Stuck on this ! Need Help ?
RichardMH replied to augustya's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Basically yes. But it might be easier to change the colour of the existing shirt if that's all you want to do. -

The Patch Tool gives more control than cloning with frequency separation. Might do what you want more easily. You can work around the creases you want to leave. -

Sorry meant map. This sort of thing. But hunt around. -

You probably want to use a Displace map. (Filters->Distort->Displace or as a live filter). There are a few youtube videos on using it. Its a bit fiddly at first. -
I export from Photo for competitions and I think its the same for designer. My club wants around 2Mb. Usually I drop the size to 3000px on the longest side (Sometimes they only want 1920x1080 pixels as that's what their monitors have, but some judges have a bit bigger) then play with the quality slider to get the size I want. Rejig it if it doesn't look good. But I sort of work with the size of the monitors I think the judges will be using.

White Lines on Images

Also check your graphics drivers are up to date. -
Minimising window with multiple screens, Photo.
RichardMH replied to RichardMH's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
A possibly related issue is I can no longer get colour information using Info from my main screen, only from the screen on my second monitor. -
Minimising window with multiple screens, Photo.
RichardMH posted a topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
If I have a floating window in full screen on my second monitor and minimise Photo, when I bring Photo back again the window on the second screen is blank. Need to leave full screen to get the image back. Its all OK if the floating window isn't in full screen. Windows 11. -
I run the Windows version abeMeda and the short answer there is yes. Disadvantage is it doesn't do "live" catalogue updates. So more for the heavy lifting. I use FastRawViewer and Affinity Photo itself to manage my day to day editing. FastRawViewer also works with MSIX but sadly doesn't list .afphoto files.

support desperately needed
RichardMH replied to Joyce D's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Affinity Photo is probably not the best first editing program. Have a look at Capture One Express for Sony, which is free and will get you started with the basics. Then transition to AP when you need more. -
Sun glare on forehead
RichardMH replied to davidj1's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Quick and dirty approach is to create a new fill layer, use the picker to give it a skin colour from his forehead say, change the blend mode to darker colour, mask it out and brush it in. If you want to add texture sometimes the Patch tool with Texture only will do it once you have the colour. -
File destroyed by AFPhoto2
RichardMH replied to Blastkist's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hope you now have a back up copy. Please do that before you start playing with recovery methods. One thing to try is to start a new document in Publisher and try Add Pages from File in the Document menu. -
In Windows Settings Installed apps if you click on t he 3 little dots and Advanced options there are repair and reset tabs when you scroll down. Might be worth a try. Do you have hardware acceleration on? You can turn it off if you hold down the ctrl key at start up. Assume your graphics drivers are up to date. A clean reinstall might help if that's possible with AMD. There's more things to try if none of this works.

Develop vs. Edit persona
RichardMH replied to Pito Salas's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Maybe think of Develop Persona as like Camera Raw and Photo Persona like Photoshop. -
Affinity Photo 2 on Multiple Monitors
RichardMH replied to GreenSWOhio's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
I can duplicate what you do and don't have your problem after the first adjustment. On the retail version first adjustment I open jumps screens and hides behind the image on the other screen. If I drag it back the rest are fine. On more testing the beta is the same. Work around for me is to open an adjustment before I move the image. -
Affinity Photo 2 on Multiple Monitors
RichardMH replied to GreenSWOhio's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Not exactly sure what you are doing. I have two screens on a Dell desktop and if I want to do something along the lines you talk about I click New View in the View menu, Then Window->Arrange->Float and drag the image to the second monitor. -
Urgent problem with pdf export
RichardMH replied to Antje Müller's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
There's something odd happening with colour spaces. On my sRGB screen I just get the outline of the pattern but on my wide gamut screen the pattern is filled in. -

If you edit the first pages in Photo what does it look like? (Edit in Photo from the file menu)
