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

Sorry, been putting up a new shed... You can also use the Selection Brush Tool to select areas of similar colours - may give you a more precise outline than an ellipse. Cheers, H

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

Ah @Callum that would do the trick! Raises the question which application the OP is using...

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.

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

Try Preferences - Software Update (this is Publisher, which I bought direct from Serif): Cheers, H

You may well find the custom brushes you're looking for in the Resources section of these forums. Cheers, H

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

On macOS 10.15 it also updates if I select a new tool (eg Move, Artboard or Node), either by clicking in the toolbar or by using a keyboard shortcut, or if I change settings (eg pixel view mode) in the top toolbar.

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.

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.

Select both curves, then go to the Layer menu and under Geometry choose Merge Curves: Hope that helps! H

I run FFT Denoise Filter (on a .jpg), drag the brush around, click Apply and Affinity Photo Beta 1.8.0.163 crashes immediately, with no crash report. Re-launching the Beta re-opens the image that I was editing. macOS 10.15 on a 2019 15" Retina display MacBook Pro. Performance prefs below: Cheers, H

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

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.

@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.

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
