Fantastic news. Proving the Affinity Team never stop developing their apps and improving them !

Yeah, good point. I don't know much about any of this but it would be a really cool feature for Affinity !

No, it doesn't have to be a white background it could be any colour. This is a two-click technique.

Dear Affinity Team, Would it be possible to have a tool that automatically removes the background changing it to transparent by exporting it to a PNG file please? Many thanks. Nick

Alfred thank you, You were actually bang on with your advice. A bit of eureka moment when it worked for ! If only one person mention 'just click and let go' I would have been ok. That's not a criticism in anyway, people I guess literally do it without having to think about it (that's a good place to be!) Anyway, thank you so much. It is very much appreciated. Nick

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong I have watched a few tutorials but it's not working for me. When I grab the triangle the whole text box moves. I have tried both creating a new text box and also grabbing the triangle and moving it draw a new text box. As you can see from the screen shot I must be doing something wrong. I was trying to link the text in the box to a text box in the second column. Do I need to hold any buttons down ? Many thanks for your help, Nick

I will do that thank you.

That does help actually thank you very much.

Thanks for posting these but I have seen these but sadly none of them explain what to do when things don't work exactly to the plan or explain where things go wrong !

I've got to be honest, I am really struggling with Layer Masks.I really don't get it ! - I understand White Adds Light, Black Subtracts but Ive looked at a number of responses on here and tutorials but I'm finding: - Sometimes images rasterise and don't work. - Sometimes I can either paint black all over the image, other times white. - What layer do I need to be paining on a jpg layer or a pixel layer ? I have found nothing really explains layers in a simple way please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong ? I'm a new user but loosing total confidence in myself. Many thanks for your help and guidance which is very much appreciated. Nick.

First of all I am new to AP and I dont understand all the Terminology. I have looked at some FAQs but become even more confused. All I'm trying to do is print off an A4 poster with I image and text (7-8 Layers used). When I print direct from AP everything is fine. When I export to PDF and print the poster is 'fussy' and un sharp.🙁 It can't be that complicated, but I have no idea what i'm doing wrong or how to achieve a 'crisp' poster in PDF format. 😀 Many thanks for your help. Nick

No, I will try the Beta download. once again, thank you for your suggestion - Nick

Many thanks for your help Kirk, I will look into getting a replacement. Best wishes, Nick

Actually, my iMac might be that old it doesn't have an GPU (Metal) Option, I couldn't find it under preferences !

Hello Kirk, Sorry my mistake, it is an iMac (not sure of year). I'm on MacOS Catalina Version V10.15.7 with Affinity Photo 1.8.6. I will try your suggestion of disabling GPU (Metal. Many thanks for your help which is very much appreciated. Nick

I'm brand new, not even confident yet on layers. I'm now where near up to this !

Hi !, I wonder if you could help me please ? Having just purchased AP i'm experiencing some problems with my MAC freezing or it is incredibly slow. Can you offer any advice as to what the problem is and should AP be working OK on it (SPEC below) ? I often have iTunes, Safari and Mail open at the same time (minimised) Any advice, tips or recommendations please - I am beginning to think my MAC is too old but can't really afford to upgrade right now. Thank you very much in advance.

I'm new to Affinity Photo and I'm very pleased with the Workbook. It is excellent quality, extremely comprehensive and Im already starting to learn a lot from it. There is nothing quite like a physical solid book in your hands to learn a new subject and who doesn't like the smell of a new book ! The book is worth having for the quality cardboard keyboard shortcuts alone. Anybody having any doubts at all should just bite the bullet and purchase one, I don't think you will be disappointed.

I think thats fantastic you've nailed it !

Looks really good. I'm learning brushes too !

These look excellent !

Yes please as a new user layers are confusing as it is ! Thank you.

I think these are absolutely fantastic, I love architecture and these are amazing for sharing !

Hi, I'm Nick and based in York, North Yorkshire, UK. I used to use Aperture which was a fantastic App, I have dabbled with Photoshop and Lightroom but never really got to grips with it. Frustrated with Photoshop and Layers I started looking around and found Infinity. Dowloaded today, I'm a real novice and just dipping my toe in the water with the basics ! Looking forward to getting some tips and ideas ! Many thanks, Nick
