Affinity Photo 2: Solid Foundations (Udemy.com)

Well, what can I say, I've taken several of his courses and he's been very helpful and useful in all of them so I could get a good grasp of the software. I know he likes to give a bit lengthy teachings on photo editing and functionalities of Affinity Photo though but that's just his way of teaching with decades of experience and he himself mentioned that he couldn't help it :D. Anyway, this has been a really useful revision of Affinity Photo.

I did the earlier version of this course, and it gave me a good grounding in photo editting. I've been using version 2 for a while and I wanted a refresher. Doing the latest version course was a no-brainer. It has simple explanations that even I can follow I recommend this course to anyone who wants to get to grip with photo editting.

The course provides great combination of clear layout and comprehensive presentation of useful tools. Very good for people, who just begin using this software, but are keen to get familiar with its quite advanced features. Thoughtfully matched examples and valuable on-the-spot exercises allow to better understand and quickly memorize vast amount of knowledge.

I found this to be an excellent training course. It provides extensive and detailed explanations of most of the Affinity photo features with lots of useful examples to demonstrate techniques and to practice with. There is an awful lot of information to absorb so will most likely have to revisit the course several times become proficient in all aspects of Affinity Photo. Many thanks

Considering this is a basic learners course, I found that parts of it were too advanced and not likely to be used by the average student. If it were not for my being in the printing trade all my working life, I would have not had a clue what Simon was doing in places; much of it was too subjective and would never be used by Joe Bloggs.

I took your original Affinity for iPad course and gained so much from it. With Affinity 2, I was glad to find this course. This was so much more than I had anticipated. I hoped to develop greater skills for editing photographs, and I was delighted by the thoroughness of this course. The graphic art introduction was a surprising bonus that I greatly appreciated. Looking forward to the next course.

I've done a couple of other courses on Affinity Photo. This course covers much of the same ground, but goes into much more detail. Some of the lessons took a bit too long to set up the main learning point, but overall I felt the course took me from absolute beginner to intermediate level. The final lessons on graphics and the drawing tools went much too fast for me, but that may be because I have absolutely no talent in those areas. The presenter, Simon, came across really well and I hope one day our paths will cross in real life. I would really recommend this course.

Another fantastic course. I have completed many of Simon's courses, mainly dedicated to Affinity programmes on desktop and iPad, and have learnt a lot! His style is very down to earth and he makes no assumptions of the student's prior knowledge, which I like. I would highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to learn how to produce quality edits using Affinity Photo.

As a photo editor I found too much material on the drawing/painting/vector aspects. Despite skipping over a lot of these, I had watched "too much" of the course for a refund. Mind you, there is still a good amount of "awareness" material on photo editing.

I had previously worked through the Affinity Photo 1 version of this course and so I had high expectations. I was not disappointed; this may be called "Solid Foundations" but it builds a Solid Structure. Simon is a highly skilled presenter and his enthusiasm shines through. Anyone taking the time to work through the course should achieve a good working knowledge of Affinity Photo.
