Just so you know, most people would use the rectangular shape tool to create a rectangular shape and fill it with the colour you want rather than using a selection to create a rectangle
Both results look the same but shapes are far more flexible
-
You have to create a layer first on an empty canvas to use the marquee tool like this.
Layer> New Layer
Then Edit> Fill will work the way you want it to
-
That sounds more like Artistic text rather that Frame text
A screenshot of the text bounding box and the layers panel would help if you still cant figure it out

...can you upload one here (or provide a link to one, if too big to upload)
Excuse my ignorance, but this is the first time I am participating in any forum and I have no clue how to upload a 50MB file for general use. If you could point me to the right direction I would be grateful. And don't forget I am not familiar with Macs I am a Win user.
50MB is probably too large for this forum.
Create a free account on something like https://www.dropbox.com/ then you can upload your file and share it via a URL created on the same site

I know you sent a sample DNG to Serif but can you upload one here (or provide a link to one, if too big to upload)
Then others can test the loading time and if any have the same times as yours, then comparisons of the OS, software and hardware specs may provide pointers to the cause of the "problem"

London Zoo visit , 4th Jan 2017
Nice to see the animal rides have been updated.
Last time I was there (back in 1973) I only got to sit on a stationary donkey for a few minutes

You can create a macro to record and subsequently replay those adjustments on new images
View> Studio> Macro

The inpainting tool is used to remove objects from a picture
Instead, use the Selection Brush to make a selection of the snowman and then copy / paste that into the new image
This video may help, with the basics

Not sure I understand exactly what you 3D guys do but this video shows repeating patterns using symbols, which may (or not) be useful
PS It's for AD not AP

Yup +1
Anyone that wants to improve their work will always be open to suggestions, especially me, so I have no problems with someone offering alternative or additional advice on how they would have done what I did.

Nice photo but without seeing the original it's hard to see how much Affinity has improved it

any other ideas gratefully received.

If you look at the edges of the couple in the picture you can see it is jaggy in places, like the lady's left arm and her hair.
A simple and quick trick to fix this is to select the Blur brush and using a small size brush just run the brush along the jaggy edges of the couple, which helps the image blend in to the background better.
-
Like Mike said it can be a number of reasons. The best way to get better advice on something like this is to attach the picture in question
-
Try
Filters> Colours> Erase White Paper

Apparently not that confusing, Alfred - this is the first post on the topic that I've seen, and the OP figured it out too.
There have been a few posts in the past where users have obviously been confused with this
There is simply no reason for the words "Affinity Files" to be in that particular export dialogue box, it should just say *.jpg, *.tiff or whatever format the user has selected.
By adding the words "Affinity Files" it looks like you are about to save in some form of proprietary Affinity file format
Mucho confusion the first time you encounter it

Thanks, but ain't that just for equal distances between objects?
The picture you have attached shows the bottom row of 4 pictures with uneven horizontal spacing.
I assumed you wanted to know how to align the 4 pictures with equal spacing. If so, you just select all 4 pictures and use the Align Horizontally command (space horizontally) to do so.
If not, can you elaborate on what it is you want to do?
-
AD has built in commands to align objects horizontally or vertically, with equal spacing between objects
Search the built-in help for..
aligning objects
post again if you still need more help on this

There is no need to do it another way if you have already done the 1 - 5 steps previously given by mac_heibu.
Just continue with steps 6 - 9 below
1. Select the layer you want to re-color.
2. Click onto the small icon at the bottom of the "Layers" section named "Adjustments".
3. Choose "Black and White". -> An (non destructive) adjustment layer is placed on top of your image layer and the image turns black and white.
4. Drag this adjustment layer onto your image layer. -> An adjustment layer mask is created.
5. Select this layer mask and paint onto it. -> Black restores the colours.
Continue here
6. Select the Black and White adjustment layer mask on its own7. From the menus, Select > Selection From Layer
8. Then select the background layer
9. From the menus, Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur
and adjust the blur as required

All the videos are shown running on a Mac computer
The so called "traffic lights" will only show on a Mac computer
On Windows you will just have a simple "X" on the top right of the dialog box.
Pressing the red traffic light on a Mac dialog box is the same as pressing the "X" on a Windows PC and simply closes the dialog box
-
I'd also be interested if there is an equivalent or work around to PSE "Paste in selection" as I use this method to create a collage of images.
Don't use a selection, use a quick shape instead, like a rectangle or circle and put that where you would have put the selection.
Then with the quick shape selected use Edit > Paste Inside
That should give you the same result as PSE's "Paste in selection"

Hi Robert
For the clock face example, as an alternative way of doing things
Try creating 2 points of the clock with one continuous line, say, 12 to 6 o'clock. Then you can power duplicate this line using the rotation set to 6 degrees and the centre of rotation set to the centre of the line all within the Transform panel
Then add a circle shape from the centre outwards and colour it the same colour of the background colour to hide most of the lines just leaving as much as the tick marks that you want to display
I have attached a couple of pictures to try to explain what I mean
Will this work for what you want to do?
