Ally Anderson – Pixel Perfect Selections
Making selections is the most difficult skill to master in Affinity Photo, but it’s also the most important. Before you can edit anything, you need to be able to select it.
This course is designed to help you become a selection master. You’ll learn the most powerful selection techniques that Affinity Photo has to offer. You’ll also learn how to fix common selection problems, keeping your selections crisp and clean.
By the time you’re done with this course, you’ll be able to select anything, no matter what the photo’s background looks like.
I can’t wait to see you in the course! ?
