For those recently acquainted with #AffinityPhoto, it has a feature called Live Filters. You can apply filters non-destructively like adjustment layers and change parameters at any time, no layer merging/smart layers required. Lighting is a great example: bit.ly/3xpP3Bv


This year there seems to be an interesting trend of claiming that the #AffinityPhoto tutorials use an AI voice over. Perhaps I should be less precise, use colloquialisms and make the videos harder to understand for non-native English speakers...


If you’re coming from other image editing software, please do have a look at our official Photo tutorials. Straight to the point, educational about differences compared to other apps, and hopefully a bit inspirational! Start with the Basics playlist: bit.ly/3RhB1ZB


Even if you're only into one discipline (e.g. photography, graphic design), grabbing the entire suite for half price wouldn't be the worst idea. The apps all work together with a shared file format and functionality, plus it's a one-off price: all V2 upgrades, like V1, are free.

Thought it might be interesting to post a variety of moon images I've photographed throughout November-December, all stacked and processed in #AffinityPhoto. The process of seeing what kind of colours and tones you can pull out during editing is great fun!
