Original price was: $59.99.$15.99Current price is: $15.99.
What youâll learn
-
Modern photographic special effects â done efficiently
-
In depth knowledge of some of the more advanced tools in Affinity Photo
-
The dos and donâts of an efficient workflow
Have you ever looked at a special photo effect and thought âI wish I knew how to do thatâŠâ Well, Iâll show you how.
In a series of tutorials, Iâll show you how to combine the various Affinity Photo tools to recreate the most popular photo effects you can see today, and maybe come up with your own signature look. Iâll 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. But flexibility is key here, so Iâll also show you several ways to adapt your new recipes to meet the needs of different images. Iâll make recommendations about which images are suitable for which special effect, and Iâll be giving you exercises to practice what you have learned.
I assume a basic knowledge of Affinity Photo. 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 hereâs the especially nice bit. I often do these kind of courses because I love learning new things but also because I think itâs 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. Itâs the thing that slows me down, sometimes by a factor of 4 or 5.
So Iâve made the notes for you. You will find a 50 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 downâŠ
Itâs so easy when you create an effect to get the feeling that the software is doing the talking for you. Well, weâll change that. Iâll 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. Youâll be creating stunning, flexible effects. Youâll be making your photos shine!
Who this course is for:
- Students who have a basic knowledge of Affinity Photo
- Anyone who wants to recreate many of the modern photographic special effects we see every day

This is a good course from a knowledgeable instructor. It is well presented with good references. I learned a lot and will be going through the course again to consolidate and fill in the bits I missed the first time.

A very enjoyable course that provides a lot of knowledge and understanding in using special effects in Affinity Photo.
The course also references to some 1.9 updates in Affinity Photo.
JoĂ«l Daniel –
I really like Simon’s approach. The concept with layers is still complicated, but I am getting there. 4.5 outta 5 because you said fuckin’ in this last video đ
Frederick Holland –
This course was so helpful. I definitely recommend
Kevin Loomis –
Awesome but he (you?) goes a little too fast. But, I am at a different level than other folks so it’s fine. I do a lot of pausing and rewinding.
Juan Toledo Atucha –
Interesting topics. But for color grading does not explain briefly some color theory to understand how you select changes. For the dispersion the used brush set is not in my AP so I had to start improvising. Otherwise well explained and nice he highlights shortcuts.
Matthew Dunn –
Some cool special effects which I found useful. Some of these i’ll use more than others, but more importantly is that i will use some of the workflows described here, and the way in which some of the tools are used for these effects, when doing other edits.
Bram Van den Boom –
Again Simon Foster manages to create a course which is crammed with information and tools you would never have guessed existed. Very cool course!
Nigel Crooks –
This course is brilliant. I’ve learned so many new tricks and effects that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Simon is a great teacher and good at explaining the details, and the why’s and how’s.
