Preface

This book is a bottom-up practice-based exploration of the Affinity Photo program, in which you will learn about the tools while making popular edits to your photos. This book teaches the techniques and fundamentals in coordination with the workflow concept. There is no long, drawn-out explanation of the tools, but we will learn about the tools and techniques through their application and also explore why it works, not just how it works.

So, this is not a technical manual, nor is it a workbook; it is a hybrid of project-based education that leads to the application of the tools and a deeper understanding of how to wield the elements to achieve a result

By the end of this book, you will have a good body of work and be able to evaluate edits you would like to make and feel confident in putting the pieces together to achieve whatever you want to do.
