- CORRECTION: Cropping Adjustments are NON-DESTRUCTIVE. You simply need to toggle the "Reveal" checkbox on the context toolbar at the top of the screen (right-hand side of the bar) and you can modify your Crop at any time
Whether you're new to #Affinity Photo version 2, new to photo #editing as a whole, or even if you're a seasoned professional interested in seeing how other photographers are doing things... this complete end-to-end #tutorial is for you!
Watch and learn as I take a RAW night street photo directly from the camera, and walk you step-by-step through my editing, colour grading & mixing, and atmospheric enhancements processes.
I introduce the photo, explain the settings with which it was shot, then proceed into editing at 00:04:00.
So, go make yourself a cup of tea, coffee (or pour a glass of your preferred, if that's how you learn best) and enjoy!
Fun tip: you can get through the entire video in 95 minutes if you watch it at 2x speed!

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.
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!
Great video, thanks!
W8ing on the Curves video
It's in the works currently. Suffered a broken microphone, which I've just replaced so I can continue production shortly.
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.
Brilliant tutorial, many thanks for demystifying the use of layers and masks and revealing the true power and potential of Affinity Photo.
One of the best, if not THE best editing tutorials I’ve seen on yt
Sincerely appreciate the feedback :)
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 😊
Thank you for the feedback... and welcome to Affinity Photo!
The "why" is something I consider to be the most important part of educating. People can quite easily forget the "what" and the "how", but once they understand the "why"... that knowledge tends to stick.
I'll be uploading additional tutorials for Affinity Photo soon, including my techniques for handling Batch Edits (which I tend to do for "base processing" a large number of images from the same location and time... so I hope you'll find those useful too.
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.
Thank you for the kind words 👍🏼
Working on more tutorials currently, not sure when the next will be complete (busy schedule) but I've got 4 in the works currently.
I recently started using Affinity Photo 2. This masterclass is amazing, thank you for this tutorial!
Thank you very much for the kind words :)
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
I have more tutorials like this in the works, though my client schedule is keeping me very busy currently. Hopefully after September I should have a lot more time to invest in completing them.
Yes please to more Affinity Photo edits, you are an excellent teacher!
Cours magistral ! Thank you
Vous êtes les bienvenus
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.
Absolutely agree with you. The idea with this edit was to be more "creative" (in order to showcase more technique with Affinity Photo in the one end-to-end tutorial).
If I were doing a more realistic edit (rather than "surrealistic") I would have further masked the lighting enhancement on those tail lights to ensure that backsplash only came from the wall immediately behind the tram.
The fact that you recnogized the unrealistic appearance means you would most likely have corrected a similar issue in your own editing, and that either means you already know the technique, or I've actually explained it so well that you now do :)
brilliant. learnt a lot.. even about things i thought i knew.
Thank you for the feedback... glad you found it useful 😀
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.
Thanks for the feedback… I am in the process of preparing for a street photography shoot in Vienna, where I’ll be doing a tutorial covering everything from camera selection, "phonetography" and even editing on the go with Affinity Photo for iPad 👍
@@s.j.stuart thanks a lot. looking forward to that
