SUMMARY:Affinity Tuition Sessions with James Ritson (4 workshops on Fridays 25th September\, 2nd\, 9th\, and 16th October)
DESCRIPTION:Fridays 25th September\, 2nd\, 9th\, and 16th October.  19:00 – 21:00 UK (Recordings are available – valid until 16th December) \nThis four-part series of workshops has been designed to help photographers build confidence and fluency in the free Affinity application.    \nJames Ritson\, part of the software development and research team at Affinity\, will lead these workshops. \n Affinity is a free-to-use\, complete post-processing environment\, he’ll explain its background\, core principles\, and how its tools are designed to support thoughtful\, non-destructive image making. \nSession 01\nIntroducing Affinity: what it is\, what we’re trying to achieve\, an overview of our latest update\, then a demonstration of some typical functionality (RAW editing\, layers and masking\, HDR merging and tone mapping\, stacking). Finally\, a look at new functionality and features\, some of which will be explored over the next three sessions. \nSession 02\nAn in-depth session focusing on typical image editing workflows from start to finish\, e.g. initial RAW development followed by layer-based retouching\, then final sharpening/cropping and exporting. We’ll explore non-destructive editing as a concept and how to achieve it within Affinity. \nSession 03\nLooking at more esoteric workflows such as working with HDR images (exploring the different ways you can tone map\, how to avoid pitfalls of 32-bit linear compositing) and wildlife photography (making the subject of image more prominent\, noise reduction\, editing distractions). \nSession 04\nTechniques for processing low light imagery (initial RAW enhancement\, non-destructive dodging and burning\, colour manipulation\, stacking) Review of the 4 Tuition Sessions and outstanding issues and questions. \nJames Ritson\,  is a programmer\, photographer and software specialist with extensive experience working with Affinity for image processing workflows. He is known for his clear\, methodical teaching style and deep understanding of non-destructive editing workflows\, helping photographers develop efficient\, flexible\, post-processing practices grounded in careful observation and creative intent.
