\n Forget trying to learn every tool. Master the essential 5% that produces 95% of your photo editing results.<\/p>\n

Affinity 3 is one of the most powerful photo editing applications available. But for many new users, it can also feel overwhelming. With so many tools, panels, filters, features and adjustments available, it\u2019s difficult to know where to begin or which techniques really matter.
Essential Affinity 3 takes a different approach.
Rather than trying to teach everything, it strips away the complexity and focuses on the essential 5% of tools and techniques that produce 95% of the results.
Instead of trying to memorise dozens of tools and features in isolation, you\u2019ll learn the essential ones by using them to complete a real editing project from start to finish.
Beginning with a RAW file, which you can download from the author\u2019s website, you\u2019ll follow every step of the editing process alongside the book. You\u2019ll make every adjustment yourself, see why it\u2019s being made, and understand how every change contributes to the finished image.
By the end of the project, you\u2019ll have transformed the original RAW photograph into two high-quality finished images: one in colour and one in black and white. More importantly, you\u2019ll understand why each adjustment is made, giving you the confidence to edit your own photographs instead of simply following step-by-step recipes.
Along the way, you\u2019ll learn how to:<\/p>\n

Develop and prepare RAW photographs for editing\u2014and, just as importantly, know when to stopWork confidently with Affinity 3\u2019s workspace and customise it to suit the way you workBuild a completely non-destructive editing workflow you can apply to every photograph you editImprove tone, colour and contrast to create more compelling imagesRemove distractions, repair imperfections and even reposition objectsMake precise local adjustments using selections and masksCreate dynamic and expressive black and white photographsSharpen, finish and export your completed images
Because every technique is introduced exactly when it\u2019s needed during a real edit, you\u2019ll build practical skills that are easy to understand, remember and apply. Instead of trying to memorise individual tools, you\u2019ll learn the way we all learn best: by doing.
Perhaps the greatest benefit is that you\u2019ll be building your editing skills on solid foundations. The techniques in this book do more than teach you how to edit a single photograph; they provide an approach you can apply to every image you edit afterwards. By using proven, non-destructive techniques from the very beginning, you\u2019ll develop good editing habits that will continue to serve you as your skills grow, without having to unlearn poor habits later.
