olf4 Thank you. Not really what I am looking for. Guess saying the perspective was not right on my part. I am just attempting, like in PS CS5, to bring in the left/right/top/bottom borders so they are all straight. This correction is needed when the original art is not perfectly squared up in the live view (ground glass) Cheers, David

As in PS CS5, crop tool, I can use the perspective tool to correct boundaries of an image file. If the image file is not squared up, left and right, I have the ability to square them. What is the equivalent in AP?

Asha. OS 10.11.3. MacBook Pro 8,3. 17 inch non-glare display. Working display is the NEC MultySync PA 271w. This MacBook Pro just returned from Apple Care, for new video card. Which mean, entire motherboard. Oval, just did that, and all is okay now. Starting the way you suggest, opens a dialogue box. Suggestions please on what I am to do with this box. Send me a screen capture, please. Cheers David

Well, after writing AP is my standard. it keeps quitting when I export. That's as far as I can go. I have zapped the pram, restarted the computer, and used disk utility. Searched in preferences for plist files. Non found. Application support has nothing. Okay, STAFF and MEMBERS, what do I do next? Cheers David update......put AP in trash and re-downloading from Apple site. Tell, me, how many times can I download AP? update...new AP still crashes...... STAFF & MEMBERS...I really need your assistance.

My goal in my workflow requires me to reproduce original art, as close to the original as is mechanically and chemically possible. I personally create .icc profiles for the Epson Pro 9900 printer and substrates, my professional display, and Canon EOS 6D camera. With LR 6.4, as well as with RPP 64, what I adjust in RAW looks pretty much the same in tiff. Adjustments are minor. Not so in AP. I can adjust RAW in AP to appear as close to the original art as possible. In RAW I choose develop assistant, and make sure no changes will come about with the choices. Take no Action. Meaning I don’t want curves or exposue bias affecting and anything else messing with the RAW file. Adjust the image file as close to the original art as possible and ‘develop’. Go to develop and all looks well. However, choosing soft proof, I am back to making large adjustment, again! So. back to the adjustments. Seems there is no point in making adjustments in RAW. I know RAW has quite a latitude for adjustments. Am I tossing the RAW adjustments to the wind? In advance, I thank all, MEMBERS and STAFF, for assisting me. Have have made AP my workflow application. At times, I will also use RPP 64 for my RAW converter, and AP for the balance of the workflow. Printing is done with Printao 8, an application my LSI. And I thank everyone for such a good job on developing AP! Cheers, David

I would like to simple look at the questions I have asked. How do I do that?

How will we all be notified, there is an update/upgrade?

Now, I am wondering if AP will be shot down in a few years like some of the other Apple offerings. Never used Aperture, and know some photogs unhappy it's gone. Maybe, just maybe, serif is NOT Apple. And Apple is just the pipeline from which is it distributed. Cheers David

Thank you Newbie....quick response, and yeah, it is what I need. Cheers David Well, it works. I use dual displays. Unfortunately, at this time, when AP opens on my 27 inch display, and then make the separation, the separate pieces are separated on my 17 inch MacBook Pro screen. Guess I will have to reassemble, on the larger display.

How do I make my AP look like the attached display. I like it ! ! ! I think this layout is easier to work with. Cheers David

barninga, Madame, Thank you. I will try both methods. David

What I am looking for, what I need, is to very simply create a border around an image, for printing. Example is an one inch border, gray, all around the image file. Then, another border, two inches all around, with another color, say, dark blue. Thus I have a matted print that comes out of my Epson Pro 9900. I do this in PS CS5. I would prefer to do this in AP. I don’t want to mess with pixels, since I don’t know how. “Affinity Photo - Adding Borders”…I have watched this time and again. Over and over, and still don’t know what to do. It would be beneficial to me to have a person talking slowly and moving slowly, so I can understand. Even someone else could guide me to a different way to create borders the way I must have them! It should not be that difficult to create borders they way I need them in my work flow. Cheers David

MEM.. I need to learn how to install plugins. Please guide me. Cheers David4

Kindly show me where in AP, I can keep the 'inches' dimensions, permanent. Where do I find the control? Is it in "preferences"?.... In 'develop' I must continuously change 'pixels' to 'inches'. Cheers, Hey....you are all greet in helping each other. David4

Thank you, markw, for the quick response. Unfortunately the vimeo stutters, and quits. I'll try again Cheers, David4

What do I do with "scope"? Cheers, David4

Ruler in AP in inches had large numbers, easily read. I did something, and now the inches is tiny with many markings. I cannot read them. Please tell me how to undo whatever I did. Cheers David4

It would be nice if the choice of 'inches' is locked in, kept, rather going back to pixels.

CameraProfiles; I want to use .dcp camera profile. How do I instal then into AP? To get the .dcp camera profile, I digitally capture the 24 patch X-rite cardboard target. Convert that digital capture to dng with Adobe dng converter, and create the camera profile using dng profile editor. The .dcp camera profile works perfectly in my LR 6.3 workflow. That is the reason I would like to be able to use the .dcp camera profile. Now, if Serif has a better way or different way to create and use a camera profile, please tell me. Thank you in advance

I need to know how to know the image file physical dimensions. Width and length in inches. Just can not figure this out. Would be very helpful if 'units: inches', would keep as inches instead of reverting back to pixels.
