I'll tell you, I don't use most of those tools. And then you've got all sorts of different tools. Customize tools, not customize the toolbar, customized tools. And if I ever use a tool that you don't have, go to View. And so you've got your Move Tool, your color picker tool, all the normal tools. So now notice when we brought this in, we now have the tools on the right-hand side.

And the first thing that we're gonna do is we're going to be doing a very simple edit of the wall and bear, alright, this is a wall I shot in downtown Detroit. So let's go ahead and light these tools up. And this left-hand area are your different tools. And I usually will have this front and center for you. The Layers panel for what we're gonna do is going to be key.

I tend to work with certain panels all the time. I can undock, which means bringing it out of the studio. And here are all the panels, so I can bring it back. So you can swap panels from area to area. Now, the other part of the interface, this right-hand side over here is called the studio. But if I use a tool that you don't have up here, you can go up and down in here and find it.

And again, as this is fundamental, you, there's no way possible we can show you how to use all these things in the hour. If you wanted to customize the toolbar, you've got all these things. You go to view and now you'll see here Show Toolbar and customize toolbar. Alright, now, this area right here, this is called your tool bar. And to get up and running, it's not something you're going to really need to learn. Then we're going to show you tone map to thing we're not going to really cover is export persona. If not, the last lesson in this course, we'll be the lesson on rock. If you're familiar with Photoshop, you know what a raw file is. We're also going to show you the develop persona Now that is used for raw files. We're going to show you the liquefy persona. Most of the work you're going to do is here in the photo persona, right? Notice how when I hover over it, it says photo. There are four or five personas that are used in Affinity Photo and we're going to cover some of them. Down here in the left area, you see how there's little affinity symbol right there. Now, up here along the top, you see how that's turning gray. Now the first thing we're gonna do, we're gonna introduce you to the interface. This is not a ten hour dissertation on Affinity Photo. Again, this course is an hour in duration and we're going to cover fundamentally the things that you're gonna need to get up and running in that hour. So we're gonna start off from the bare bones now. Basics of the interface and opening the document: Alright, getting and welcome to the fundamentals of affinity photos. Alright, let's go ahead and get started.Ģ. And I am proud to present this one, the fundamentals of Affinity Photo to help you along your Affinity Photo journey. There is a direct applicability for project-based courses here on skill share. I really think that somewhere between fumbling around on say, YouTube tutorials and massive ten I recourses.

And I've included my finished file so that you guys can follow along if you get lost, so you see how to do it. Now, there are resources, right? The resources that we've got for this class include the concrete textures that we are going to use, the base image that we're going to use. That is the defined project for this class. So after we go through the hour, you're going to take the JPEG, you're going to put it down there.

In the download area, you're supposed to submit your finished JPEG of this wall. So there's a very specific outcome for this class. And I'm going to teach you the top filters that you're going to need in one hour so that you can take your newfound knowledge and begin editing like a pro. You're going to be taking this image that I shot in downtown Detroit. But this class is built around one project. Now, there are other classes out there on skill share that cover all of Affinity Photo and everything we have to do. And what I've found and what I love about the platform is that it is project focused. Now, I've been teaching on skill share for awhile. Intro & how to get resources: All right gig and welcome to skill share.
