So if you want to know how to take professional-looking headshots, this book by professional portraitist Peter Hurley is just what you need. In the modern social media age, having a decent-looking head-and-shoulders portrait is something that concerns everyone, not just actors and models. Kelby really does write like you're standing next to you, and while that might sometimes be off-putting (depending on whether you 'get' his sense of humor), there's no denying that these tricks really work, whether you're a beginner or an experienced photographer. So you learn how using a different setting, tool or trick in a particular situation can truly transform the quality of your work, and make it look more like the work of a pro than an amateur. In exactly that spirit, this book offers more than 200 photographic tricks of the trade, to help you get looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos, explained in the same way you would in a normal conversation.

The online help is great for telling you what Affinity Photo does. Even just a supplement just demonstrating the new features of Photo would be great. I am using Affinity Photo 2 and have found the Book and examples very helpful (even though the book is for the original version of Affinity Photo.) It would be great if Affinity were to publish a revised version of the Workbook - perhaps in an online-only format. zip file is is referenced in the "Before You Get Started" section.

For what it is worth, here is what I wish had been explained more clearly. I just puzzled through finding the online files for Affinity Photo Wookbook.
