Thanks for the help. that did the trick. I love this program and just wish I knew more about it. Thanks for the tutorials. John

Sorry. Uploading now.

Yes the moon layer is a pixel layer.

The file is 28 Mbytes. Too large to upload. suggestions? I think I can share it with icloud, but I need an address or something.

I remember now that I started with a jpg file instead of RAW. But, that shouldn't matter. The file is too big and won't upload.

Hi MEB, I don't see a style at the top.

I have attached a photo I am working on. The moon layer leaves a black line around its layer. Why and how can I remove it? thanks, Big John Wingman

You can watch the videos now using Safari on the iPad.

Hi all, My name is John Daoust. Back in my college days (1971-1973), I had a 35mm camera and took a lot of photos. Life got in the way of that hobby until I retired in 2013. I purchased a Nikon D5200 and started taking photos again. I had bought a copy of Photoshop Elements 2008 and was not that impressed with it. I purchased AP a few months ago and am in the learning stages with some recent, not-to-bad results. I love the power and flexibility of AP and hope to create some really nice photos. Thanks for making an excellent program so affordable. John

There is a Text tutorial included on this webpage. I hope this helps some. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/photo/

Use any you listed but jpg. I export the original RAW file from Aperture to a directory. Then I open that file in Affinity Photo. That way I am working with the camera's RAW file. When finished, I import a jpg of the finished photo back into Aperture. That way I have more control over where the file is stored. My library is split between the Mac drive and an external drive. Why jpg? I won't be doing anything but viewing it. All editing will be done with Affinity Photo.
