Thanks Ally - these tutorials always have something interesting to learn. Your use of Brightness vs Highlights was fascinating.

Thanks for a great informative video. I have watched many Affinity videos - the more I watch the more confused I get - this was simple and logical without jumping around and losing your viewer. Great job!

Realy good. Especially your explanations at the beginning the working of the sliders exposure and brightness.

[geraldhawkins]

Very good. Straight forward and to the point. Thanks for another excellent tutorial.

Thank you. It's great to see your workflow and thought processes for an image. More of this please!

I didn't know you can just invert a layer, I've always added a mask and then inverted that. Great tip.

I'm so happy to have discovered you, Ally. Your tutorials and courses are excellent. Highly recommended.

Good - as always. A nice presentation of the basic adjustments that can be applied in the Develop Persona plus a couple of twiddles as a follow-up in the main workspace - i.e. the Photo Persona. All of Ally and her hubby's stuff goes into the making of an excellent starter kit for getting to grips on the overwhelming complexity of Affinity. A sort of Dragon Alley show-casing all of Affinity's magic wands to us novices along with a charming helping hand to get us safely 'cross the cobbles. 😊

Wow, this was a great tutorial! Thanks a ton, you really explained each step in an approachable way and helped me understand the RAW Development Persona better.

[PeteEdmunds]

Excellent thanks for this. The colour balance layer effect was really interesting to see, will have to try that

[tonyhicks]

I've been shooting in RAW for the past few months but didn't really understand how to edit them. I do now! Thanks for a great tutorial.

Thanks Ally, another good video. I have bought a number of courses from Affinity Revolution, and have found them to be excellent

[UltraPatate]

Switched from adobe suite to your app, Thanks

[dimon]

As usual another simple yet useful lesson, thanks Ally!

[akgreenberg]

Great tutorial! You make it so simple. This really opened Affinity even better. Keep these coming!

[josesmith]

Thanks for making this video. Everything is explained really well and it really helped make the daunting task of getting into photo editing a lot less intimidating for me.

[UncompressedWAVmusic]

Wow 10 minutes of improved beauty and transformation.

[colletteworley]

Another great tutorial, looking forward to the next one where you show us the use of the other tools in the Devlop persona,

[CreativeIsolation]

Woh, thanks. Beginning to end, but nothing too crazy for a beginner.

Best tutorial on editing raw photos in Affinity! I would suggest, instead of reducing the highlights on Develop mode, applying the Shadows & Highlight filter on Photo mode. Then inverting the filter mask, and brushing white on the model cloth. That way the bright on her face is not affected.
