Hi
I am using Photo V2 and would love to find a way to bring to the "forefront" three different players in a football team photo. My story is about these individuals so I would like to enhance their faces and/or maybe to slightly dull the remainder of the picture.
Is anyone aware of an idea, or could there even be a support video that will show me such a technique? (I have looked but don't really know how my request can be explained in a short phrase!
I visualise the enhancement being in the shape of a circle or an oval shape/
Thanks

Sorry to be new to this!! I was just excited to get my previous issue solved, so randomly asked another.
Thank you yes, I would say that the crashing problem is solved - but the crashes were a littel sporadic anyway so a little hard to tell if the problem is cured.
I have followed your new instruction, thank you

Thank you @v_kyr I managed to find the Clear User Data screen, but mine doesn't have the same options as your image. Hope you can see what I'm doind wrong from the attached?

Hi Callum
Sorry to have dragged my feet on responding.
I have tried quite a few times to find an option in Edit > Settings (I couldn't find Preferences) to no avail!
Regarding your second question, I am 95% certain that every crash has been caused by me using the Arrow Keys whilst navigation forwards or backwards through sections of text.
Hope this helps
Thanks
Brian

Thank you Richard

I didn't even realise there was an actual support line, I just presumed the forum was how I got help?
Will support now pick up on this?

Whoops - I didn't realise that I could. Thank you

Good evening to anyone who can help me!
I am really struggling to understand why my pc is continually crashing when using Publisher V2.1.1
It seemed to be happening whenever I used the down arrow key, but all sorts of keystrokes seem to now be triggering a crash. Today I experienced it 4 times in 20 minutes.
I'm not very technical I'm afraid, hence why I am asking for any help that can be given!
Thank you in advance

Thank you so much Mike, I've been fretting over this for a few days after getting home from work. I will now sleep tonight.
The extra text frame was one that I had made for the Chapter number, which I must have stretched out to the size of a page.
Can't thank you enough.

Hi All you clever people, I'm afraid I have caused a problem for myself.
My V2 Publisher file, which should have considerably more text in it than is currently showing, has "developed" a backwards text-flow link and a lot of the text has seemingly disappeared.
It seems to have happened when I tried removing a "rogue" backwards text frame link (which has also instantly re-appeared but the text hasn't!)
Hopefully from the below image you can see what I mean?I am suspicious of the additional "tram-lines" running down the outside of the right hand page, along with the problematic arrow which seems to have decided that the text should flow from the right hand page back to the left hand page. This is the only page out of 232 that has the "outer" tram lines, which I note that the red arrow has connected itself to.
(I am not saying this in an "accusing" way towards the software, just trying to apportion blame away from myself being the muppet that has done something wrong!)
My text started on the right hand page underneath the CHAPTER 01 heading, but I have moved the text that was remaining out of the way so that the arrows are clearer for you to see!
Hope this is enough information to go on?
Also I can't seem to find how to turn on "codes" like in Word, which I have seen in some support pages.
Thank in advance

Hi Mike, sorry to be so sluggish in responding after your kind advice. I have eventually sussed how to use the Picture Frame Rectangular tool (filled with an image) and having eventually spotted that the pinning settings were pushing it off the page I am now fractionally more comfortable and can work forwards in trying to include as many relevant images as I can muster!
Very grateful once again for your help.

Hi Mike
I seem to be experiencing a similar problem in a multi-page book, whereby whenever I try to pin an image to part of the text.
The image has been placed using the place tool, underneath the relevant piece of text it relates to. Then when trying to pin (float to text) the image disappears.
I have looked at videos whereby the image is placed into rectangular picture frame tool, but using this process the image still disappears when trying to pin.
If I create a completely fresh file, and place random text in and try to pin a floating image, whether in a picture frame or not, it works fine.
I am using Affinity Pulisher 2, and the software is on the curent update/version, so I am scratching my head somewhat!
Sorry to target you by joining in on this post, but I've not found anything else in the forums about images disappearing when trying to pin to text.
Fingers crossed

Thank you Celeste, I will definitly have a look into thst option.
Very grateful

Many thanks for the suggestion, and I can totally see that it would make sense. I will change my approach in future and chunk my queries down to one per post.

Much appreciated advice Old Bruce.
I'll try to re-plan my approach based on your comments.
Thankfully I've not put hardly any pics in yet either
Thank you

Hi
I am trying to write a history book about my local football team and am struggling to get to grips with Pinning.
My objective is to have a two page spread of statistical tables at the end of each season (chapter) but I need to pin the tables (or images) to the final piece of text, but still force the tables/images onto the next two page spread. The text will be added to as I go along, which probably makes it a back to front way of doing it.
Could the text be pinned to an anchor placed on the relevant 2-page spread?
Is anyone aware of how I might achieve this please?
TIA

Hi
I am in the middle of a long term book-writing project about my local football club's history, and need someone to help educate me (via Zoom or similar) how to do some fairly basic things. Having entered a fair amount of the text, I am now struggling to get to grips with aspects such as
- Text flow
- Inserting and manipulating images
- Sections
- Table of Contents
- Inserting charts
- Page anchors
- Indexing
I have tried various online tutorials but to be honest I struggle to learn from them.
It would ideally need to be someone who has an interest in football please so that it is not too painful an experience!
I am not exactly a software novice, but need some guidance having got a bit stuck!
Hoping this sort of post is permitted, and that someone is interested enough to help.
Thank you

Thank you trichens so much for pointing me in the right direction.
I've not really got used to layers yet, but with you having prompted me to look, I spotted that the pic was pinned. Wondering whether that was the problem, I unpinned it, and was then able to group them. That was causing me quite a bit of concern, I can now make good progress.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend (I now will!)

Strangely, the other (monochrome) image and text box, which is partly obscured by the menu, were grouped ok?
