    I’m experiencing a problem with stroke pressure reset. The user manual says to tap the chart to reset. It doesn’t work in my copy of V2. V2 works fine. The only thing I’ve found to do is start a few curve and push all the points to the top and the individual added points to the side. Thanks for any help. Added, later the same day. I discovered that in V2, iPad I need to tap or double tap a node in order to reset the curve. Slightly different than V1. I welcome any additional comments or suggestions. Thanks to all and have a blessed day.

    Hi Derei, Thanks for the post. I had tried a few methods and didn’t reach the results I was wanting. I’m very pleased with the results received from the technique you posted. Again thank you. Paul

    I, like you, am retired and enjoy photo editing and post processing. Simon Foster on UDEMY recommended 100%. Once you purchase a class it’s yours for future reference. Drippy cat will take you as far as you wish to go. He is also quick to answer comments/requests through the link provided by UDEMY. Have fun!

    I've watched the majority of the official Affinity Photo videos and all of Simon Foster's UDEMY videos. Some tutorials I could immediately apply. What I found helpful for my particular workflow was to start on a project until I got stuck and then go back and look for the specific Affinity videos that covered my problem area. Another approach that has worked for me is to locate a Photoshop of Lightroom process video on YouTube or even UDEMY that interested me and set out to duplicate the work with Affinity Photo by going back to Affinity Photo videos or Drippy Cat tutorials. Most of the time this has been very successful. There is a lot to learn and the process of doing so is rewarding.

    Those all look to be composites, easily accomplished in Affinity Photo. My suggestion would be to watch the AF video tutorials on Vimeo.com. Also, check out video tutorials in udimy.com Simon Foster on Affinity Photo. Best of luck and enjoy! Paul

    Thanks very much. I couldn't figure it out, now I see there is truly 'more than one way to skin a cat'. -paul-

    Thank you all, I'm anxious to try all the suggestions as soon as I get home from holiday. And yes, please the multiple postings for the same question. I'm using a WiFi at sea and it is dead slow. I didn't think the posting published the first two tries. Again, thanks. Paul

    Good Morning, I have been looking for a way to create a Gaussian blur gradient. That is to say slightly blurred on one end of an object and progressively becoming more blurred toward the other end of the object. Specifically a shadow of an object (pole) composted into a photo. I have been told that there is a way to accomplish this in PhotoShop using a channel selection and applying a gradient to the selection. Is this possible with Affinity Photo? If so how. Thank you.

    Im' in support of this last statement. If you can't add CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, keep your comments to yourself.

    The Wacom tablets functions the same with AP as it does with AD. Go to System preferences, locate Wacom tablet and set up preferences specific to short cut keys you use most on AP. Edit and enhance away! :D

    Hi, I ran into the same problem working through the tutorials. Contacted the Forum and received the following answer: Hi PaulDean, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) This is due to a bug that prevents the boolean operation Add to work properly (already logged). To "fix" your project do the following: - select the shape on the top (the large one) - change to the Node tool and drag a marquee around all nodes of the shape - click on the Smooth button in the Convert section on the context toolbar You can now perform the add operation as indicated in the tutorial, selecting both shapes and pressing and holding ⌥ (option/alt) while clicking on the add icon. The result should be correct. This 'fixed' the problem and I went on and completed most of the tutorials. Hope it helps. PaulDean, Ocala, FL
