How to improve your photo editing skills

The Digital Darkroom: The Definitive Guide to Photo Editing by James Abbott

Editing and processing your photos is an important part of the image making process and one that you can’t ignore if you want to get the best from your photography. Choosing the best software for the job often comes down to two options: Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo. In my book The Digital Darkroom: The Definitive Guide to Photo Editing, I teach you everything you need to know about photo editing with both types of software through informative and easy-to-follow tutorials.

The Digital Darkroom: The Definitive Guide to Photo Editing is a tutorial-based book that provides photographers of all levels with a practical and effective way of learning how to edit images professionally using Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Photo. This comprehensive book will ultimately help you to take your photography to new creative heights.

The steps of each tutorial focus on Photoshop, with a small section outlining any differences to the process in Affinity Photo to ensure users of both software can follow the tutorials effectively. In many cases, the techniques are identical across both software options.
