I find the only way to cut an image into two separate sections at the moment is to redraw BOTH sections. Copy paste and deleting the nodules I don't want, still leaves the half image as a compound shape and 'release compound' greyed out.
Has a workaround been found please?

.. or if it is a closed curve or shape you want to cut, you could draw another closed curve across it and use the subtract function.

It should serve the same purpose, though, shouldn't it. Vimeo allows you to download the videos to your machine, and play them whenever you want.

There are currently 223 tutorial videos on the official Affinity Photo channel, each one available in five different formats. That’s an awful lot of material for someone to compile into a small collection of downloads on the off-chance that a few users might want to download a complete set.

Can't please everyone...

Yes Curves are the same as outlines
Make sure you have the Move tool selected (V) Select the text Click on Convert to curves Affinity Photo will create a group with all of the letters on separate layers as curves that can be edited.

Adding slightly to what @firstdefence said, if you want just the unfilled, 'hollow' outlines of the text characters, you can do that after converting the text to separate curves by selecting all of them, adding a stroke of the desired outline width, & setting their fill to "none."

As was done here, you may also want to adjust the spacing between the individual curves a bit for a little different, more uniform look.

In this Affinity Designer tutorial, You will learn how to create an amazing rope text effect using the Pen tool, Node Tool, and Rope Thick Brush. After this work applying outer shadow from layer effect for an amazing look. I hope you enjoyed. Thanks.
 

If the View (Hand) Tool is selected, the pixel dimensions, megapixel (MP) size, & the color profile should all be displayed in the Context toolbar. If the Context toolbar is not visible, tick "Show Context Toolbar" in the View menu.

Hi, I'm fairly new to photo editing and I just bought AP. I'm trying to achieve this effect by following this (PS) tutorial, tho I'm stuck at what hes does at 6:00 into the clip. When I'm trying to make the mask and then invert it, tho I don't get the same effect in AP. Could anyone explain how to achieve this in AP? Couldn't find any AP tutorial on a similar effect.
 
 

Is it similar to this.
 

I'm on iPad (which handles masks a little differently to desktop) but the technique in your video sample can be reproduced easily enough (6.00 min mark). Open main image (washer (or clock in my example). Place second image (mountains and road). Second image layer is above main image layer. Lower opacity of second image and move it/size it to get road in opening of main image. When happy, restore opacity to 100%.
Add a mask layer to the second image (the one you want to show through). Select the mask layer, go to channels and invert the mask layer. This makes it black to block out (mask) the image. Now you see only the main image.
Use selection tool and elliptical marquee tool to draw over the main image where you want the second image to show through. Copy this selection to new layer and fill this selection with white (white unmasks), now drag this new white circle layer onto the 'mask' layer associated with the second image. This creates a white circle on your black mask. The portion of the back image revealed by the white circle shows through on the front image. This is what occurs at the 6:00min mark of your video. (Actually same concept as the video I referred you to).
To finish the effect select a paintbrush and white colour then paint into the mask layer to reveal the road coming through the opening.
You can reduce the opacity of the white circle to show a little of the clock face as in my example.
Add another background (ocean wave). Mask the bits you want to see as white. 2nd image.
 

I doubt it can get much simpler than this : 
 

Hi all, thought I would share a quick tutorial I have done - showing how to cut out a image selection using the brush tool in Affinity Photo. Apologies if this post is in the wrong area.

In this tutorial I will demonstrate the option Copy items as SVG in Affinity Designer 1.6.0.  
 
 
I use this function often to animate SVG with CSS keyframe animations and some JS in HTML. Just like this example which is a GIF (SVG is not allowed because of it's security issue).
 

You can watch the original SVG file here.
 
Keep on drawin'

I want to download a few tutorials to a usb drive or external hard drive to show members of my Camera Club what they are missing.
The selected tutorials will be projected at a Club evening. 
Please advise,is this permitted and how do I do the download bit.

Hi Sam, if you follow the links in the Designer and Photo tutorial threads to the Vimeo versions, you can download high quality versions - there's usually a Download button to the left of Share. Given the choice, I'd go for the highest resolution available - this is usually 1080p, UHD 1440p, or, in some rare cases, UHD 4K. You can also download the "Original" versions which are the original uploaded video files, but they'll be significantly bigger in file size. If file size and download time aren't a concern the originals will look very nice 
 
Hope that helps.
