From RAW to RICHES - RAW Photo Editing MASTERCLASS for AFFINITY Photo 2

CORRECTION: Cropping Adjustments are NON-DESTRUCTIVE. You simply need to toggle the "Reveal" checkbox on the context toolbar at the top of the screen (right-hand side of the bar) and you can modify your Crop at any time

Whether you're new to #Affinity Photo version 2, new to photo #editing as a whole, or even if you're a seasoned professional interested in seeing how other photographers are doing things... this complete end-to-end #tutorial is for you!

Watch and learn as I take a RAW night street photo directly from the camera, and walk you step-by-step through my editing, colour grading & mixing, and atmospheric enhancements processes.

I introduce the photo, explain the settings with which it was shot, then proceed into editing at 00:04:00.

So, go make yourself a cup of tea, coffee (or pour a glass of your preferred, if that's how you learn best) and enjoy!

Fun tip: you can get through the entire video in 95 minutes if you watch it at 2x speed!
