I cant see any way to reply to the individuals replies I have had above. Thank you everyone for putting things forward. Am totally bewildered at this point, so all ideas are useful. The video is 4 mins long and I spent the whole afternoon going round in circles. REPLY TO SMADELL 1. It doesn't let me select only mask on the right. It highlights group and mask together. Then they both disappear and I get a list of Pixels. 2. Is it paintbrush I need or paintbrush recolour? 3. I have selected white but nothing happens no matter how long I move the circle round. 4. Thank you for the tip on the crosshairs. I have now got a circle. REPLY TO KILLZEN No I am using Mac OS 10.15.4 REPLY TO FIRST DEFENCE Thank you for this. I don't really understand much of what you wrote to be honest. All I was trying to do was do exactly what it says in the video with the hope that it would gradually all make sense and give me a context for learning something. I will see if I can work out how to do a video of what my problems are, as you suggested, and try and post that. The video must be for an older version of the app, is the only explanation I can think of but if they release a new version they should take down old videos that don't work. Then again it could be me. But I have checked that everything on the screen around where the presenter is working looks like his screen. And it does. Until I try to use the paintbrush and then it all goes awry. Thanks everyone. Hopefully one more day on this will be enough to change eye colour!

Thank you very much.

Additionally - at the top right mine moves to grayscale and loses the RGB colour sliders. There is no sign of curves adjustment any longer below that in the list of layers. If I open another curves adjustment box it makes no difference to the white bits on the iris. It simply affects the entire image. Is there anyone at Affinity that can do a screenshare? Or remake their video if the video relates to some previous generation of the software. The video is only about 4 minutes long. After 3 hours of this there is clearly something very wrong and I now give up.

Sorry but the video on YouTube just does not seem to work. I am following Affinity Revolution on YouTube and the video is called How to make beautiful eyes in affinity pro. I am at the point of selecting the paintbrush and have zoomed into the eyes. I am supposed to be seeing the paintbrush turn the iris white but it doesn't change them in any way. If I select paintbrush and then the suboption of paintbrush that is for 'colour replacement' the cursor becomes a little crosshairs but in the video it is a little circle. I notice that on the right side the listings that included group then disappear completely. I now see a new listing altogether: Pixel, pixel, pixel and Background, instead of "Group, Mask Curves Adjustment and Background" that I had before I used the paintbrush colour replacement tool. I have tried every button I can think of but have no idea how to make the paintbrush actually work with the circle. I have spent 3 hours on this and the video instructions do not work. I am using 1.8.3 on MacBook.

I don't know how to place this under affinity in MacBook questions. Cant see any options

I am a new user today. I downloaded the macros that were suggested in the welcome screen. but I didn't need to follow the instructions about going to library etc. It seems to have done it all iteself.. I ended up with a new user interface and I have no way to get rid of the column on the left that lists all the macros. This was not here before. Do these stay here all the time? I do not yet know what they are but I cant see a way to un-grey everything and to import an image to start playing about with. The entire screen seems devoted now to these macros. Please help.
