Adjustments can be applied non-destructively to your photo for creative or corrective purposes. They are independent non-destructive layers, meaning you can modify their settings at any time without affecting your layer content.
Live Filters include blur, sharpen, distortion, noise and edge filters for more creative photo editing. Like adjustment layers, all filter layers are independent non-destructive layers that have self-masking properties.
Incredibly sharp looking outcomes are often produced by taking a series of photos of different focal points within the scene, then merged together into one. After developing and preparing your raw files in the Develop Persona and saving them, you can combine the images into one by going to File>New Focus Merge.
I am looking for a good step by step tutorial book on Affinity Photo. I had a good one years ago for an older version of Adobe Elements. I'm looking for something that shows with screen shots and explains in the text how to do various tasks like combining images, layers, removing unwanted objects, etc. Years ago I shot my niece's school yearbook photos and used Adobe Elements to whiten her teeth, remove facial blemishes, and other touch ups. Amazon has a lot of options for books of this type. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.

Did you know that you can now export the images of your observations in a 16-bit TIFF format? This raw file allows you to apply your own image processing settings and edit the images at your convenience. By doing so, you will get better image quality and personalize the results without the hassle of stacking files yourself on astrophotography software. This tutorial explains how to process raw images with Affinity Photo, being suitable for beginners who wish to learn astronomical image processing techniques.
Select the photo in the stack that offers the sharpest rendering of the problem area. Then select the Clone tool. Set it to 100% opacity. Paint over the problematic area, and watch as the ghosting disappears!
This video is geared towards those who are completely new to photo processing. It is from a terrestrial photography perspective not astrophotography perspective, but to anyone who has not post-processed a photo before i think it's a great place to start. The author of that video also has a class and/or book you can buy. It looks fairly comprehensive from a terrestrial photography perspective. While I have used Lightroom a fair amount, most of my current knowledge is from a long trial and error process. I think I'm going to buy this class myself as I feel I probably should have taken a post-processing class long ago. This is the link to the website for the class -photo-for-beginner The cost is certainly reasonable.
Also I should mention that you probably will want to work in the Photo persona (workspace). I was working before in the develop persona which I think may be more limited. So, if you are in the photo persona across the top you will see a tab for layers. Then you will look for adjustment layers. The button I showed you is the shortcut to that same function, but if you look in the layers tab you can see that there are several more options rather than just adjustment layers. I'm still learning Affinity Photo from scratch, I used to work in Lightroom but never learned Photoshop so I have no comparison for you. Affinity seems pretty powerful to me.
This tutorial class -for-beginner for Affinity Photo took me about 2 days of semi-serious effort to complete and I'm glad I did. The class itself is only $25. The best part about it is that now that I understand how to edit terrestrial photos, when I watch the more specific astrophoto editing tutorials, I know how to find those tools and how they work. So all I have to learn is the astro application which really helps alot.
This is an excellent book for learning the ins and outs of Affinity Photo in great detail. The book is packed with step-by-step tutorials that you can follow along. You'll learn about the different tools and what they can do. Learning by doing is just easier and more enjoyable compared to scrolling through the Affinity help and technical manual.
The Photo Persona is laid out in the same way as almost every regular photo editor. Down the left-hand side of the screen is a vertical strip of tools, while on the right is a set of panels for layers, adjustments, filters and more. These panels can be dragged off and floated separately on the screen, or recombined in any arrangement of tabs and panels that suits you.
However, Affinity Photo also offers adjustment presets, which appear in the adjustment panel as small thumbnails showing your image with that preset applied. If you make manual adjustments, it takes only a moment to save these as presets too. This is a really neat system that lets you save and re-use your favourite adjustments.
I've been taking pictures since the 1980s and I've been writing about cameras, lenses, accessories and photo editing since the dawn of digital imaging. I've done stints as a technique editor, reviews editor and online channel editor. I'm currently an independent photography journalist and content creator. I cover everything from smartphone photography through hybrid mirrorless cameras to medium format.

Once you have chosen the right spot, setup your tripod. The Nodal Ninja has a levelling indicator built in which makes it easy to keep everything level. Choose your primary direction, put the camera in AV-mode and take an exposure reading. Memorize the aperture and exposure time, switch to manual mode and set the same settings. Focus the camera and then turn everything fancy off: auto focus off, auto white balance off, ISO fixed (the first few times I had this in auto mode without noticing). You want all images to be taken exactly the same. Then setup exposure bracketing to be able to create an HDR later on.

Both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer has enough intuition for normally users (earlier experiences from photo apps)...
Beginners should not start with Affinity... Better start with MS Paint-like apps... ;-)
