  1. Alfred, Rasterizing did the trick! So many thanks for the suggestion. And thanks for yours, p_mac. What puzzled me was that it had as much information to work with on the one it wouldn't do as it did with the ones that it would. Huh, I hadn't even realized that the inpainting tool had a stabilizer function. I guess it could be useful in some tight picky spaces. I'll give it a try next time I run into that kind of situation.
  2. I forget that the Straighten option is there. Always hated that kind of Straightening thing in Capture NX. I have a very good eye for level and I do much better just using the top arrow to rotate the canvas till it looks right. I will try rasterizing though.
  3. Alfred, I didn't crop. I just used Crop to Straighten. And I didn't rasterize. Maybe that's the problem. I'll give it another try after a bit. Right now, I'm really tired of mucking with it. Thanks for the suggestion. Not knowing why is every bit as frustrating as not knowing how.
  4. I don’t know if I’ve discovered a bug or simply an idiosyncrasy of El Capitan but I’ve been able to duplicate this “glitch” several times on 4 different images; Used Crop to Rotate (and straighten) the image as shown. Then used the InPainting Tool, beginning with the top right corner down to about halfway. Worked fine. The bottom right corner worked better on a subsequent image than it did on this one. I haven’t been able to duplicate the green effect in the bottom left corner. InPainting worked correctly there on the next attempt. However, in all of the attempts, on all of the images, this is what happens trying to InPaint from the top left corner. It goes this far and hangs! And the only option is to Force Quit. I have waited for as long as 3 minutes (Solitare on the ipad helps to pass the time) waiting to see if it would unhang and continue. As a side note, those little irritations (like having to close the Left Studio and then Use Cmd/0 to enlarge your image…every time!) become major irritations when repeated and repeated and repeated while trying to pin down a problem.
  5. R C-R, AD will open with Left Studio hidden, and it will only appear when I hit F9 (my shortcut for Show Left Studio.) Neither changing Personas nor using Tab to show/hide the UI cause it to open. But as I pointed out earlier, in View> Studio, Show Left Studio has never been checked. And I'm not about to check it now to see if that's the culprit. Bad enough to have it popping up all the time in AP, which it does!
  6. We already have "Tools" and "Toolbar." If the Studio were to be renamed, "Panels" were be more appropriate since that is what they are called in Help and all the videos. I don't see any need for renaming. Most users quickly learn the preferred terminology of an app.
  7. Oh yes! You're right. A Dialog checkbox is what we need. It is so aggravating to have to Scroll down, Select one, Go back to View, Scroll down, Select another, Repeat, Repeat, Repeat, ad nauseam.
  8. Yes! I scroll fast so I scroll past it and have to scroll back up...every time! Even better would be a shortcut to open the Studio menu.
  9. If you're in the Dark UI it's barely visible with your gamma settings as bright as they'll go!
  10. This seems to be fixed in Designer but it still exists in Photo.
  11. Since I am a total newbie at Design, regardless of having bought Designer on release, I guess I am qualified to comment on this manual. It may seem on the basic side for those who have spent years with Illustrator and other design apps before coming to Affinity but for the beginner it was created for and directed to, it is quite good. I've been too busy lately to spend any serious time with it but just reading through has given me several handy tips that will be quite useful down the line. It's well laid out, well written, and organized for the beginner who needs the basic before branching out into all the extras that Designer offers. I expect it to be very helpful to those as new as I am to actually working in a design app. And of course, the very best part is that it is PDF-based and can be used on-screen beside the app or printed out for studying when the app is closed.
  12. Oh Wow, the light UI is lovely! And if my eye had hands, they'd be clapping their little hearts out. Thank you so much for taking care of all of us, the one who love the dark UI (beautiful but squinty) and those like me who need..and like!...the lovely light one.
  13. I wouldn't consider it worth it just for the eraser tool. I bought it back when it was iDraw and prolly the best affordable vector app at the time. That, of course, was before Affinity blew us out of the water with Designer!
  14. That's the only thing I use it for since I bought Designer. If and when we get an eraser, I will probably uninstall it. It is terribly clunky compared to Designer.
  15. Let's hope it means that they are feverishly working to finish and release Betas 1.6.
  16. Those options would be extra nice to have but for now, I'd be happy just to have a basic vector eraser like Graphic's.
  17. Personally, as a user/owner of both Photo and Designer, I'm a lot more interested in the developers concentrating their time and attention on perfecting (or as close as any developer comes) the apps they already have out than in having them possibly spreading themselves too thin trying to introduce too many things at once. Photo and Designer are both young and while showing great potential, both need further development in order to be the Adobe killers that many of us are hoping for. In the meantime, there are other options for DAMs, some free, some not.
  18. Hopefully, it will be a Preference and not a default. 100% would over-fill my 20" screen. A Preference would please everyone.
  19. I agree that it would only be useful for small changes of a few taps. And I'm not sure that it would be needed that often anyway. It does seem rather sloppy though that going back down the same number of steps won't return you to your starting place.
  20. I have no idea what algorithm would be needed but the practical use for it being "perfect" would be to accurately return to a line that you wanted to only briefly enlarge.
  21. If you start with a one-pixel brush, it's easy to see the sequence used, harder to figure out the reasoning behind it. 1 - 1.2 - 1.3 - 1.5 - 1.7 - 2 gives you a sequence of adding .1 - .2 - .3 - .4 but then it reverts to .3 to even out at 2 pixels. From 2 pixels to 4 changes the pattern a bit. 2 - 2.3 - 2.7 - 3.1 - 3.5 - 4 adds .3 - .4. - .4 - .4 then goes to .5 for an even 4 pixels. Math was never my strong suit so I may be overlooking something obvious.
  22. Is a vector eraser included in the roadmap at this time? iDraw/Graphic is a rather pathetic alternative to Designer but I find myself doing the Export/Import/Export/Import dance just to use Graphic's vector eraser.
