With this attitude we all could be happy with Photoshop Elements.

Now I want to switch on again. The moderators argue on the whole that the alignment of a text to a self-constructed path is a design element and thus a case for the designer. Then it is also inconsistent that in Affinity photo forms such as star, gear wheel, cloud etc. are found. These are basically only design elements, too. @Murph7355: In Photoshop Elements it is only possible to align text to paths, but not within paths - apart from prefabricated forms.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello, color gradient as setting level would be very nice. Regards, Martin

Hello, it's annoying that own keyboard shortcuts in Affinity Designer and Photo (for Windows) get lost with every restart. It would be useful, that they always will be loaded. Regards, Martin

Hello, I have a little wish: The possibility to make space between the tools. :) Like here (Photoshop Elements): Regards, Martin

Pictures say more than words:

That's true. :)

Oh, how simple. Thanks!

No I thought primarily at Affinity Photo (I have the windows beta). And there is only a rudimentary function to choose red, green and blue shades without the possibility to choose colors by choice respectively to exclude them (with a pipette). I know about the compatibility of Affinity Photo and Designer, but I already had several crashes when I moved a file back and forth. Of course I know that Affinity Photo still has beta status.

Please add convert layer mask to selection and convert selection to layer mask. Regards, Martin

Please add a color range select tool! Regards, Martin

Oh, I didn't know the hint with CTRL-J - thanks (also works in Photoshop Elements, as I can see).

Hello, I've played around with Affinity Photo again and I've encountered a behavior that, in my opinion, interferes with the workflow. An example: In Photoshop Elements I load an image and create a copy with CTRL-J. I create a selection with the selection brush, press CTRL-C and CTRL-V to create a new layer with the selected element. I go back to the copied layer and create with the selection brush another selection, press CTRL-C and CTRL-V to create a new layer with the selected item. At Photo Affinity I go the same way. Only after the creation of the first selection and the generation of a new layer the selection remains, so that it has to be removed first, which is completely unnecessary and irritating.

Hello, when I import several pictures at once and move the scroll wheel of my mouse I get an "unprocessed exception error". Regards, Martin

Very good!

Yes. This way I can confirm the problem.

Hello, I have a problem with the mask function. To illustrate this as clearly as possible, I would like to illustrate this by means of a practical example in which I proceed step by step. Maybe someone can help me? First, I set a dog free with the pickup brush. Then I go on Refine edges. I refine the mask and set the output to New Layer with Mask. The mask is done. Now I create a new layer with a gradient and place it under the mask. I want to refine a bit later and click on the mask with the right mouse button on Refine mask. Then I get this: I think the reason therefor is the mark Follow contrast limits. Ok, I can disable it so then it looks like this: But if I want to change the mask for some reason, the detached pixels are still present. In any case, the mask looks different. I must say I'm pretty irritated. By the way, Affinity Photo started out on my longer experiment, spinning around and showed, among other things, this result:

Hello, I can't conform this. My system is Windows 7 x64 with all updates, Core i7, Intel HD 530. Your problem must be somewhere else.

Hello, it's annoying that own keyboard shortcuts in Affinity Designer and Photo (for Windows) get lost with every restart. It would be useful, that they always will be loaded. Regards, Martin

@Jon: That was fixed fast. Thank you!

Hello, is there a plan to advance the brush options like they are in Photoshop? Regards, Martin

Hi MEB, thanks for your solution, it works fine. But last night I figured out how to do it - so I have to say that the current crop function is not even bad: If I want to cut a picture I just go to the point reduce - voilà! As simple as that. :) And than I can easy add empty space at the picture. A checkbox to make the crop destructive as a matter of fact would be useful but so it's not really bad how I thought before. I'm looking forward to the progress of Affinity software! @Fixx: Ok, but what if I already have a cropped picture? And the problem is solved as you can read now. Thanks. @DavidMac: Your pictures are fascinating! Really interesting. I like this kind of art.

Hello, the error with tif files in relation to Affinity Windows is reproducible.
