I could listen to this all day

What an incredible presentation. As someone who has struggled with Affinity Photo, this video was a breath of fresh air. Bless you and thank you. 🌹🌸🌻

Even for a "non-beginner" that was fun. I kept trying to see what you would do ahead of time and do it before hand. I succeeded most of the time which means I probably learned a lot from your other courses. Thanks so much.

This is absolutely AWESOME! You covered 95% of all the things I have struggled with so THANK YOU! Your videos should be required viewing for anyone with Affinity Photo! : )

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

As an old experienced user, I enjoyed this presentation as well!

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

This is really the BEST tutorial I have seen for Affinity Photo! Very clear explanations, understandable, efficient and followable! Thank you very much, it is GREAT!

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 for this. I just downloaded this from Apple today, and am a total novice when it comes to graphic design. This tutorial is super helpful, not to mention I'd rather support Affinity than Adobe as I learn graphic design.

So useful Ally - excellent refresher not to mention filling some memory lapses!! Thank you. :)

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Super clear and concise! Nice job.

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

VERY CLEAR AND USEFUL TUTORIAL!

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

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!!!!

Great refresher for me!

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

Luv you guys! Keep it all going.

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

Ally, good afternoon and thank you so much for this lesson; it is awesome!

Great tutorial !😊

Love the tips, for a beginner such as me 🙂

Thank you. Brilliant.

What an excellent video. Really informative and superbly explained

Wonderful. Very good. Thank you very much!

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

Well done another great instruction video Thanks very much for giving me a reminder I do tend to forget nowadays.

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

Thanks for a very good video on Affinity Photo.

Merci, c'est exactement ce qu'il me fallait 👌

What a great teacher!!!

This is absolutely AWESOME!

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

Thank you Ally 🙂

Excellent, thank you.

Excellent

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

Wow!

Dank je wel :-)

Félicitations 👏🏼👏🏼

👍🙏

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).

You are a thorough and excellent instructor! Great job! Do you offer one one one training? Thank you!

fantastic brush up, I have Affinity Photo v1 & v2; and some of your courses on v1, you could have added 11: fantasy photo compositing. I have learned how to do that from one of your courses, it is also useful for making brochures as well…thanks

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.

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.

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!

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

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

I love these programs but I have not found a way to make a contact sheet and view several images at the same time to show my client. Is there a way you can explain to us please, because in other programs it is very simple but not here I find the way. Thank you very much for your response and your excellent videos.

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!

But what about editing all my raws? Can it work like Lightroom, putting them in the library, so you can quickly edit one after the other.

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

Great Tutorial as usual. Could you do a Tutorial about raw files? It is a bit different in the V2 Version and I am not sure which one is best to choose

Considering the news today, that aged fast!

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

I must have downloaded a bad copy of the software because I don't see the layers panel anywhere

RAW or jpg ??

@5:48 "DELETE" on a Mac & "BACKSPACE" on a PC? Is it not te other way around? ;-)

Hai. Can I get more basic tutorial affinity photo 2 Please 🙏? I'm New Thank you

That is a very good presentation. But should we be concerned: Canva Acquires Design Platform Affinity to Bring Professional Design Tools to Every Organization

Affinity did they change it cause Its hard now to use

Thank you youtube for 1.25x playback speed!

I personally can’t live without the transform panel

Hey Ally, how is Ezra?

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

There is no specific channel that teach you everything

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.

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.

Yes, quite excellent. Remember we are beginners, keyboard shortcuts, no thanks. It’s already hard enough. Explain everything, context toolbar. I nearly stopped watching here, then you explained what a context toolbar is, and I thought, clever lady. We know nothing. Explain everything, and slowly. I couldn’t follow the video when you got to inpainting brush thing. But hey I’m a dummy, and maybe if I watch this 50 times, who knows! 😂 Anyway, well done. Your up there with Robin Whalley, 1st equals on you tube, for us dummies.

How to mock up products in affinity photo.

Does Affinity Photo have any Ai freatures in it?

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. 😡😭

What about ipad

Very complicated to use and way too many steps to do simple tasks. Not user friendly enough!!
