The Rotate (canvas) commands are in the View menu

With the Master Page field having focus but without activating the drop-down list in your screenshot can you select the required Master page by using the up/down arrow keys?

If you are still getting file corruptions on NEW files (not previous ones) disable pCloud synchronisation for wherever you store you Affinity documents locally Also, don't store/save your Affinity documents directly to pCloud (if that's even possible) Then see if you still get file corruptions on documents created from that point forward (we need to eliminate pCloud synchronisation as a possible cause) Don't forget to periodically backup your documents to another drive (not a synchronised cloud service) just in case you need to restore something later

Me too but it doesn't But if you create a new blank master, you can apply that with Migrate and it works. Then delete that blank master (optional) Bear in mind Migrate only seems to work for Frame Content (e.g. Text Frames or Picture Frames that have had content added on the corresponding regular page) It does not work for stuff like shapes or images just placed on a Master page

Select the pages in the Pages panel Right-click and select "Clear Masters" Is that what you did previously? Or do you want to promote all existing Master page content onto the normal page? (for several pages)

Did it open for you?

On first glance it is recoverable using the "Add pages from file" method and can be opened but it warns there are still some "file errors" I'll upload what I have for now but I think the official support staff will need to take a deeper look at it Let me know if you can at least open the attached rec4.afpub

Which Affinity app(s) do you have? Can you upload the file to the forum?

Bye

On Windows any app/dialog showing on the 2nd screen can be moved using the Winkey+Shift+Left/Right Arrow Keys So, it's easy to move an app without having my 2nd screen switched on but I just have a desktop so no mobile working so I can't test if that works without physically disconnecting my 2nd screen (which due to my cable management system, is not easy to test right now) In addition, Windows appear to have some settings (see below) that may control what happens when a 2nd screen is disconnected. I'm not sure if Macs have something similar but I'm surprised that we have not had a lot more reported issues with using Laptops and mobile working if this is a generic problem.

Yes, (but be sure to attach the actual image files not screenshots of them)

All my work is done on my main screen but I have other "monitoring" apps (e.g. Task Manager) automatically started on my second screen when I switch on my PC I don't use my 2nd screen every day and just switch it on/off when I want to see the status of those apps In my opinion it would be wrong (and very annoying) for those apps to move themselves to my main screen if they detect my 2nd screen it not available/switched on.

Go into.... Edit > Settings > Performance ...and switch off Hardware Acceleration (if enabled) to eliminate that as a possible cause

If you also have APhoto you have the twirl filter. Which may be useful. https://affinity.help/photo2/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Filters/filter_twirl.html?title=Twirl

What a lot of people don't realise/know is that when you open an image a snapshot of that image is automatically created and you can refer back to it or restore it into your current document should you want to. So, knowing that, a duplicated background layer isn't essential and (bonus points) the snapshot can never be accidentally overwritten.

Publisher V2 does not run on Windows 7 Where did you read that?

See below...

"Shift+=" will select the next blend mode for the brush, when you have the Brush Tool selected You probably did this accidentally

In the context toolbar try changing the Blend Mode from Darken to Normal

@vpkumar There is a free photo restoration forum where people can post images they would like restored and the forum community members will attempt to give advice or just attempt to restore it for you. You may want to post your image there to see what their "experts" can do If you do and they can do a good job of restoring it, please post that image back here so we can see what they have achieved. https://www.rootschat.com/forum/free-photo-restoration/

From the look of your screenshot, it looks like you have a pixel layer selected. You need to have the mask layer selected if you want to paint black or white on it

Rasterise and Trim is available from a right-click in the Layers panel (no shortcut) Layer > Rasterise is available in the Layers menu and can be assigned a shortcut If you have done a Vector Crop on an image then Layer > Rasterise appears to do the same thing as Rasterise & Trim

You can use File > Place to select all the images at once then on the canvas Click & drag each image to place them on the canvas At this stage you only need to click & drag each image to, say, a thumbnail size just to get them on the page, you can resize them later when you do your layout

Drag the layer (from the Layers panel) that is not highlighted, not the highlighted one

It was also there in V1
