I took Simons other courses on Affinity Photo and im still learning a lot more. Love this course

Teacher was very funny and engaging and kept it interesting.

Very good course i highly recommend this tutorials as there are lots of new ways to work on one single subject and will improve the general use of Affinity photo!Well done keep on your good work!I am delighted to have taken this course! Many thanks!!

I wont be doing much portrait editing but the techniques will be useful for other things.

Love the way the course is split in to sections making easy to find and revisit pasts when trying the techniques on my own images later

Some amazing tips here! I wish I had a picture of my face during "The best pencil effect in the world ever - part 2" (it is the best for sure, you'll not find it on Youtube - same thing for the amazing watercolor). I don't put 5 stars just because the beauty retouching is not very good for me (he's not Marcin Mikus - please don't use blur so much). But overall Simon is a great teacher, everything is well explained. Both his courses about Affinity Photo are the best you'll find on internet, by far.

Im always impressed with how Foster uses these Affinity tools. And it hasnt ever hurt me to relearn these techniques. Thank you!

Very good course! One of the very- very best features of it is the organization of the levels!

After taking Simon's fast track Affinity Photo course, I wanted to upgrade my skills with the software to match my abilities with Photoshop. This course did that and more. I feel really comfortable applying advanced techniques to my AP projects. Thanks, Simon!

Instructor needs to be more direct rather than making so many apparent guesses. I know that he is not guessing but this makes the instruction take soooooo very long and I nearly went to sleep.Just get to the point directly rather than going around and around and around. I tend to get confused. It becomes more complicated than it is.

Good overall and improved my understanding of AF. The details of photo restoration, etc. not too interesting for me. Too much stuff to do.Thanks.

I liked the projects he chose. The course covers a lot of useful material. Well planned to gradually build up skills. The instructor's explanations are very clear, the lessons are super fun and he is very helpful when answering questions.
