That's excellent Walt thank you.. It looks like i had to do a Windows + G to bring up an XBox Game Bar (I didn't even know I had one!! LOL) anyway, it looks like there was some photo/video buttons on there, I tested it and it seemed to work ok, so I hope to be able to do this for any future issues. Best wishes Toni

Hi Walt, thanks for your prompt response. I'm new to Affinity & not very technical. Im afraid I don't know how to do a video of the screen using AP. Attached is a screen shot (very very rough example, I know my egg refinements are blurry but it's a practise image to work along to Michael Wilsons video tutorial so i could get a handle on how layers work / blend modes etc... Anyway. I hope the attached scribble makes sense, basically I made a selection from the background layer of the grass with view to copy/paste & moving it to the top of the stack so that it blends in better with the sand. When I moved it, the selection itself shrunk. I tried to do the same with the other 2 grass areas in the image but the selection doesn't work either when i select New or Add. Like I say, possibly user error 🙂

Hi I'm using Windows 10 & version 1.10.4.1198 and the Free-hand selection tool doesn't seem to function as I'd expected. I'd followed a tutorial by Michael Wilson on YouTube but when I go to the background copy I made to make a selection from (with New mode selected) of the grass. Go to refine, reduce border width to 0 / Smooth 5 / Feather 1 - Apply. Then copy / paste move that copied selection to the top of the stack and it has blended ok. HOWEVER, when I come to repeat this on the next group of images e.g of an egg/desert grass group, the selection doesnt stay selected after following the steps about (re refine / copy etc) I tried this by changing the selection mode between New / Add but neither work for a 2nd selection or indeed a 3rd selections. Weird as the 1st selection works ok. Here's a link to the tutorial I followed. I also used some paid for downloaded brushes from IAMRENSI (Nature, grass) Is this a know bug or user error please?

For someone that has only used LightRoom... I find the concept of Layers and the sequence of ordering them daunting (maybe PS users find it more natural) Having watched a YouTube tutorial by Inaffinity, it was pointed out that there are fiddly little manouveres you have to do based on tiny vertical or longer horizontal blue bars.. i.e dragging either up, down, left or right. Or even going into a seperate help menu and changing the order to child layers for masks etc. In future versions could you consider making this process more user friendly/intuitive please. Thanks in advance.

I'm just trying to understand the menus with my new Sony A7iii and imported a test photo into Affinity Photo 1.7. I notice I've got white banding on the left hand side of the image. Have I set up something wrong in Affinity at the importing stage or in the Camera set-up with file sizes? Any ideas please? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Lee!

Is there a way to insert/create a copyright/watermark in Affinity Photo please?

Wow....if this is still the case, you've answered my question today and I may have to go back to Lightroom :-(

I'm trying to speed up my workflow, I know in other applications you can copy/paste/sync adjustment settings in RAW to another image, is this possible in Affinity please and if so how/where do I find the option. Thanks in advance.
