hi adubio After merge visible if you need to make changes you will have to first delete the merged layer then re merge visible to show the changes on the merged layer, there is no way of having this dynamically update itself.

Hi sobinw326 If you have not converted to curves please do so, once converted select the corner tool from the left hand tool bar select the node in the corner and drag it out.

Hi Kckbxr259 Yes please I look forward to seeing it.

Hi Metamorph Could you try the 16 bit RGB, then on the brush settings push the flow up to 4%, then with the brush selected lower the opacity on the layers tab down to around 40% this gave me a good flow with the small amounts of colour.

Hi Joyceu Instead of copy and pasting could you try file and open or if inserting into an existing document file, place, copy and paste can sometimes impact on the quality of images.

Hi paulzabphoto I guess the answer here paulzabphoto whatever your happy with and what suits your workflow, your method of using curves and and blending modes would be quicker but the method in the video alters the colour space for the individual channels (red, green and blue) whereas the method using the curves and blend mode alters the whole picture in one go. As I mentioned above it is a matter of what suits you best, try both methods and see which one you prefer.

Hi Stuart A feathering tool has been requested Stuart and it is being looked at but for now if you select the refine button and apply a feather, you can do this a few times to build up the feather effect.

Hi adubio I would recommend selecting merge visible from the layers menu adubio, this creates a new pixel layer with all the objects flattened, if you need to make changes delete this pixel layer make your changes on the other layers and merge visible again thus preserving your original layers.

Hi rdat When effects/enhancements are made to an image it does increase in size, I would advise creating either or both a cloud and dropbox account and saving the images to these.

Hi Janabouc Could you give me step by step set of instructions that leads to the picture coming in upside down please Also could you send me one of the images that is doing this using the link below so that I can check this. https://www.dropbox.com/request/9hX5cnajObr5j4Ls7HZ2

Hi SPRRPD339 I have put a short description how I created the effect you are looking for SPRRPD339. I downloaded a free parchment picture, there are lots of royalty free images on the internet. Open this in designer. Place text on the page. Right click the text and select mask to below. Go into the pixel persona. Select the erase brush tool, choose texture on the brushes tab. Select a texure you like. Adjust the hardness and opacity to suit and erase bits of your text. When you have the desired result export as a tiff to hold the transparency.

Hi 9bars Once you have the channel mixer open and the RGB selected touch the colour you wish to change eg red and from the pop up context menu type the value you want from the left hand number pad, touch the colour red again to hide the context menu and apply the colour, repeat for the green and blue.

To get back into the equirectangular edit mode with the edited image Zee2 please do the following, click Layer, Live projection, equirectangular.

This can be quite hard to do donka with a white BKG and a light yellow bag. Hide the original layer. The first thing I did was duplicate the layer then use the selection brush and delete the white BKG and the red items along with the handle and zip so that I was left with just the yellow bag. I then selected just the yellow bag and used adjustments recolour to colour the bag then unhide the original layer. I only spent a little time on the attached so they are not perfect but with more time I am sure you will get a good result, the afphoto will show you the layer structure, hope this helps you. yellow bag.afphoto

Hi Kckbxr259 I have put a set of rough instructions below Kckbxr259 and I would strongly advise going through the tutorials as this will help you get the best out of the App, if you use the link below then go to the section drawing lines and shapes, this will help you with the star effect you are trying to make. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10815-official-affinity-designer-video-tutorials-70/ Put your text onto the page and use the fill tool to fill with colour and then change the top and bottom nodes to change the colour, click on the line to add more nodes. Use the star tool to draw your star and add points from the context tool bar. Convert the star to curves (button on the context tool bar). Select the node tool, on the end of one of the points near the bottom of the star drag the node down to the left. Click half way up the piece you dragged down to create a node, do the same on the other half of this section. Drag them down a little to the bottom right. Drag a box around both these nodes and select convert to smooth icon on the context tool bar. This should give you a good basis to start building on the star effect.

Hi Metamorph Could you try changing the colour format to RGB (16 bit) please Metamorph, I tested this and it did look better, documents, colour format, RGB (16 bit). You could also try adjusting the Accumulation slider.

Hi AffinityAppMan There is no way to increase the size of the brush above 1024px this size limit was set at the design stage.

Hi F1gur471v31y_5p34k1ng I am afraid not but if you duplicate the original layer then put your auto filters on you can turn the top layer on and off which should give you some indication of the changes.

Hi F1gur471v31y_5p34k1ng You are not doing anything wrong F1gur471v31y_5p34k1ng the changes can be very small depending on the image used, if you apply the auto filters then click the undo button you should see some change in the picture as the filters are being removed.

Hi Scotaldinho Yes it is possible to remove the white BKG, if you go into the pixel persona, use the selection brush tool, select a potion of the white BKG and press the delete key on the keyboard, repeat to delete more, export as a PNG which supports transparency.

Hi Jens To deselect the node so that you can start a new one just double tap the last node Jens.

Hi themidor I used the selection brush in Affinity Photo to select just the green edges of the image you posted, then from the layers tab select recolour from the adjustment icon or layer, new adjustment layer, recolour adjustment. I used the following values Hue 30.1 saturation 22 I left the green tint on the main body and just recoloured the edges. You may need to adjust to suit your needs.

Hi Laxx I am not to sure what you are after Lexx, are you trying to cut out a shape from another shape using the pen tool to draw the shapes?

Hi Stanley To merge all layers into one without duplicating all the layers one by one or in set groups open the layers studio, then from the commands menu (top left menu circle three dots) select merge, merge visible.
