Bought Affinity as my first editing photo tool yesterday, and started watching a bunch of tutorials, so far this has been the best.

Initially, I saw it is a 3 years old video, thought it might not be relevant, but it is not only relevant to current version of affinity app. Even it's among one of the best tutorials out there on KZfaq. Thank you Jesse

Very nicely done, Jesse. I've watched several Affinity Photos videos after deciding to abandon PS Elements for AP. This video of yours is head and shoulders above the rest- you speak clearly and enthusiastically, and the instructions are easy to follow. Great job!

Nicely done! I rarely "like" and comment a tutorial video, but this one is on point for the basics! I'm a lightroom user for awhile. I've been introduced to Affinity and since then I've been searching for a tutorial and trying to decide if it's worth it to switch software. This video made it simple and doable! Thank you!

Jesse what a great introduction to Affinity! It would be helpful to "newbies" though if you could zoom into the icon for the tools that you choose so we know clearly what they look like and what they do. Your movements between them are just a little fast! But your presentation has convinced me to give the software a go. Thank you.

THANKS Jesse. I am an amateur/pleasure only photographer and have been using Adobe's Photoshop to edit photos. However, as my PS CS5 was a free copy it no longer works and, as an amateur who only edits for my pleasure, I was NOT prepared to pay/rent/subscribe further to Adobe as the costs far outweigh my usage of their software. Now, having bought Affinity One as being the nearest to my limited workings with Adobe PS and the most suited to my needs. I have only now started watching your tutorials which I found concise, clear and well presented and will get me back to editng with fun again. THANK YOU mate! Alex. Keep producing

Because of you, I understand the concepts WAY better & I can't wait to jump into Affinity and get started! Thanks for being clear & basic without being condescending.

Also to back up Jesse's tip about adjustment layers, those of you that are saying for Jesse's 5th tip 'hey Jesse I can do the same thing in the main menu toolbar without using an adjustment layer', yes that's true but you DO NOT want to do that. Why? Because if you use adjustment layers, they are non-destructive and you can easily tweak the photos to your liking. When you use the same adjustments in the main menu toolbar, those are TOTALLY destructive. Excellent tutorial Jesse for beginners. Make it seem less intimidating for people who aren't used to or have never used Photoshop before

Great tips. I'll add one. I ALWAYS save my files at around 90-95%. Watch the % and you will notice that you still get near perfect quality, but your file size, for some reason drops dramatically. It is the recommended way to save by many pro's. Also, when saving your work, it can be good to also save the changes/history- there is a simple way to do that.

I had Photoshop several years ago that my son installed on a computer I was using at the time. The computer crapped out and I lost PS. I've been using various online photo editing software to sharpen, crop and straighten photos of my paintings but yesterday I decided to purchase Affinity. I'm seeing that it's very much like PS and that's great. I downloaded it for half the price and that's so much less than PS. For my use which isn't much, Affinity will be fine. Thank you for making the tutorials!
