If you are moving from a more accessible program, any source/book that goes through layers, selections, masking, channels etc will be helpful to understand how Affinity or any other image editing software works.

The in-house video tutorials cover these aspects quite well. We can't have a video to help with the transition from other programs out there - there's dozens of them - but for those coming from more advanced programs the transition is not that difficult - apart from knowing the interface and where everything is. The difficulty usually comes from knowing how they were implemented in each one and their scope - some offer more control/possibilities than others. The overall concepts and techniques used in photo editing (or illustration) are valid for any program you use.

I think it would be good for Serif to have videos explaining how to go from pixelmator to AFphoto no? what do you think? because when I look on google how to do honeycomb effect with AF photo, i don't have anything. I can use Pixelmator and Im really happy doing so but I wanted to know it in af photo also, it's cool but less exciting for instance in the studio menu, the adjustments effect does not look as nice and cool as the effects browser in pixelmator.ДЄnyway, I've seen some tutorials already and I know how to get around AF photo (the basics, basic effects, color modification, color replacement, distortion pixel tool ect.) but then when you are looking for a 'more complex effect' like honeycomb, I have no idea how. AF photo, maybe looks more professional, but the program looks less intuitive (maybe it's more powerful but the interface is less appealing at first glance in my opinion) I've looked at some tutorials already, not all of them though. Pixelmator is extremely intuitive, visual and easy to use and that is why I love it.

I've had affinity designer for a long time and bought affinity photo just for flexibility: so that I can go from both affinity programs just like that in the file menu: Edit in designer/photo almost every move you make on pixelmator is destructive.
