Hi Njakeman,
Are you using an Apple Pencil?
Thanks
Callum
Are you able to help further Callum?
-
Any more advice?
-
Callum - I am.
The pencil is lifted from the screen for me to perform pinch and rotate gestures.. -
I’m struggling with pixel persona in Designer on iPad as I keep triggering a gesture shortcut that brings up the colour picker loop when using the brush tool.
This means I regularly sample new colours by accident and then have to manually revert to the colour I was using before.
I can’t quite work out what combination or sequence of gestures I am performing!!
It seems to involve brief taps with 2 fingers, usually when I’m trying to rotate the canvas, but I can’t work out a consistent combo.
help please!!
-
Thanks Lee.
I already had the touch settings, but I’m still hitting some sort of shortcut to pick a new color. Must be a gesture based thing.
I can’t recreate it - only do it by accident!
For the resize question I may not have explained myself well...
Imagine I’ve had drawn a circle that I then want to be half its original size - so not the size of the selection, but the ratesterised area I’ve selected (not a vector object)
-
1. When making a selection on a raster layer, how might I resize the selected region? E.g. If I’ve started drawing too large and want to reduce the size of the elements I have drawn to fit in the feet for instance.
2. When drawing I often find that if the side of my hand rests on the pad surface, I mistakenly select a new color. As I tend to be working on the grayscale, this usually means I switch from black to white. I can’t quite work out what shortcut I might be hitting!
Advice appreciated
-
Thanks Lee. Any advice on the second bit? i.e. how to draw a differently styled object in front of the layer you have selected
-
Found it!
-
Thank Alfred. Where is the Transform panel though??
-
Is it possible to skew a vector primitive in the same way as in the desktop versions?

Hi forum,
On both Photo and Designer, I'm often confused by when my vector stroke styles are either inherited from the last object I create or not.
I can't work out the rules for how this happens - can anyone advise on how to control this behaviour either way?Similar issues when I just want to draw a new vector with a new fill colour. So I might select the previous vector layer because I want to insert a new object in front of it. This object will always inherit the style of the one I have selected, which is often not what I want, and can make it hard to see the new shape. I have to change the fill and stroke afterward to stand out against the underlying object.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple here!!

Thanks DWright - I didn't know I could change the RAW engine.
I simply open the file in AP straight into develop mode. Where can I check this setting?
(Sample RAW attached)
EDIT: I can see that I am using the Serif engine, but the file itself came via Apple Photos - i.e. imported to library, then Exported original for use in AP
-
Quick question - I have just started to using Panasonic RW2 files in AP from a GH5.
It seems a lot harder to get a pleasing result than with the Nikon raws I've used in the past.
The default treatment is very flat, undersaturated but I'm having trouble producing a pleasing developed image.(see attached image for example)
Ramping up the saturation only helps marginally, curves adjustments too.
Does anyone have a good workflow for GH5 image processing they have established?
Many thanks.

I seem to be getting unexpected behaviour when dragging a pixel layer to nest in a vector layer (expecting a nice neat crop)
Sometimes it works as expected. Other times the nested element appears slightly inset in the layer and the image is not visible.
It's driving me crazy! Screenshot attached - what am I doing wrong?? ;-)
-
Chris_K thanks - I may have posted to the wrong forum then! My question was actually regarding Photo. Still not sure how to complete this action though?
Could you describe?

Hi,
Is it possible to use a closed curve/polygon in a vector layer to create a selection area that can then be used to clip a pixel layer?
I have got an .ai file from a designer with shapes in it that I need to use as templates for multiple crops of a raster image, that will then be used to assemble a new composite.
e.g. in the attached SS I want to create a selection area using the selected white polygon...
Possible?
-
Thanks both - I thought there would be something I was missing

When I use Affinity to straighten images I usually end up with a jagged broken line.
I've taken to straightening with Capture NX which seems to do a better job.
Is there a setting that might be affecting this option?
See attachments...

Thanks for the pointers!

Hello all,
General question with some background:
I'm new to Affinity, have little experience of Photoshop, and I'm relatively new to photography.
I'm keen to attempt some Infra red photography as the examples I've seen online are very interesting.
I have found plenty of instructions about how to process these images in PS, but I'm not always able to find the equivalent functions in Affinity Photo.
Does anyone have an example workflow using Affinity that they have used for this sort of work.
Many thanks in advance
Neil
Interface Items Disappearing Randomly
in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Posted
I'm on Windows 10, using Photo 1.10.1.1142.
When using the application, parts of the interface will disappear unexpectedly, but can be seen again when the mouse is 'waved' over the area where they should be visible.
Minimising the window and then Maximising it also restores visibility of the interface.
I have an RTX 3070 and HW acceleration is enabled.
GPU drivers are version 496.13
Screenshots attached. Is this a known issue, or peculiar to my system?
