2. This masterclass is amazing, thank you for this tutorial!

Superb video covering many of the Affinity concepts I struggle with - thank you. The only thing that didn’t look realistic to me is the red lights on the back of the tram. The lights look as if they’re in a cowling so not sure if they would light up the back of the tram. To me it’s now lit as if there was the back of another tram to the right, out of shot, lighting up this one.

This is great, please do more editing tutorials like that, maybe one on curves in depth, and one on colours adjustment. I guess if you focus more on affinity photo tutorials your channel will become popular in a very short time

Superb! Many Thanks!

Beautiful place ❤

Cours magistral ! Thank you

This was very informative, great content

Very impressive video, in fact this is the best editing video with Affinity Photo. Thanks for creating and can’t wait to see more videos on Affinity photo. Perhaps it will be a good one to create one with an iPhone photo (night photo)as there are more people using iPhone as their day to day camera.

Very impressive! Thanks!

Excellant one of the best I have followed very clear and not rushed {which is the most common fault] Thank you cant wait for more tutorials.

woah! My girlfriends ex' brother and I just bought a pair! highly reccomend!

COOOOOOL SKAAAAATES
