Key benefits

  • Learn to use masking, selection, brushes, blend mode, and color tools in the photo editing workflow
  • Unveil advanced personas used in the editing pipeline like tone mapping, liquification, and more
  • Create your own brushes and build your artistic pallet in Affinity Photo

Description

In this book, you’ll explore the Affinity Photo program through practice-based learning as you make popular photo edits, learning the tools and techniques in conjunction with the workflow concept. Instead of comprehensive description of the tools, you’ll learn through practical application and understand why they work, not just how they work. This is neither a technical manual nor a workbook but a project-based hybrid approach that provides a deeper understanding of how to use each tool to achieve your goal. Starting with the fundamentals of navigating the interface, understanding layers, and making your first edit, this Affinity Photo book gradually increases the complexity of projects. You’ll go from single-layer edits, composites, and RAW development to putting together a complex composition using the tools that you've learned along the way. Additionally, you’ll learn the best practices used by expert photo editors for a flawless finish. By the end of this book, you’ll have a good body of work, be able to evaluate the edits you want to make, and achieve desired results with Affinity Photo.

Who is this book for?

If you are a beginner to any form of photo editing or are a Photoshop user switching from Adobe, this book is for you. This book is also for small business owners who want to do brand-specific editing on stock photos but have limited experience in photo editing. Beginner-level editors, photographers, and people looking to get into product photography and advertising will be able to make the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Develop a repeatable methodology for use in your photo editing style
  • Understand the most frequently utilized techniques by professional editors
  • Compete a body of work for use and reference in future projects
  • Develop your own libraries of assets, macros and tone mapping presets for your style
  • Recreate popular editing styles utilized in print and film
  • Recondition older family photos
  • Understand and deconstruct other editing styles to expand your knowledge

I had the opportunity to be a tech reviewer on this new how to software Book: “Photo Editing Made Easy with Affinity Photo” By: Jeremy Hazel.Jeremy did an excellent job covering all the essential knowledge, tools, and workflows needed to become a master at Image Editing in Affinity Photo and other similar programs. He provides plenty of working examples that will push you from a novice to professional if you consistently work at it.There were some interesting tips and techniques I learned about layers and effects while I was reviewing and giving my feedback for all 18 chapters on a weekly basis.-Mike

i really enjoyed this book and it's lessons! the ability to have the pdf and the example files were just what i wanted! on the construction comment side: i got a little lost on the lesson on 'sandwiching' flowers in a glass and so many crazy 'blend modes' i still don't understand well. all in all, this is a GREAT way to get better at affinity photo!!!

Wow, this is an incredible resource for anyone who is using Affinity photo as a beginner or even if you've been using it for a while. Just take a look at the table of contents or the index to see how extensive this book is. Jeremy has done a great job breaking down complicated topics for new photographers - going beyond simply how to use the editing application. You'll come away confident knowing how to properly use Affinity Photo to edit your photos. Great work! Highly recommended!

This book covers almost everything you may need when using Affinity Photo's expansive set of tools!It is well written and has several visual guides to guide you to using Affinity Photo in a way thought to only be seen by seasoned pros. Hazel did an amazing job in covering even the smallest of details in this massive photo editor.This book will teach anyone how to use the tools Affinity Photo gives to the users' disposal to the highest capability. Using a few of the techniques outlined in the book, I edited this picture I took of an American Bison. For the final product of this image, I ended up using color grading adjustments, linear gradients for highlighting the subject and color correcting the sky, brush color corrections to make the details of the bison more visible, and healing/clone tools to remove background distractions. I've attached the original and edit to this post, I'm happy I took the time to edit a photo I took several months ago.Note: I was given a copy of this book to leave a review. However, I was not instructed to leave a specifically positive comment, I actually quite enjoyed this book!

Although I believe that beginners will get the most out of this book, I do believe that seasoned artist and editors will find many gems. It is well written from beginning to end with insight and useful tips along the way. The book flows and is easy to navigate and understand. Beginners get reference projects and use the tools they need to advance their capabilities. There are plenty of examples especially in touch up and design. As stated, I think this is more for the beginner and that should be kept in mind. Advanced users will be able to skip steps, although it may be wise to just follow and see if there is a more efficient way of doing the same old task. I think this is a book you are going to want on your shelf for reference and sometimes when someone else is looking for your expertise and you don't have time you can hand the book over and say I know you can find it in here.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
