Description

Adjustment Layers are the bread & butter of Affinity Photo. They allow you to edit the color & lighting of your images.But with so many adjustments to choose from, it can be overwhelming to learn how they all work. So in this course, we will take a deep dive into all of Affinity Photo’s Adjustment Layers (all 23 of them!)By the time you finish this course, you will know exactly how every adjustment works. But even more important than that, you will learn the pros & cons of each adjustment. That way, you will know exactly when & why you should use one adjustment over another. For example, when should you use the Curves adjustment vs. the Levels adjustment? Or when should you use Color Balance vs. Selective Color? Vibrance vs. Saturation? Recolor vs. HSL? Or even Threshold vs. Posterize? These are the types of questions we will answer in the course, as we carefully review each of Affinity Photo's Adjustment Layers. This course is easy enough for beginners to follow along, but in-depth enough that even the most experienced users will learn something new. So if you want to level up your Affinity skills, then please join me in the course! :)
