Cokeman

Thanks very much RC-R, i have now put them in the applications folder. Your help is very much appreciated as I was not aware to put them there. Thanks again.

I have ticked the box - keep in dock. When i turned off mac and started again it had 3 question marks near AP, APUB, and AD. SO i clicked on them and then it reinstalled them again or loaded them up into system. Is it possible to have these programs in the dock without me actually having to load them in again. I am finding the whole system of this rather infuriating compared to adobe indesign where its already to go every time. Id rather pay for convenience as opposed to this crap wasting my time. Is it possible to get this fixed or not? If not im back to adobe and its not about the money - its convenience. Appreciate anyones help if they can assist. Thanks.

Disregard last message. I now have them linked. Only drama is that I am having trouble trying to have them remain in the dock as when i turn off my mac and start i have to reinstall all the programs again. Im guessing there is an easy solution to this?

Thanks for that. Did everything you said and still unsuccessful. Please note that I am using a mac. This screen appears as per attachment. If there is another way could somebody please advise. I have now been working on this for the past 48 hours with zero success. Appreciate Affinity making me want to appreciate the downloading and having it on my system however am becoming somewhat tired of their pranking me. It was funny for the first 36 hours but now im about to get the hammer out and completely destroy my mac. Apart from that everything is great. Please see my screen shot below. Thanks.

Thanks very much for help guys. I am still struggling with this as i had designer, and then publisher and finally photo. so it looks like i will have to start over again and install photo and then designer and then publisher. still in progress.

Hi, All 3 of the programs - publisher, photo and designer are not linking up and have been reinstalling the programs regularly and now its getting beyond a joke. Yes i have tried studio link and it doesn't link anything to them. it only recognises the programs individually. Is there a step by step video on this to get it done?

Thanks very much Komatos for your help. Much appreciated.

Thanks for your help however as I am a newbie i have no idea whether it is a image or a pixel layer. all i wanted to do was cut out around a persons face and cut and paste that for different background settings. Can you please advise as to how i would get the information on whether or not i am using a image or pixel layer.

Thanks Space Bar, I have done as per your suggestion however cannot locate where to turn off OpenCL acceleration

cant find it - it doesn't exist on my program - evidence below
