How to polish and perfect an image using Affinity Photo with Elena Paraskeva

For her Lockdown 2020 session, professional photographer Elena Paraskeva guides us through her entire editing process using her ‘Spring of the Eternal Mind’ piece she created for Affinity. Follow Elena’s workflow as she uses various tools to retouch the image and fix issues previously overlooked.

She’ll also show us her favourite ways to make a RAW file come to life using multiple adjustment tools to create contrast and make the colours pop. To try Elena’s method for yourself as you watch, she’s providing access to an LUT file that will instantly give your image the "Vogue" effect. The file can be downloaded for free from affin.co/LD2020ElenaParaskeva (for personal use only).


Elena will be available on YouTube’s Live Chat for this session’s premiere on Wednesday, 13 May 2020 at 4pm BST.
