I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. I'll let someone else continue with this or the official support staff will be back on Monday for you

Can you elaborate a bit more on exactly what you mean by "resetting my brush back to default"?

So, I give a document a name when I create it, do a lot of work, then save that document, get a message that states... "That file already exists". I, on a deadline and without thinking, select "Yes" to overwrite it and loose a very important document with the same name Way too risky for me and inexperienced users may run into issues with it, losing/overwriting previous work in the process

This may be due to a new option in V2 With the Move Tool selected you should see an option in the context toolbar call Auto Select if you change the dropdown next to that to Groups, does selecting an item on the canvas then select the group for you If not we may need you to upload a full-size screenshot of what you are seeing with the Layers panel in view and the Move Tool selected

If you select (highlight) 2 layers in the Layers Panel and do Arrange > Group in APhoto ...what happens? Or Layer > Group in Designer

Close all Affinity apps Enter %appdata% in File Explorer then navigate to ....\Affinity\Common\2.0\user\raster_brushes.propcol" Renaming that file to "raster_brushes.old" will force the app to recreate it when you next start the app There is also a vector_brushes.propcol file for the vector brushes if you ever need to do that one as well

Sorry I should have read your post better Are you on Windows or Mac and if Windows did you install the MSIX or exe version?

In the same screen where you saw "Clear User Data" there is a "Reset Brushes" option, did you try that? Bear in mind this resets brushes across all your Affinity apps and you may have to reinstall any additional brush packs you have purchased

Your RGB values are changing in the video You dont need to lift the mouse on Windows It does on Windows

To elaborate... You can drag a sampler from the Info Panel to anywhere on the photo and that will show you the RGB value at that point Changing the sliders in the "selective color adjustment or the HSL adjustment" will update those RGB values in the Info Panel Other than that, I'm not entirely sure what you are wanting to do exactly

Where (what sort of drive) are you saving them to? And are you synching those saved files to any sort of cloud service? Can you upload, to the forum, one of the files that cannot be opened?

I'm don't think you can copy the formatted text from Google Docs to Publisher but I think it works from Word (Windows) to Publisher So, try pasting first to Word then copy/paste that to Publisher

There a large file called personabackstore.dat which is a temp file created by the Affinity software (presumably when it runs out of memory) which can become very large - reports of over 100GB Since it is a temp file that explains why your disk space returns after a reboot Search the forum for "personabackstore" to read up on this issue and where to find and monitor that file, to see if it is the culprit in your case

In File Explorer what is the "Last Date Modified" of Project A (not the Date Created") and does it correspond to the time yesterday, when you saved it This assumes you have not resaved Project A since then

Select > Select Object > Picture Frame Should allow you to do as you want but check out the Help file first to fully understand what is does

From the help file... Press the Ctrl and Alt keys together and: Click to cycle between width and hardness, shape and spacing, and rotation attributes. Drag left/right or up/down to adjust the corresponding attribute. For example, with width and hardness attributes selected, drag left/right to adjust the first attribute and up/down to adjust the second attribute.

Blurry (low res) images are indicative of the document not being able to load linked images In resource manager I see that your images are specified as "Linked (Remote)" which I think is some kind of cloud service You may want to move those images to your local drive to eliminate this as the cause of the blurry images (it's easy to relink them, in one step, once moved) Alternatively, you could embed your images rather than link them but I notice you have one mega image of 446MB so you might want to take a look at that bad boy before embedding the images Personally, I would do the above first then see if the document is now stable or not PS Make a copy/backup of your current document before proceeding

You are never alone in this forum

At a guess did you add your polygon selection after you added the Levels Adjustment Layer? You need to add the selection first

The link below shows how you can batch process Raw files in the Develop persona using a macro and the File > New Batch Job command in APhoto

Thanks, hopefully support or the Devs will be able to analyse the "empty" file and find out why the file size is large On windows an empty publisher file is about 12KB for me Just one more thing... Are you creating and saving the file on a networked drive or NAS drive etc and if so, what is the file size when creating and saving to your local drive?

When you say the file is "empty" do you mean you just created a new file and did nothing else but save it or did you do some work then deleted everything until it was "empty" and then saved it? Also, can you upload the "empty" file to the forum?

If iCloud is involved disable it. Copy the document to a local (non-synched drive) and try to open it there

Doh! Just remembered that auto corrects are language specific Your text has to be set to the same language as the auto-correct language setting you are changing So, for example, if your text is set to no language or English (United States) changing the auto-correct setting for English (United Kingdom) will have no effect Please check the language your text is set to by highlighting the text and then checking the language setting in the character panel

I think, maybe the Devs/Support will need to look into your issue further and testing with "MacOs: Sonoma 14.0"
