Tutorial for Affinity Photo for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By brendanxtrom

  Iook elseswhere for beginner info.

  Firstly I want to say that I feel almost guilty for leaving a 2 star review on anythng another person worked on. Secondly, out of fairness, I should say that I am not 100% new to using photo editing apps, but for all intents and purposes, based on my skilll level and very minimal knowledge of the vocabulary used within photoshop and comparable programs, I consider myself a beginner. This tutorial is very clearly directed toward beginners and I was clear in that before purchasing it. I have not used affinity at all so I was hoping this would open some doors for me or perhaps teach some of the basic vocabulary. Each video, approx. 3-4 minutes each, walks the viewer through a very simple process such as adjusting levels or white balance. I feel that a begginner could open the affinity application and learn just as much if not more by simply noodling through each tool or menu for about the same amount of time as the videos. I got the feeling when watching the videos that they were not particularly planned as another review has stated. There was a bit of fumbling through some of the options which gave me the overall impress that the person I was not learning from a professional. overall this is one of the first times I’ve actually felt frustrated in a purchase from the app store. I took a leap because it seems everyone is charging for tutorials for the new Affinity app. Affinity has some good tutorials of their own on vimeo but they are advanced features and nothing really caters to the beginnger. If you have never opened a photo app in your life you might find this tutorial minimally helpful but overall i still feel the value is nowhere near comparable to the $9.99 price and you should look elsewhere.

  NEEDS MAJOR REPAIR

  This App will not even Open. Look elsewhere for a GOOD TUTORIAL.
