Description

Welcome to your masterclass for editing RAW images in Affinity Photo!Using RAW images is the best way to improve your photography. That's because RAW images (unlike typical JPEG images) are uncompressed. This means they have significantly better dynamic range than typical images. With better dynamic range, you can restore detail in the shadows and highlights of your image.But there's one problem: when you first open a RAW photo, it looks terrible! The lighting is dull, and the colors look muddy.That's where this course comes in. In this course, you will learn everything you need to make RAW photos look their best. And once you know how to edit RAW images, you can dramatically improve the lighting and color in your photography.To edit RAW photos, you will learn how to use Affinity Photo's Develop Persona. In the Develop Persona, you can edit RAW images in their uncompressed state.But we won't stop at the Develop Persona! After we restore detail in the shadows and highlights of a RAW image, we will take the image into the Photo Persona to continue improving it. In the Photo Persona, we can use masks and adjustment layers to make targeted edits.And to finish the course, you will learn how to do batch processing. Batch processing allows you to edit multiple RAW images at the same time, so it's extremely useful for when you need to edit an entire photoshoot!I know you're going to love this course! The tutorials are a lot of fun, and you will learn so much. So if you're ready to take your Affinity Photo skills to the next level, then please join me in the course! :)
