I expect blank/empty fills to appear with a red line through them, however in swatches panel they simply are gray (or whatever the UI panel color is)
It seems to work here (Windows). Are you on Mac?

Welcome to the forums here

A layer mask unfolds its effect through grey values - and not through colour values. It makes sense, therefore, if the greyscale palette is made available to you when you click on the mask thumbnail. If you set this back to the colour wheel, the brightness values of the colours are used - i.e. grey values again. -

Selecting an element in Designer 2 takes time to select.
What do you mean by selecting an element - Clicking on an object with the move tool? What kind of object is it?
Can you possibly provide us with a video? -

Hello, the following seems to be missing in Affinity Photo 2.04 for Windows, or is it there?
White balance: White balance adjustment level > Eye Dropper button
If a lens profile is stored, an automatic lens correction takes place (develop Persona).
Content-based filling: Menu Edit > Fill > Inpainting
Recording: Macro panel

I'm trying to decide whether or not to purchase a mockup creator for my stationery business, but it's created for PSD. Is it possible to have my card take on the texture and perspective of the original card from the mockup?
Welcome to the forums here

Which programme should be used to create the PSD files? Photoshop, for example, creates smart filter layers for mockups. But not all the functions of smart layers are transferred to Affinity.
Why do you want to buy a programme for this? Mockups can be made very easily in Affinity Photo. -
Long awaited - thank you!
Unfortunately it doesn't work via keyboard shortcut (as @Frozen Death Knight had already mentioned). But Ctrl+Alt+L is the way I do it most of the time. -

When a live mask preview is turned on, it still impacts the visible image when the mask is turned off in the layers panel.
This seems to work for me as expected (assuming I understood you correctly). The preview only shows a cover mask where the selected areas are displayed as brightness values.
Maybe you can provide us with some screenshots (e.g. of the layer panel).

...However, in Photo 2 if I add a sampler it doesn't show the color channel values near the mouse pointer, but rather the pixel coordinates...
Sampling from a position
works the same in V2 as in V1: The coordinates are displayed.
Probably the presenter has picked up a colour with the eyedropper
from the colour or colour field panel. In this case, the colour values are displayed.

How do I place a start icon on my Windows desktop? I can click on the install exe and go from there. Thank
Welcome to the forums here

If you can start the programme with the exe file, why don't you link it to the desktop? Simply drag the file onto the desktop with the right mouse button and select “Create shortcut here” in the context menu. -

How can someone achieve that same workflow?
Welcome to the forums here

You can right-click on the image link and select "Open with".
If you need the drag-and-drop functionality, you should install the exe programme files of the apps - instead of the MSIX files. -

What am i doing wrong?
There was an introductory discount until 31 January. Now you have to buy Affinity Photo at the indicated price (e.g. 84.99 €).

How can I get this screen to appear?
I will try to attach two images.Click on the button
at the top right of the programme interface. Or select Help > My Account from the menu.
I am on Windows. But I think it's the same on Mac. -

Can you elaborate? No matter how many times I paste or place the copied object, it is still linked to the originally copied object so that any changes made to the "new" object result in those changes migrating back to the original object.
If you place a proprietary file several times, you get a separate layer for each of these files. These layers are independent of each other.
Click on one of these layers to activate it. Then double-click on the content in your layout. This opens this content in its own tab (therefore proprietary). Make the desired edits and close the tab again. You can also do this with the other placed layers without them influencing each other. -
@Mike Swartzbeck, You can also use the commands in the menu Window > Arrange.

In photoshop there is an option to copy into a new unlinked smart object, but I can't find any similar function in Photo, is there any solution?
Simply place the proprietary file in question several times in your document (File > Place). After double-clicking on an object, you can edit it in a new window independently of the others.

1. is there a possibility to change the installation path of affinity photo 2.0 ?
You can change the installation path in Windows after you have installed Affinity Photo. To do this, go to Apps in the settings, click on the programme entry and then on the "Change" button.

humm, i just loaded the above screenshot inti affinity 2, and the dpi was there, and as you said, when rasterised it disappeared. This isnt the case in designer 2. surely when you rasterise a 300dpi image, it still has a dpi value to it, on designer 1, when i rasterise and resize, the dpi figure is still there and changes when i scale the rasterised image.
I can't see the layer state in your V1 screenshots because the layer name is too long. So I can't see the bracket value.
But I have now tested it in both versions. Both versions behave absolutely identically (under Windows): When an image is rasterised, the editable information disappears. However, a non-editable dpi display is still visible.
Maybe a Mac user can comment on this to see if it is a Mac problem.

how bizarre, nothing there for me at all...
Have you rasterised the image? Then this information is no longer available at this point. Do you have a screenshot of your layers panel?
-
@TommoHawkk, the information at the top left of your screenshot is also there in V2. Make sure you have the Move tool
selected and the image is selected.

sorry, might not have made sense there. I cant find this information in Affinity Designer 2 anywhere, this is a screenshot from Affinity Designer 1.
It sounded like you were still using version 1. In version 2 the resource management is in the menu "Window" (at least in Windows).

Ive been using Affinity Designer 1 for 5 year, when i select a raster image, on the top left it shows the current DPI of that selected image, screenshot attached. For some reason i cant see anything on the stock UI that shows this information, or any toggles in view/studio etc.
Welcome to the forums here!
I am not sure if I have understood you correctly. Why do you want to see the information again in another place?
But you can also see the most important image data in the resource management (menu View > Manage Resources). -

software.mein appel war sofort kaputt und ich konnte meine gekaufte software bis heute nie nutzen.kann ich bitte die Windowsversion dagegen eintauschen.ich will keinen Appel mehr haben
In principle, you have to buy the software for each system separately. An exception is the universal licence, which is available for V2. With the universal licence, you purchase the entire Affinity suite for all platforms.

There's no automatic tool to do it but a recolour adjustment will allow you to do it manually
This is not a good idea!
With "Recolor" you merely colour a black and white variant of the image monochromatically. The result is an image that consists of only one colour. The different colour tones are created depending on the existing brightness levels. White remains white and black remains black. All other original colours are lost.


Copying image content from RAW to non-RAW does not work

Do the following:
Result: The image content has disappeared, as if I had not copied but cut. The (empty) layer itself is still there.
