How about one of the lower end Wacom tablets? I have one of those.

It is somewhat misleading. You really should be using an iPad and a pencil to draw these. It can be done with a desktop but with less accuracy. You also will need to do the trainings to do this well also.

It was inexpensive and had great brushes and color swatches. I believe it was intended for a tablet or iPad when using a pencil. I have a Wacom tablet that I use with my desktop. I'll get it figured out. I'll be keeping it for the great tools it has.

This Add-On looks like it was designed for Procreate rather than a desktop app. I only use the desktop app. There was no mention of this. Hopefully it will work just fine with my Affinity desktop applications.

It would be handy to have some trainings on how to use the 3D Letters Toolkit Add-On. I'm just putting this comment out there. Maybe something is in the works.

When adding Noise using either the Filter or Slider option, the noise will get radically smoothed out in the final export file. The export file noise will look nothing like the noise I added in my project file. This is a minor issue but it would nice if noise would more resemble what it looks like in the original project file.

This is what I was looking for. Its works great. Thanks for the helpful comments. 🤠

Maybe I should rephrase my initial posted request: I would like to cut or copy a (selected - marching ants) piece of an existing document and use this to create a totally brand new project/file that I must now name. At present this cannot be done. I can cut or copy and paste to another existing document but I am unable to create an entirely new project/file with this piece that came from another larger project. 🙄

When I choose to add noise to a color in my work document, the noise level never looks the same when the document is exported. It does not matter what file type I choose to export too, the noise feature gets washed out. See attachment. I am using Windows 11 latest update.

I have used Paint Shop Pro and have the ability to Select a part of a photo or image then cut (or copy) and paste it to a totally brand new document (they call it image). I am unable to do this easily within Affinity Photo. I have to jump through hoops to make this happen. This is a task I do often and so it would be handy to create a new document simply by copying or cutting and pasting to a brand new document. 😀

Any method to rapidly preset your canvas with all elements of branding with a single click would be fine. I'm thinking it should be a preset baked into Affinity that is configured by the user rather than using a template format. This is a subject that would require debate as to how best to implement it.

The suggestion I presented certainly is open to rigorous debate. My thinking is simply a button that would configure the entire canvas with all necessary brand requirements, whatever they may be. Choose the Brand button then start creating. This could be as simple or as comprehensive as may be required.

It is a collection of your brand elements in one easy to access location, fonts, colors, brush types, icons, logo, etc. Any element that is a characteristic of your brand identity that is used to create that identity. This will allow you to create brand identified media quickly without having to hunt around your application to find them.

Canva and Vistacreate have a Brand Kit feature. This would be handy for those of us using the same branding choices over and over again.

Yes, using a Master Page that you do not assign anything to is a good idea for keeping scratch pad notes about your project. This is good for AP alone though. By adding a Scratch Pad option to Studio this could then be an option for all Affinity software products.
