Hi TinPianoMan, Is it the .afphoto file that shrinks when you do this or the exported .PNG? C

Hi TinPianoMan, Lanczos is one of the slower options as it uses complex algorithmic resampling which will give better results, but will increase the processing time. Bilinear adds some interpolation between pixels to produce a smoothing, anti-aliasing effect but this is generally better for enlarging. Lanczos will give you the best looking results but will also take longer to process. It's really up to you in the end, if you are happy with how the .PNG looks while using bilinear then you shouldn't be any problems using that :) C

Hi Higueron, Below is a video tutorial showing how to install the NIK collection for Affinity :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfwp2lbCKzU C

Hi Chiirioz, Welcome to the Forums :) If you use adobe Acrobat Pro you could edit the PDF's once you have made them but you may find some elements become rasterised. Unfortunately copy and pasting into PowerPoint will rasterise a lot of the elements from your document, If multiple people need to make changes to your file then you may be better off creating the file in an app everyone has access too. I hope this helps. C

Hi Tony44 As I said above I think you may be on the wrong forum, I'm guessing that this is the one you need. http://www.affinityintegrations.com C

Hi Dbaz, Welcome to the Forums :) Would it be possible for you to attach your project file to this post so that I can tell you exactly why the background isn't transparent? Any files you send to me will be deleted after I have looked at them :) C

Hi Quinn, The only time you can get this error message is if you have had the trial before and there isn't any way for us to reset the timer I'm afraid. C

Hi Dbaz, Welcome to the Forums :) Would you be able to attach your file to this post so that I can tell you exactly why the background is being exported along with the images? Any files you send to me will be deleted once they have been looked at. C

Thank you for letting me know I will pass this on around the team :) C

Hi Colin, There's no way to send RAW images directly from Apple Photos to Affinity Photo since Apple Photos doesn't include an Edit in external editor functionality like Aperture or iPhotos. You have to do it manually. To export a RAW file from Apple Photos go to menu File ▸ Export ▸ Export Unmodified Original.... Then open it in Affinity Photo, edit the image and save in your preferred format. To import it back to Apple Photos go to menu File ▸ Import... and select the file or drag it from the Finder to Apple Photos. There's an extension for Apple Photos called "External Editors" that allows to send an image directly from Apple Photos as a RAW to several apps/plug-ins but the edited version it's saved back as a JPG. I hope this helps :) C

Hi SheepFrog77, The version of Affinity you have given is higher than the currently available version and you have mentioned Internet Explorer at the moment Affinity Designer and Photo are only available on Mac. Are you sure this is the correct Forum :)? C

Hi Jollyblackburn, Welcome to the Forums :) To create a Dashed line in Affinity go to the Stroke tab towards the top right handside of the app and click the dashed line from the style bar (see attached). C

Hi Fcarels, Welcome to the Forums :) is your OS language set to French? The help in our app uses the operating system language and not the one that the app is set too, unfortunately the only way for you to get the help to show in English would be to change the OS language to English. C

Hi DanThePhotoMan, Welcome to the Forums :) Once you have created the shapes you would like to turn into presets all you need to do is right click one and go to Create Style. This will add a new entry in the Styles tab which can be found next to the Layers tab towards the righthand side of the app. Creating a new shape selecting it and then clicking the new style you have created will apply that style to the shape this includes colour, blend modes and effects :) C

Hi Esteban, Welcome to the Forums :) It isn't possible to pick a certain unit to be default I'm afraid. However if you switch to the Zoom Tool [Z] you can change the units from the context bar at the top of the app. Thanks C

Hi Uemit, Welcome to the Forums :) I have tested this on an older version of Affinity Photo and it looks as though Photo can't pick up any matching features between the two photos because of the shadow on the lefthand side of the second image. The Panorama tool looks at similar features between the two photos and stitches at these points I would usually recommend that you make sure the photos overlap to ensure that it will find similar features. If you would like to test your Panaroama tool to ensure it definitely is still working I have attached some sample images you can use :) C

Hi LilleG, The betas will no longer work as they are the same as the current version on the MAS :) There should be a new beta in a few weeks! C

Hi Higueron, Welcome to the Forums :) Affinity Photo does support .NEF files, If you would like to try one of your .NEF files in our RAW engine before purchasing the app just to be sure I would recommend downloading the 10-day trial from here. Hope this helps! C

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by moved inside the figure would it be possible for you to show me an example so that I can try and understand this better? :) Thanks C

Hi Khawla Alali, With the Brush Tool selected could you please try changing the Controller Dropdown towards the top of the app to Pressure? This should hopefully resolve your issue :) Thanks Callum

Hi JonathanCopeland, Welcome to the Forums :) I can't see anything attached to this post could you please try re attaching your example ? Thanks C

Hi Rafi, Welcome to the Forums! :) Family Sharing may work for you I have included a link to a tutorial on setting it up here. Thanks C

Hi Pietropaolo, Please could you right click your image in the Layers tab and click Rasterise then try using the Square selection tool to see if it works for the effect you want to achieve? I hope this helps C

Hi P_mac, You can drag and drop the brushes in the Brush Tab to re arrange them. If you would like to change the category that the brush is in you can do so by right clicking it and going to Move Brush to Catergory. Hope this helps :) C

Hi GreyGhost, I have tried to replicate this at my end but at the moment I haven't been able to unfortunately. If you create a brand new blank document then try and quit the app does it close properly? C
