Thank you for saving me from going insane! Me and my family will be your slaves for three generations.

[How do I make cmd+scroll to NOT trigger rotation?]

It looks like I can't make it by keybinding, probably because it's a key-mouse-binding:)

I need to find a way, plugin, hack or anything for cmd+scroll not to trigger rotation in Photo 10.1.5.

This feature drives me FU*KING CRAZY.

Please help!

[Rotate selection without rotating what's in it.]

Can I rotate the selection without rotating the selected pixels? I need to select a straight edge that is oblique. How do I do that?

I attach a picture for better understanding. I want to select the paper OR the whole rest.

[How to turn off text underlining?]

Thanks Alan. Actually this option was greyed out and I had to uncheck "Check spelling...", but I consider the question answered;)

[How to turn off text underlining?]

When I write text in Affinity Photo, it underlines red the words that are not in the dictionary. How do I turn it off?

[Affinity Designer on Chrome OS / Linux]

[Export Persona - different sizes - quality question.]

Thank you for sharing the knowledge, I finally understood the export persona, but the question still is: does making a non-vector image larger on export make any sense in terms of quality?

[Export Persona - different sizes - quality question.]

My question is, well... a little bit philosophical:

When I select a slice in export persona and try to add different sizes, then - quite surprisingly - i can't specify the sizes, i can just select them from the list. The list contains a number of options, which I don't understand: like 100w (a 100px width preset??), 64p and stuff, as well as some that I understand: 1x, 2x, 3x.

My question is: does it make any sense to export in 2x or 3x? Like, this is not vector graphics, so the photo needs to be automatically resized. So, if understand correctly - it would create bigger files of the same quality. In general: does it make any sense in terms of quality?

What in my opinion would make more sense is if it would actually resize to 0.75, 0.5, 0.25 and so on. That would create smaller files of lower quality (to use with <img>'s srcset for example), not affecting the actual quality of the file.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Trial: 11 days instead of 90]

thanks! I didnt notice it:)

[Trial: 11 days instead of 90]

I downloaded a trial version of Affinity Designer. The website says: "90 day trial" but after one day I have 10 days left.
Is this a bug or smt? I used Photo trial before and it was ok.

[How to crop an image on a selected layer - Affinity Photo?]

Make sure you're working on a layer that shows as (Pixel) in the Layers panel, not (Image). If it's an Image layer you'll need to Rasterize it before you can perform pixel operations on it.

Thanks!

To "crop" an image in a specific layer, create a selection around the area you need to crop, press ⇧ (shift) + ⌘ (cmd) + I (to invert the selection - you can also go to menu Select ▹ Invert Pixel Selection) and hit delete on your keyboard.

there's no delete on my keyboard

if i press backspace it deletes everything inside the selection although it is inverted (deletes indside the original selection)

what exactly do you mean by "hit delete on your keyboard"?

im on mac
