[Resize a photo to passport size]

Hi Graham,

 

If you open an image in Affinity Photo then go to Document > Resize Document a window will pop up allowing you to change the size of the photo. Here you want to enter the dimensions of a passport photo. In the Resample dropdown you may want to use the Bicubic setting as it should preserve the quality.

Drag to marquee should select the nodes.

This will work but both objects will need to be selected first :)

[Join Lines problem]

Hi Tarc,

 

Please could you make sure that you are holding down Shift when you select both nodes and then hit Join Curves. This should get the nodes to connect.

[AP: how can I set the file size in MB at export?]

Glad to hear its all sorted :) If you have any more issues please let me know!

[AP: how can I set the file size in MB at export?]

Hi Manu Schwendener,

 

The best way to do this would be to make the images smaller when you export them. How you go about this would depend on the file type, which file type is it that you need to use? :)

[Select/Masking Issue]

Hi Foreman.m21,

 

Welcome to the Forums :)

 

This issue is caused by the image being automatically feathered around the areas you have used the Brush tool to paint onto the Mask. This is a bug and has been logged with our developers to be fixed! Thank for making us aware of this issue :)

[Low rez jpegs. look jaggy as export]

Hi Bsnyder,

 

Please could you try changing the Resampling method from the Export window to Lanczos 3 (non-separable) to see if that improves your .JPEG  output. If they still look jaggy could you please attach the project file to your post and I will look into this further for you :)

[Soft Proofing access?]

Hi Sam3,

 

Soft proofing is under the Adjustment menu to the right hand side of the app. The below video is for Affinity Designer but it should also help you with Photo :)

Hi Peminator,

 

Welcome to the Forums :)

 

Unfortunately the Mac licence of Affinity can't be used for the Windows version. You would have to purchase another one for the Windows version.

[“I’m used to using the “edit in…” command in Lightroom to hand my images over to Photoshop for retouching]

Hi David4,

 

Affinity Photo supports exporting to .PSD you can do this by going to File > Export and then selecting .PSD from the menu. You should be able to bring the .PSD file into Photoshop :)

 

Thanks

[rotation of image in RAW mode]

Hi David4

 

There was some issues with the rotate commands in the Develop Persona, so they've been temporarily removed. Our developers will bring them back at a later date when they're working correctly.

 

In the meantime, you will have to Develop the image and then use Document > Rotate.... in the Photo Persona to rotate the image.

There are a number of fixes for this issue Pressing tab will hide/unhide the tools around the workspace. If that doesn't bring them back please could you try going to View > Studio > Reset Workspace.

 

Thanks

[make pattern]

Hi Maestrorobertus,

 

Welcome to the Forums!

 

Unfortunately at the moment there is no pattern tool within Designer or Photo however a member did post a tutorial on how to make seamless patterns earlier this year. You can find it here, it should help you with your pattern.

 

Hope this helps :)

[Print Margins]

Hi Zoom,

 

The best way to do this in Affinity would be to unlock the Background layer and then go to Document > Resize Canvas and then make the canvas the size of your image including the border. You would then need to use the Move Tool [V] to scale down your image to fit the border.

 

Hope this helps

[How to edit a PSD file?]

Hi KizzyGoodman,

 

Welcome to the Forums :)

 

We don't have any tutorials specifically for editing a PSD template I'm afraid. However as long as the file is in PSD format you should be able to open it by going to File > Open once you are in the app.

[Filling individual lines]

Hi Todd,

 

It is possible but it would involve rasterising all of the lines so they would no longer be individually editable. To do this select all of the lines that Make up your Tic-Tac-Toe grid and group them. Then right click your group and click rasterise, if you now go to the Pixel Persona towards the top left of the app you will be able to use Flood Fill Tool [G] to fill your center square.
