CORRECTION: Cropping Adjustments are NONDESTRUCTIVE. You simply need to toggle the "Reveal" checkbox on the context toolbar at the top of the screen (righthand 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 endtoend #tutorial is for you!

Watch and learn as I take a RAW night street photo directly from the camera, and walk you stepbystep 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!
