Perfect...thanks. I clicked the preserve alpa in the live filter and the reduction in opacity at the top and bottom was removed.

Sorry I think I still have an issue. Please see attached. The top and bottom boarder appears as pixels on my screen and only appeared once i added a live motion blur filter. It doesn't appear when I add just a normal motion blur filter. Why does this pixel border appear when I use a live filter vs not live filter

Thank you. I see now what i did wrong. In the Development Persona my output was set as Pixel Layer. When I switched the output to RAW Layer (linked)or, RAW Layer (embedded) then the strange pixel border at the top and bottom of the image disappeared. Thank you again

Thank you for your response. Not sure what you meant by dimension adjustments before taking it over.

After processing my image in the development persona and now working in the photo persona my image has a pixel border on the top and bottom of my image which I cant figure how to turn in off. I can crop it out but them it changes the dimensions on my photo. Help please

Why is this tool not set up to be nondestructive edit. I understand that AF is not Lightroom and I truly welcome that but there are some items that make sense. Like having the dehaze slider as nondestructive edit

Is there a way to edit the list of adjustments within the adjustments panel. For example I'd like rearrange the items starting with the more frequently items I use. Or in some cases delete or remove ones I never use Thank you

Can someone please share how I can use the gradient tool with adjustment such as exposure or white balance while working outside of the development presona

Is there a way to use brushes to paint on adjustment or filter layers.

My trial version of Affinity as long expired and I've been working with the full version for some months now. I just tried to open a photo with an .afphoto extension and affinity trial version keeps trying to open the photo even though I have full version affinity open. How do i permanently delete the trial version.

Shooting without a lens hood and now I've got the dreaded sun spots. Been trying to remove or even just lessen the effect to no avail. Please help.

Hi all. Was watching the online tutorial under enhancing landscape/architecture where a vector tool was used to vector windows and then a light filter was applied to the vector area. The tutorial focus was mainly around grouping the vector masks. Was wondering if there was more information on how to apply the vector tool to start with. Thank you

Wanted to ask the expert users. Whats the best mouse to use with Affinity. What about a tracker ball mouse option.

sorry of the delay. As it turns out i needed to restart the software to make things work. That happened now a couple of times. I should just get into the habit of rebooting the software rather than leave it running all the day the long

In trouble again. I've followed the bohke tutorial to the point where I've selected my paint brush and am working in only my masked bohke layer. However unlike in the video when I pass my paint brush over the image i want to convert back to focus all i see/or get is a hatched looked outcome, not the in focused image. Where did i go wrong. My photo is in colour and not B/W as in the video

all fixed...thank you

Hello! I'm following the tutorial on creating bokeh. Fun. However i'm stuck. I'm trying to select black as per the tutorial but i cant figure how to make the switch. On the left side panel under the colour tab I have the two overlapping circles - one black the other white. The top circle is black and the underlying circle is white. However next to it is the eye dropper symbol and a smaller circle. The circle is coloured purple. Not even sure how i got it that colour. Anyway, its supposed be black. Please, what are the institutions for switching this colour. Truth be told I'm not even sure how to edit any of them or their purposes at this point. LOL.....

thanks. great advise! I def need to spend more time understanding the different persona's as well as nesting. It might be, after watch a tutorial on this, that i'm not selecting the correct nest or pixel and therefore the edit tool I'm selecting isnt pointed in the right direction. so much to learn...not enough time! :D

Greetings all, I've traditionally been taking all my photo as JPEG and only recently learned how to shoot both JEPG and RAW. So much to learn! Since jumping into Affinity I'm learning that its best (perhaps?) to just shoot RAW. I use Photo to manage my photo files and know how to switch between JPEG and RAW. However Ive discovered that not all edit options via Affinity are available to my older JEPG files that I'm experimenting with. Is there a simple way to know which edit tools are available with just JPEG. I'd would also greatly appreciate your opinions on shooting either JPEG, JPEG+RAW, and just RAW. Or any of the other file format options. :)

Updated the whole OS to El Captain and it worked. The extensions where there. Thank you. You guys rock!

My apologies. I should explain that the extensions tab at the bottom of the edit options as in the video just isn't there.

Thank you for the quick response. Still no results. My version of Photos is Version 1.0.1. Could this be the issue.

Just watched the video on extensions for Apple Photos. Great option. However, the affinity extension options are not available in Photos under edit photo

Hi All - new to Affinity. Lots to learn. My first real photo editing experience so please be kind. I've got a bright outdoor family photo. Unfortunately one of our family members who happens to be hair challenged has a very bright shiny spot off to the side. Not sure the best solution to correct this. I'm playing with the clone brush and the healing brush but to no avail. any suggestions?
