I accidentally got lost exploring in Affinity Photo on my Mac Book Pro. When I got back to the screen with my pictures I could get the sliders on the right of the screen turned on. I could get the "tools" functions at the top of the screen on. But I could not find a way to turn on (Toggle on?) the column. tools on the left side of the screen. I am dead in the water without the crop tool. I submitted a question over a week ago; and received some suggestions that were no help at all. I have been traveling & occupied between then & now. I have returned to the forum but my question is gone from the list. I am hoping someone can answer me. I am about ready to take the program off my computer. It is not useable without tools & I have tried everything I can think of.

actually under view there is not a "show tools" there is only a "show toolbars" which is checked & I turned that on. there is no "show tools" under view. - - -AgH

in my floundering around, I found that early. it restored items at the top of the screen but did not restore the column of tools on the left side of the screen. I had noticed previously that the tools could be dragged around. I even tried dragging things , hoping they were behind something. didn't work either. - - -AgH

I somehow caused all of my tools to go away. I ended up with just a RAW file showing on the screen of my MacBook Pro. I got most of the "panels" on the right back, as well as "tools" I rarely use across the top, but I can't find a way to get my tools that show up on the left side of the screen (i.e. crop tool). I am away from home & left the book I bought from Affinity at home. How do I get the tools back on screen???? - - -AgH
