When it was still a separate company that published Affinity Photo, Serif produced some excellent video tutorials that are still up on Youtube in this channel:

Apparently, not much has changed between Photo 2 and Studio, except that the menus were rearranged a bit to accomodate the additional functions from the desktop publishing and vector graphics apps.

Two things might trip someone up coming from Photoshop:

1. The “persona” terminology. It’s just a major mode: raw development, pixel editing, vector editing, and page layout. Arguably, combining the 3 apps into 1 has made this less confusing, although it remains weird.

2. Layer masks, other than on adjustment layers, work a bit differently. It’s more general, and more complex. There’s a video on that I recommend you watch.
