Affinity Photo for the iPad: Special Effects

Have you ever looked at a special photo effect and thought 'I wish I knew how to do that...' Well, I'll show you how. What's more, I'll show you how to on the go!

In a series of tutorials, I'll show you how to combine the various Affinity Photo for the iPad tools to recreate the most popular photo effects you can see today, and maybe come up with your own signature look. I'll show you the right way to use the tools along with any potential problems and things to watch for when you create a series of stunning effects. I assume a basic knowledge of Affinity Photo for the iPad. But, because we will be using some of the more professional grade tools, I provide some reference videos which isolate and explain how to use them.

But here's the especially nice bit. I often do these kind of courses because I love learning new things but also because I think it's important that I go through the same process you do when you learn from one of my courses. I find the single biggest problem is taking notes. It's the thing that slows me down, sometimes by a factor of 4 or 5.

So I've made the notes for you. You will find a 70 page .pdf waiting for you to download from Lecture 2. It contains extensive notes on the methods and processes I describe along with many screenshots. So much better than a load of scribbled notes that took you ages to write down...

The reason I created this course was because I've had many people ask if there was an iPad version of the two special effects courses I offer. So I took a good selection of the tutorials from both desktop based courses and recreated them for the iPad. That way you can learn to create stunning effects without the confusion of trying to figure out one interface to another.

It's so easy when you create an effect to get the feeling that the software is doing the talking for you. Well, we'll change that. I'll go into enough detail about how to use the tools and the right workflow to use that you will gain a deeper understanding of the entire process. You'll be creating stunning, flexible effects. You'll be making your photos shine!
