Think I sussed it. The file was 72dpi. I changed it to 300dpi and resized to 4986px wide. I then tried resizing the canvas and it worked as expected. Before, the canvas was too big to start with so produced a crop.

I'm trying to resize my canvas, effectively create a big white border, I did this all the time in Version 1 without issue but in 2 it doesn't work it creates a weird big crop of the image. Selective screen grab of what I'm doing changing the canvas from 16 1/4" to 20" wide... Here's what I get... The file is an .afphoto created from a .RAF file on my iMac What is happening????

I guess this simple feature is never going to happen

I like to view histogram while adjusting curves, just to see the spread, how do I do that in Affinity Photo 2 for the iPad? Can't seem to detach the panel away....

OK, sorted. Designer for the PC was in my purchase history on the Affinity website (/account/downloads/) so I could download it from there. Weirdly Photo wasn't listed, nor the iPad V2 I'd bought! Photo I downloaded from the Apple App store past purchases - but that's disappeared now. It would be a lot easier if we could just download from the Affinity customer area instead of having to faff about. One win was getting the free version of Nik Collection to work on Sonoma so all good

So, how do I install Photo version one on my Mac, I can't find it in the App Store or on the Affinity website!

Doh, why didn't I see that! Thanks, I'm using too many programs these days

Hi, I'm trying set the colour balance on two photos to match to compare two different cameras. How do I set it to a precise figure like 6K? I'm using V1 Affinity Photo. I'm sure it must be very simple. Cheers!

Yeah, I'm using V1. Thanks

How do I display the file path of the file I'm working on in the workspace? I have files with same name in different folders and it gets confusing.

Is it now possible to resize in mm using a defined dpi in version 2?

Is this a version 2 feature? It sounds similar to RawTherapee where the settings are saved in a sidecar file.

Why is the native Affinity Photo file size so humungous? I have a .dng file which is 26.9MB when I save it it becomes 292.5MB. The file has only 4 flat layers. It's even bigger than a .psd file.

Is there a way to prevent the document resizing to fill the screen after you resize a document in Affinity Photo? If you're working on icons it's annoying when they become massive after resizing.

Basically I don't think you can do it. If you have an object filled with a Pantone color and select it there's no way of knowing what the Pantone is as far as I can see? Which seems dumb.

Any update on this, when you're working on files locally and Dropbox it can get confusing as to which one you're editing. Simple things like this can be annoying. Maybe have an option to show the full path or just filename in the tab header?

Has to be one of the most unintuitive tools I've ever used. How do you move the crosshair about the screen?

Thanks for the tip. Usually the adjustments appears as a sub layer but they were appearing above in a layer. To reselect the second wheel object I did a workaround by selecting the background then inverting the selection.

I'm struggling with AP with adjusting individual layers. I have a photo of a car where I want to try showing different coloured wheels so I trace the wheels and paste into new layers. When I try to adjust the exposure of the wheel layers it changes the exposure for the whole picture - not helpful. So I go to reselect to isolate a wheel and apply adjustment and it works, just the wheel is changed. But when I select next wheel layer and go to Reselect it reselects the wheel I've just altered! So how do I tell it to reselect the last selection of the layer I'm currently working in? I know in Photoshop it remembers the selection from the layer you are working in.

Retried the next day and it worked.

I'm getting this error running trying to update Designer today I'm Using an iMac running Catalina. Tried couple of times but no luck 😞

Ok, I was trying to download from the popup window on startup. I've now signed in and they downloaded from within my account.

Hi, I downloaded the free brushes for Designer from my Affinity account but they didn't appear in my downloads folder. Where do they actually go, and how do I know I've got them? I'm used to manually installing software. Thanks!

Thanks, I was looking under the Preferences > User Interface.

Hi, why is it that when you select a grouping of objects in Designer then click off there's a purple glow animation? I find it distracting and a bit unnecessary.
