Thanks Walt doing what you explained ie dragging them to an open document.

When I opened 1 or items they showed in contextual toolbar now when I open more than 1 item they show in the layers panel, is it possible I could have switched some thing off to cause this.

Thanks Walt I noticed at the top of the channels it does say cmyk how do I change it to RGB sorry if this is simple question but have got into photo after having it for over a year. If I get the hang of it I will think about V2

I am following an exercise and it tells me to go to channels and click on composite red but there is no composite red in channels only composite cyan magenta yellow black and alpha ? is there a way to get composite red in channels. using v1 of af photo regards ray

tried deleting AF photo and reinstalling but still the same problem. got it back by resetting studio thanks every one for your help.

Tried pressing the tab but it only removes the personas and work shop icons does not restore the layers

using AF photo

I have lost my layers must have clicked on some thing by mistake and the layers panel disappeared now cannot get it back, in studio the layers is ticked also tried add new layer but nothing, how do I get it back.

Thanks for your help NotMyFault I have now managed to complete the exercise, will carry on with the other lessons.

Thanks to you NotMyFault yes I am following a tutorial were I am trying to isolate the moon then save it and then open up another photo of a baseball player with the ball in his hand I then want to overlay the ball with the moon, the part when every thing goes wrong is when I come to the part where I use edit cut what happens instead of showing the moon surrounded by transparent background I get a white background with the dancing ants in the shape of the moon but no moon.

thank you every one for your replies it has been very enlightening.

when I click on add pixel layer in the layers column a pixel appears in the layers column but there is nothing in it ,ie if I close the original layer and just leave the pixel layer ticked nothing appears in the work area

as you can see the moon image don't fill the AF file page and I cannot resize it with out distorting the moon shape.and this is causing problems when go through the sequence for isolating the moon. 1 tick snap to edges box,2 click the selection brush tool and click inside the moon to bring up the dancing around the edges of the moon,3 click the refine box, in the box that appears in Smoot move slider to 4px 4 click on invert pixel selection, 5 click on cut this is were I should get the moon isolated surrounded by a checkered background.

this is a photo that I am using and trying to isolate the moon, the picture is how it loads into AF photo

I am doing a project which requires me to isolate part of the photo, I select the part I want to isolate using the selection brush tool and click on refine making sure the snap on edges is ticked, I then paint around the edge of my isolated piece and click on invert my selection and then cut it followed by cntrl/cmd+d to remove the dancing ants at this point I would expect the portion of the photo that I originally select would show surrounded by checkered background instead it shows a completely white background with the dancing ants showing the outline of the original selection. I also noticed that when I click on cut the layer disappears from the layers panel. Am I doing something wrong.

Is it possible to clean up dirty photo's in AF . the photo's are old and dirty and yellow.

Been trying for hrs to update designer to 1.10.1 at first I would get as far as 18mb before I got the message that the update had failed now when I try I get as far 4.2 mb before the same message.?

Could some one point to a download where the colours are named,I have seen some on Pinterest but the files can't be opened, the reason I am asking is that I am clolour blind

Thanks for the tip

I have a photo with a tree in it and I want to isolate the tree from rest of the photo and then add the tree to another photo, how do I go about doing this.
