Course Description
Adjustment Layers are the bread & butter of Affinity Photo. They allow you to edit the color & lighting of your images.
But with so many adjustments to choose from, it can be overwhelming to learn how they all work. So in this course, we will take a deep dive into all of Affinity Photo’s Adjustment Layers (all 23 of them!)
By the time you finish this course, you will know exactly how every adjustment works. But even more important than that, you will learn the pros & cons of each adjustment. That way, you will know exactly when & why you should use one adjustment over another.
For example, when should you use the Curves adjustment vs. the Levels adjustment? Or when should you use Color Balance vs. Selective Color? Vibrance vs. Saturation? Recolor vs. HSL? Or even Threshold vs. Posterize? These are the types of questions we will answer in the course, as we carefully review each of Affinity Photo's Adjustment Layers.
This course is easy enough for beginners to follow along, but in-depth enough that even the most experienced users will learn something new. So if you want to level up your Affinity skills, then please join me in the course! :)

Hi there! I'm Ally Anderson, the girl behind Affinity Revolution. I've been teaching people how to use the Affinity programs since 2016. Over these years, I've made hundreds of video tutorials for Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher. I love the whole Affinity suite, and am excited to share what I've learned with you! :)

The whole program was informative with a touch of humour to lighten the load of receiving so much. I am thankful that I can go back over any information I need to refresh. Thank you for a great insight to the adjustment layers of Affinity Photo. I look forward to more programs made by Ally.

I've really enjoyed the Affinity Revolution courses so far. Ally is such a pleasant voice to be guided by on this journey of learning this very involved piece of software. I'm sure it will take a few times through to get it all, but it won't be for want of good teaching. Ally walks you through the material with thorough and thoughtful precision, combining technical and artistic fundamentals to perfection. Looking forward to her next course.

Well presented, at the right speed, in clear and understandable language. Supporting example files are fantastic - logically packaged by theme, offering a great way to follow the examples practically (which is my preferred way of learning). Great job! Thoroughly enjoying this course so far....

Very simple, not enough depth

E' quello che cercavo in un corso. Spiegato benissimo e con esempi efficaci.

In diesem Kurs konnte ich sehr viel mit nehmen. Es ist sehr verständlich erklärt, nicht nur praktisch, sondern das Verständnis hinter den Funktionen wurde einem dadurch richtig bewusst und ich kann dies jetzt praktisch viel besser anwenden als vorher. Fundiertes Wissen mit einer freundlichen und netten Austrahlung, sehr kompetent wieder gegeben

I have been an Affinity Photo user for a long time....and never really got to grips with the Adjustment layers - this course has very good tutorials explaining what each control does.

This was great. I appreciate Ali’s insight into the mechanics of each of the adjustments and where (if at all) they are useful.

It's great to have a simple way of knowing which adjustment works best for different purposes. Ali explains it well
