Full Editing Workflow For Portrait Photography | Portrait Retouching | Affinity Photo Tutorial

In this tutorial I go through my full portrait editing & portrait retouching workflow using Affinity Photo, so that you can see all the steps I make to create beautiful portrait images.

I have made several portrait image editing videos before explaining various aspects of my retouching workflow, but in this extended episode I go all the way from importing a RAW file to the Develop Persona right through to saving & exporting a beautifully finished portrait photograph.

For this portrait editing walkthrough I'm using an image that I took of the wonderful Freya on a 1970's inspired wedding shoot where I was actually the videographer for the day, however I took this natural light portrait photograph in between scenes. A huge thank you to Freya for allowing me to use this image of her & please click on the link below & head over to Instagram to give her a follow.

Below you can see the normal steps I follow to create my portrait images in Affinity Photo:

1. Develop Persona (Develop the RAW File)
2. Duplicate the background layer
3. Inpainting any distractions
4. Skin clean up
5. Frequency Separation
6. Balancing skin colour (in frequency separation)
7. Dodging & Burning (in frequency separation)
8. Tone Map (tone map persona)
9. RGB Curves adjustment (colour editing)
10. Colour balance adjustment (colour editing)
11. Gradient map (colour editing)
12. HSL adjustment (colour editing)
13. Selective colour adjustment (colour editing)
14. B&W contrast adjustment (contrast editing)
15. Curves contrast layer (contrast editing)
16. Levels adjustment (contrast editing)
17. Live clarity layer (details editing)
18. High pass filter (details editing)
19. Vignette (details editing)

On average a portrait image such as this takes me between 60-90 minutes to complete from start to finish, using the portrait retouching techniques listed above. I have developed this way of working over a number of years & I have adopted different techniques & styles during that time, which has eventually led me to this editing workflow.
