Hi Gino Once you have the high pass filter on the image go to the layers studio and change the blend modes to see the different effects, blend modes can be found on the layers, just below the opacity slider.

Hi sekard The flow should help in applying different amounts of blur

Hi doeboy You would be better placing this on the manufacturers forum doeboy, I have put a link below to it for you. http://bbs.huiontablet.com/forum-105-1.html

Hi Karnako The best option for what you are trying to create would be to create a custom brush and use the custom brush in the pixel persona, I have put a set of instructions below, I would advise creating several different brushes so that you have a wide choice. Set your document with a transparent background. Place one or several small rectangles over the whole page around 20 x 20 px Change the colour to what you wish. Select all the rectangles and export as a .png Start a new project. Use a quick rectangle and colour for your background. Go into the pixel persona. Select the brushes tab. From the drop down on the top right select create new catigory. Select the drop down again and select rename catigory, give it a name. Select the drop down again and select new image brush. Navigate and select the .png you have just exported. Select the paint brush tool and your newly imported brush and paint.

Hi SweetP To recolour a part of an image first select the selections persona, select the tool you wish to use I selected the smart selection brush, select the area on the photo. To recolour select the adjustment studio on the right hand tool bar (square with three dots). Scroll down and select recolour. The adjustments are on the context tool bar at the bottom.

Hi Evat With text you would be far better using Affinity Designer, Photo uses raster which can give the effect you are getting but with Designer if exported as a .svg the results are far better, please see attached image (not the font you use but it will give you an example). smart watches.svg

Hi corinth With the reset you do lose any customisation but not your files you are working on, as the program was not responding uninstall and reinstall would have most probably lost the custom settings so a reset was all that was left, this reset the app data which looks like it has worked was the only option left to get the App going. Your working files will still be on your PC wherever you saved them corinth, if you are not sure where you saved them do a search using .afphoto for Affinity Photo Files.

Hi mATriX2305 Could you select the place image thumbnail instead of the mask, the inpainting tool works directly on an image but not on a mask.

Hi Ladycarolineartist To get the quick mask effect could you do this please. With your image open go into the selections persona. From the commands menu select selection as layer, toggle "edit selection as layer" gives the quick mask. Go into the Photo persona. Use the paint brush tool to paint your outline (making sure white is selected). Use the flood fill tool to file the selection. Go into the selection persona. From the commands menu select selection as layer, toggle "edit selection as layer" to turn of the quick mask. Go back into the Photo persona where you will have your selection.

Hi Vively Once you have put the mask on the pixel layer, on the layers tab expand the pixel layer to show the mask, select the mask, if you now select the brush tool and brush type, select the black on the colour tab, you should see the effect as you paint it erases the mask to show the original picture on the background layer. If you cannot see the effect try not turning the opacity down.

Hi mATriX2305 If you say use a curves adjustment, using the paint brush with the black colour selected it will erase if you now change to white it will paint it back on again.

Hi Sudson The Nikon Coolpix B700 is not one of the supported RAW format I am afraid Sudson, for a full list of supported RAW cameras please use the link below. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/24260-affinity-photo-15-beta-raw-camera-support-rc2/

Hi ruizjim You can install the App's on any computers you personally own ruizjim.

Hi Claire It could be that the background id white but could you try exporting it as a PNG portable network graphic and see if this holds the transparent background for you.

hi stevezz1 Affinity Photo uses your Windows interface at this point, have you tried changing view options on the top right of the open window.

Hi Apogamer The ALT in Affinity Photo on the desktop does not draw a straight line it allows you to pick colours out of a picture Apogamer, If you wish a straight line the best tool to use is the pen tool, select the pen tool then on the bottom context tool bar on the mode section select line.

Hi Ian I looked and could not find a way to change the name in either the macro or the batch process as it saves with the original name, if you save to the original folder with the same extension .jpg for instance it overwrites the original so be aware Ian, in the new batch job window there is an option to select where you save it to, I would advise creating a new folder to save the changes to so that you keep the originals safe.

Hi Zanthia There is no way to import styles at this point in time Zanthia, this could possible be included in the future.

To lock a layer select the layer then on the top of the layers tab select the lock icon, this is covered in the tutorials, I would strongly recommend going through all the tutorials so that you can get the best out of the App.

Hi bowen192 The Edit All Layers button doesn't seem to do anything If you selected several layers then select the edit all layer any adjustment will apply to all the selected layer. Locking a layer has no effect and only prevents an edit of objects within the layer This is exactly what the lock on layer was designed to do. I don't really understand the difference between the pixel layer and the normal layer. I would advise going through a few tutorials on layers, please click the link below to get to the online tutorials. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10119-official-affinity-photo-desktop-video-tutorials-200/

Hi Ian Thank you for the macro, I found the issue, if you edit the macro and take out the check on the document properties, save the macro it works, not sure why this would cause an issue so I have passed this on to our QA team to check it out.

Hi The RollingMountain If you do not group the two items the outer A and the inner top of the A but instead select both items then go to the top conext tool bar and select the subtract icon, if you fill the object it will fill the letter A.

hi Ian Could you use the link below please to send me the macro. https://www.dropbox.com/request/srNgvyUwy3sDRbKgRovL

Hi uncle808us The only way to get the sharp edge would be to go into the gradient add two nodes, change the colour to the colour you wish then drag one node over the top of the other node, this will work with two colours but not more.

Hi Ian When replying click the more reply options button on the bottom right of the post and you should get the familiar paper clip to attach the macro.
