Hi jounas Welcome to the forum! You will need to create the pattern first, then insert the pattern as a new layer over your image. You may find this tutorial helpful: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/16039-seamless-raster-patterns/ Let me know if there's anything your not sure about :) J

Hi BJA 42 Can you explain what you were seeing in the previous versions when flattening your image? I have followed these instructions and it seems to be working as expected. Duplicate Background Layer - Layer > Duplicate Select Duplicated Layer Change Blend Mode from Normal to Overlay or Soft Light Go to Filters > Sharpen > High Pass.... Change Radius and click Apply Select both Layers, Document > Flatten Cheers - J

Hi Simmo Can you check you are running the latest version of the app? (1.4) to do this, just go to Affinity Designer>About if you are, under the Swatches tab, select one of the Pantone groups and you should see the search directly below as shown in the screenshot. J

Hi Pugpug60 Welcome to the forums! :) Strange! Would it be possible for you to export the same document to a PDF and see if you have the same issue? If you do have the same issue, could you provide a copy of the file you are working with so I could take a closer look? J

Hi Wieger Welcome to the forums! :) Previewing the Bleed Area wasn't included in the 1.4 release, this will be implemented in a later update (in the Beta's) You will need to export the document to see the bleed applied. J

Hi allen57301 Thanks for your feedback :) Affinity Publishers feature list hasn't been confirmed so we wouldn't be able to say this would be included in the first update or perhaps an update further down the line just yet. I would advise posting any suggestions in the Feature Requests section of the forum :) J

Hi IanStuartPhotographer This sounds like potentially a connection issue or Apple are having some trouble on their end, give it some time and try the update again. J

Hi Shall, Welcome to the forum! :) Working fine here after the update, what seems to be the issue your having when opening the app? It maybe worth moving the apps to the trash, and reinstalling via the 'Purchased' items on the App Store. J

Hi Matt, This has been mentioned before and MattP posted a reply here suggesting this is being looked into. Cheers

Hi This tutorial may help, although this video is different from what you're looking to do the concept would be the same. Taking a part of one image and adding it into another. You may need to lower the opacity setting on the new set of teeth to show a kind of before/after effect. I hope this helps. J

Hi lowellmk Welcome to the forums! :) To open RAW files simply click File>Open and select your file, this will load the Develop persona. You may want to check out the supported RAW list to make sure your camera is listed. J

No problem! :)

Hi GoSmarter Focus stacking has been requested before so hopefully this is something that will be added in the future :) You can keep up to date with the new features on our roadmap J

Hi Pixfan :) As app developers we're strictly not involved in any Mac App Store transactions so we can't step in and help - but you can seek a refund from Apple and then repurchase at the promotional price with ease. You can contact them via https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action(clicking Purchases, Billing & Redemption). J

Ciao Giuliano! Benvenuti nel forum! :) Non abbiamo guide in formato PDF per il momento, questo forse qualcosa che vedremo in futuro. Per il momento, vi suggeriamo usando l'aiuto integrato, in quanto questo è già tradotta e molto intuitiva! J

Hi GrantTransitionGraphics Welcome to the forums :) A Blend Tool feature is listed on our roadmap so you'll be seeing this in a future update. Affinity Designer does include Vector Brushes and should be great for what your looking to do. We have a full list of video tutorials here, should you not find what your looking for in any of the tutorials feel free to revisit this forum and ask a question. :) J

Hi youngg1 Welcome to the forum! This video may be of some use to you :) J

Hi ferreirex You could use the Selection Brush to highlight the bag, copy and paste onto a background that is the size you want it to be. Alternatively you could make the canvas size larger than the image and use the brush or clone tool to fill in the blank spaces. I hope this helps! J

Hi RONROSSISR Welcome to the forum :) Would it be possible to provide a copy of the file your working with? It might be best if we take a look, it could be especially tricky if you have quite a lot of blur on the image.. J

Hi tomn Great to hear you like the Artboards! They have been requested a lot in the past and we're glad to include them in the app. :) With regards to creating your own predefined page sizes, this also has been requested a lot and it is something we hope to add in the future. As mentioned here. J

Hi There isn't a 'Rotate Tool' in the toolbar, to rotate the canvas, in the View menu select Rotate Left or Rotate Right. The canvas will be rotated in 15 degree increments. From the same menu, select Reset Rotation to reset the canvas back to its original rotation. There isn't already a shortcut for rotating the canvas but you can create your own. Just go into Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts and in this window ensure you have the View menu selected. You will then be able to create a shortcut for rotating. J

Hi PeterH This has been mentioned recently and there's a reply from MattP suggesting this will be looked into. Check out the thread here. Your issue maybe similar. J

Hi ralex You can use Document>Flatten within Affinity Photo and then File>Export and export in any of the formats available to you. You are not restricted to JPEG. I hope this helps. J

Hi nicoppc Are you running the latest version of the Photo app? If so, you should find the flatten option under the Document menu. (Document>Flatten) 'Merge Down' will create a new layer based on all of your other layers, which can be useful! J

Hi Patou Welcome to the forums! This has been mentioned before, it is possible to sample a colour using certain tools within the app. Check out MEB's reply to a similar question here. J
