[Bitmap (repeat)]

If you size the bitmap smaller than its container then you can see the effects more easily

Hope this helps

[Manually creating a layer stack]

Yep

1. Select all layers

2. Arrange/ Live Stack Group

[How do I copy colors from gradients points?]

Good spot, I hadn't noticed that. It works perfectly

[How do I copy colors from gradients points?]

Try creating a rectangle, apply the gradient then drag the colour picker over your required colour

[[SOLVED][Photo] LUTs from Davinci Resolve are not Supported?]

Open the LUT file in a text editor and delete the line

LUT_3D_INPUT_RANGE 0.0 1.0

It works here, good luck

[Where are the basic keyboard shortcuts?]

<ctrl>B is a standard shortcut. You'll need to delete that before reassigning it to your preference

The shortcuts are stored in C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\Workspaces\Photo\Shortcuts.xml and I would advise making a backup of that because if you ever do a reset as Alfred described above all shortcuts will revert to standard

[Harris Shutter Effect]

kirkt beat me to it

Here's a quick macro that does just that

It needs three images which must be rasterised Pixel layers. It copies the Red channel from the lowest layer, the Green from the middle, the Blue from the top.

Then it creates a new Pixel layer called Final, pastes the channels into that then deletes the spare channels

You'll get different effects by reordering the layers before running the macro

Hours of fun!

[Selections: Shortcuts: Hide/Add to?]

Using Windows the Marquee can extend a selection by using both mouse buttons

Help is here  file:///C:/Program%20Files/Affinity/Photo/PhotoHelp/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/pages/Selections/selections_marquee.html

and it says, "Drag with left and right button down (Marquee and Freehand Selection tools) to automatically add areas to the current selection." What it doesn't say is release the left button first

The shortcuts are stored in C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\Workspaces\Photo\Shortcuts.xml

and this

<Item type="Command" command="Serif.Interop.Persona.Commands.TogglePixelSelectionCommand, Serif.Interop.Persona, Version=1.8.3.641, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" key="H" modifierKeys="Control" />

is the entry for my preffered shortcut <ctrl>H which Hides/Shows the selection like I am used to. I did that as Ron P. explains above, I wouldn't edit the .xml directly

[Presets]

Is Show Left Studio also checked?

[Desigener: Size of object including stroke]

Quick and dirty

Rasterise, note dimensions in Transform studio, Undo

[Adjustment Layer - Presets (how to transfer to different computers)]

OK, I started again

Create the effects, rename them in the Layers panel, add to Assets, delete the Layers and re-apply by dragging from Assets. It works

Next rename the Assets in the Assets studio, apply them and it remembers the old name

It's good that it is by design and not a bug.

I would be inclined to change the design, I cannot see a reason for allowing a change of name in the Asset studio because it is too late and does nothing

Hope the graphic explains it, I am off for some beer

[Adjustment Layer - Presets (how to transfer to different computers)]

I think we could all use larger screens, this one is a pain at the right edge of the Context Toolbar where I have to click a » symbol to see some options yet there is plenty of space

I have just realised that the  Layer names are not the same as the assett names.....hey ho

[Adjustment Layer - Presets (how to transfer to different computers)]

Thomaso, interesting. I have just deleted those two assets, reloaded them and they work properly, well as a proof of concept, otherwise they are fairly useless.

I loaded a new image, applied both assets by dragging, clicking on the layer panel opened the option boxes which functioned as usual.

It's a shame you're on a mac as I suppose my .afassets file is of no use

[Adjustment Layer - Presets (how to transfer to different computers)]

It's possible to load an Adjustment Layer into the Assets panel, export that then import elsewhere. I've had a brief attempt at stacking & grouping them but failed so far

[Realigning the auto-grid]

See if this helps:
Enable Show axis editing handles in the Grid Manager
Drag the black circle to your required position
Double clicking the black circle will position it at the Guides origin (0,0)

[Copy/export what I see]

That's an innovative image. The RG & B channels are black, the shape is defined in the alpha channel

[My frustrating experience with AP and the Pen Tool]

Well I couldn't do it and this thread 

confirms it. All you have is the stroke option in the Context Toolbar. Solid and Dashes work, I failed with the Texture Line Style, it's the same as solid. Hey ho.

[Newbie - how do I dodge and burn in affinity photo]

It works properly here, Windows 10, Photo v1.8.3
Note that the layer must show Pixel and not Image
I'd check your Assistant Manager settings (View/ Assistant Manager) because here the Assistant automatically rasterises the layer. If you're not using the Assistant you'll need to Rasterise the layer yourself

[Can the AFFINITY PHOTO toolbar be moved to the right side?]

It can't be docked to the right, it will have to be floating to move it to the right but under View/ Customise Tools you can force it to be 1 column wide

[Drag and drop from a image to another]

On Windows you can do this if documents are floating, personally I prefer copy and paste

[APhoto - Using Help in a browser]

Thank you. Hints and advice are always appreciated

By the way, I've added <link rel="shortcut icon" href="../shared/ui/PhotoPersona.png" type="image/png"> to the index file so I now see a nice logo in the browser tabs

regards, dc

[APhoto - Using Help in a browser]

 

Not so much a question but a suggestion

Overall the help is excellent but it's limited running within the program
As it's written in html it can be displayed by a browser and where some graphics are a bit small they can be opened in a new tab
On Windows 10 the English version is here
C:/Program Files/Affinity/Photo/PhotoHelp/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/index.html

One caveat for version 1.8.3.641
Choosing Stitching panoramas causes a script error. The online version is fine so I copied the online tabbedimages.js now it’s ok.
That file needs to go into C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\PhotoHelp\Contents\Resources\resources\js

I won't attach the file in case it's not the latest but if a Mod reads this they may

[Cropping - help page js error]

Choosing Stitching panoramas causes the same script error
The Online version is fine so I copied the online tabbedimages.js now it’s ok

[Borderless A4 Printing Issue]

With APhoto I would use a landscape A7 and print 2 across and 4 down on portrait A4 using Model: N-Up

You can see from the Transform panel that the document size is 105mm x 74mm, the print dialog handles the rest

Good luck

[Sorry completely stuck]

Multiple page PDFs can be created in APhoto

For example 4 pages of A4
Create a new A4 but change Document height to 4 x 297 = 1188 mm
Set Guides at 25%, 50%, 75% to delimit page extents
Add content
Print to PDF using the following in the Print Dialog:

Printer: Microsoft Print to PDF
Range: Document
Layout – Model: Tiled

 

Multiple page PDF pages can be edited, deleted, rearranged

Each page opens as a Layer in APhoto annotated Artboard
Add shapes, text, images whatever
Printing order is defined by Layer order, page 1 is at the bottom
Print to PDF using:
Range: Artboards
Layout – Model: doesn't matter

OR use Export to PDF but the file sizes are larger
