    tom_tm got a reaction from Dan C in Publisher v2.2.0 cannot make columns   
    Thanks. Silly me.
    It seems this option was reset after the update. I've just used Publisher to self-publish a photo-book and everything was up until that point before the 2.2 update was working as expected. This completely threw me. 

    Thanks again!

    Show column guides is ticked?
    Or perhaps the preview option is set to off?

    tom_tm got a reaction from JFisher in Introduce Yourself   
    I suppose I really should introduce myself- except I'm not a great one for doing so! I'm Tom, and I'm from Birmingham in the West Midlands, England and fairly near Nottingham, the home of Serif? "The Serif of Nottingham" perhaps? Or has that been said a billion times before already? I'll get my coat...

    I've been a photographer for the best part of 44 years. I'm a bit of a purist in that I've always preferred to work almost entirely within the camera and getting shots in one take. But recently I've needed to use composites more and more, and I was fed up with how Adobe was going (Fed up with Apple now since they've ditched Aperture). So hence being quite excited about Affinity Photo, and why I'm here. :)

    Hi jmac, 
    As far as i know, currently no. You have to use the context toolbar buttons to do it.
     
    Note that the original question was how to do this starting with a shape converted to a selection and not adding a new pixel selection to an existing one. For that changing the Mode to Add/Subtract/Intersect in the context toolbar when one of the selection tools is selected is enough.

    Is it not possible to simply hold down the shift key while using the selection tool to add to a selection or the alt/option key to subtract from a selection?

    Hi Tom,
    Your shapes are probably still int the document but are not visible. With the Move tool draw a selection marquee around the document area to select them (you may need to ⇧ (shift)-click the image if it beomes selected, to deselect it) then with the Pen Tool selected, go to the context toolbar and set a colour for the Fill or set a stroke width so you can see them. Be aware that the conversion to a selection will also take the stroke's width in consideration so keep it thin.
    Let me know if you still have trouble.

    Hi MEB.
     
    Thanks for the prompt reply!
     
    I'll give that a go. I did experiment a little more then found the duplicate tool (video on using vectors said the duplicate command is command-D, but in fact it's command-J. Unless of course I'm missing something). The duplicate tool allowed me to make a workaround, but I want to try and avoid that as there's nothing worse than learning bad habits in software. 
     
    But it'll have to wait now, as it's late. Have a good night, and I'll be back tomorrow with more questions. 
     
    Tom

    Hi Tom, 
    Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
    Draw all your shapes with the Pen tool first, then go to menu Layer ▸ Geometry ▸ Add to create a single shape from them all, finally convert to a selection.
    In case you need to add another path/shape, first save the selection you already have as a Spare Channel going to menu Select ▸ Save Selection ▸ As Spare Channel, create the new shape with the Pen Tool and convert it to a selection, then go to the Channels tab on the bottom right of the interface, right-click the Spare Channel and select Add To Pixel Selection to add the previously saved selection to the new one.
