Free draw
h_d replied to Alan Pischner's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
If you have an Apple Pencil, are you using the iPad version of Photo? If so, it might be worth posting in the Affinity for iPad forum. We're desktop wallahs here -
Another way... Draw a circle using the Ellipse Tool constrained with the shift key. Set fill to None. Set stroke to desired colour and thickness of banana. Set stroke end caps to rounded. Convert circle to curves. Select Node Tool. Click at one end of banana. Click Break Curve in Context Toolbar. Click at other end of banana, again click Break Curve. This will create two layers in the Layers panel. Delete the non-banana. End result: .afdesign file attached with history saved so you can scrub through it. Cheers, H bananaman.afdesign

Not really no - it was ghost cat trying to freak out the pooch. 🐈 (But to get vaguely back on topic, it was done using Affinity Photo and a Recolour adjustment. It's non-destructive so I can go back to original - though sadly deceased - cat if I need to. The colour change is a screen recording of me scrubbing the Hue slider up and down.)

Probably best to ask this in a separate thread on the main Questions forum. This board (and this thread) are Affinity Photo Beta 1.8 specific. Cheers, H

From PDF to JPEG

Ah @Callum that would do the trick! Raises the question which application the OP is using... -
From PDF to JPEG
h_d replied to pierobortolot's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I fear that @Callum 's solution may only produce a single .jpeg containing an image of all the pages, even if Affinity Photo were happy opening and exporting a 150-page pdf document. This happened when I tried it with a three-page pdf. (I also tried it with a 64-page pdf and my Mac crashed hard). If @pierobortolot is on a Mac, I can offer a non-Affinity solution using Automator and a third-party app, Graphic Converter. Post back if interested. -
Problem when replacing sky
h_d replied to daveb2's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hi and welcome to the forums! It's hard to tell without seeing the original image and the steps you took to get your outcome. It looks to me as though the "white line" is a left-over from the sky in the original that hasn't been selected before masking/deletion. How did you select the original sky? Did you then use the Refine... button to improve the selection? If so, did you make any changes to the settings in the Refine panel? All the best, H- 4 replies

vector brushes
h_d replied to benrymnd's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
You may well find the custom brushes you're looking for in the Resources section of these forums. Cheers, H -
Info Panel dimensions blank
h_d replied to SP40's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The Info panel doesn't display image dimensions - they're in the Transform panel. The Help documentation gives a description of what the Info panel does - it's mainly to do with colour sampling. If you set and then move a target, you'll see the H, W, D and A values update in the Info panel: Cheers, H -
Raw editing problem with Panasonic RW2
h_d replied to Depa's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
Yeah I've seen very much the same thing - it's good to have it confirmed. See this thread. Out of interest, what camera are you using? I have no problems with .rw2 files from my new GX9, but files from my older GX7 are definitely coming out darker - unusably darker in many cases. -
posting on forum
h_d replied to Beverley's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hi Beverley and welcome! I can't help with the question about the book I'm afraid, but below each forum post you should see a box labelled "Reply to this topic..." Just click into the box and start typing. If you can't see it, it may be that you have to wait until you've made a couple of posts of your own before the forum software lets you reply to others. I would be careful about reviving old topics though: the information in them may well be out of date, and people are more likely to answer a new question. Cheers, H -
That's not the beta version, though (you can tell from the application icon). Many have reported issues with the release build of Affinity Photo and recent versions of macOS. The beta version is a lot closer to prime time... but not quite.

linking text frames
h_d replied to JamesCanning's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
One way to visualise 8- and 16-page signatures is to get a sheet of paper, fold it to the configuration of the signature and then write the folios on in the correct order and orientation. Unfold the 'signature' to get the layout of the pages on the printed sheet. Before unfolding, underline 1, 6, 8, 9 and 11 so you get the orientation right (I forgot 11 before taking the pics ). It's a bit rough and ready, but in the absence of any imposition software it got me out of a few scrapes. You'd be hard-pressed to do a 32 though. Cheers, H -
Save extensions
h_d replied to abbylady's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I don't think you're missing anything. Your .afphoto documents (or 'projects'), with layers, adjustments, live filters, masks etc, are your own working versions. They are only editable in Affinity applications, and can only be saved as .afphoto documents. When you want to use them for broader purposes (eg to display on a website), then you would export them in a more general format (.jpg, .png etc). If you want to upload .afphoto files to your website so that other people can download them, then @v_kyr's answer may help. (It's outside my competence.) But if you want to upload them so that other people can see them as part of the design of your website, then they need to be exported from Affinity Photo in a web-browser-compatible format like .jpg or .png. Hope this helps, H -
Thanks @acapstick - shame it's gone, as it would be a great way to geolocate a series of images without repeatedly having to key in an address.

Affinity Develop extension - raw editing
h_d replied to h_d's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
@Chris B Thanks! I think our last posts may have crossed. I think you're right, it's the exposure that's blowing the shadows. But the image only needs the extreme exposure adjustment in the beta extension. As per my screen shots above, it only needs minimal exposure adjustment in the release version. -
Affinity Develop extension - raw editing
h_d replied to h_d's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
More details - screen grabs of the bee image (from Apple Photos) as initially opened using the release build (1.7.3) Affinity Develop extension: and in the beta 1.8.0.163 Affinity Develop extension: Just to confirm, the image file is an .rw2 Panasonic Raw file shot with a Panasonic GX7. I am not seeing this issue with images shot with a Panasonic GX9. Cheers, H
