Thanks for your time and help. I do appreciate it as I learn the products and editing in general.

I have not been using Designer or Photo for very long and might have started with an impossible mission for my first project. I have cropped a sign from the background of a black and white photo of our old family business and wanted to create an image for my mom for Christmas. That has come and gone and after watching every helpful video I could I still cannot edit the image text or add color to my liking. The individual that suggested Affinity also suggested using an online vector site to use in Designer. Being new to something I have always been interested in (photo editing), have I bit off more than I can chew or have I just not come across the right instruction? Thanks for any feedback.

I do appreciate it. Thank you for your time. I will give it a try.

I am very new to Affinity and am very excited about finding this product. I have been trying to edit a cropped portion of a very old black and white bitmap image. The only image of a sign in the background of a photo taken of my grandparents grocery store. I had been searching for months for a way to edit that one portion of the photo and colorize it to make a print as a gift. I only found Affinity two weeks ago and have been searching on YouTube for tutorials on adding color. I have learned a lot about using vector and isolating each letter but I am not sure how to consolidate the layers of the image to stabilize the color of each character. I have not even gotten to the background. Can I find specific instruction online to help me understand this? Time is not on my side and I need to finish this project soon. I am using Picture and Designer. Any ideas or direction will be appreciated.
