Hi paulory
 
There is a mesh warp and perspective tools under the filters section which may help you with this project.

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 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 Ian
 
Just done a little investigation into the macro and I think I have found a way to get the text and size working for you.
If you create the macro but without the resize of the document.
When you go to the batch job window select the format you want the images in, then in the width and height boxes put your 2400 x 1800 uncheck the A (aspect ratio) and it should output the macro with the text and the size you need.
Just checked and at this point in time the macros cannot rename the image Ian.
I hope this helps with the Macros Ian.

Hi Smile
 
With the layer selected select the circle with the three dots on the top right to get a menu, duplicate is the first option.

Hi Agrnam
 
The only other thing I can think of to get the program installed would be to run your Windows in a limited mode using msconfig Agrnam, I have put a set of instructions below for you to follow.
 
1. Press the Windows key and the letter R 2. Type MSCONFIG and click OK 3. Click the Services tab, check "Hide all Microsoft services" and click Disable All 4. Click Apply 5. Click the Startup tab 6. Make a note of all the items that are checked and unchecked - you will need to restore these later 7. Click Disable All, click Apply and click OK/Close 8. Restart your computer when prompted   9. Install the application   10. Repeat steps 1 and 2 11. Click the Services tab, make sure "Hide all Microsoft services" is checked and click Enable All 12. Click Apply 13. Click the Startup tab 14. Recheck the items that you noted down as being checked 15. Click Apply and click OK/Close 16. Restart your computer when prompted.   John

hi JW17
 
There is a lot of light in the background that is effecting the picture JW17 but I did manage to get some results using the develop persona, I use all of the following tools.
 
exposure, blackpoint, brightness, contrast, a little clarity and shadows plus highlights.
 
I have attached the results, you would get better results if you were to take the pictures with no light intrusion. 
 

Hi Clem
 
I am afraid there is no way of setting the the defaults to read mm they will keep resetting to pixel when you start a new project, it may be worth putting this in the request feature forum, I have put a link to it below.
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/44-ipad-feature-requests-suggestions-and-feedback/
 
When you setup a document in mm the measurements the document is set in mm but adjustments such as the transform studio will still show pixels as this is the APP default setting, may be worth putting this in the feature request forum to Clem. 

Hi quietleader
 
If the objects are in exactly the same place on every picture then yes quietleader, but they would need to be in the correct place down to the pixel or it would remove parts of the image you do not wish to remove.
 
I would advise testing this on four images picked at random to test.

Hi erickb
 
I am afraid there is no way to shorten the process.

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

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.
